VIP Newsflash May 5th

GREETINGS:

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! In this heat, toasting Mexico's victory over the French back in 1862 is a great excuse to get out and enjoy an ice-cold margarita. Salud!

And remember, this coming week is Mother's Day, celebrated here in Mexico on Friday the 10th and in the U.S. on Sunday the 12th. Take advantage of both days to either spoil a loved one or treat yourself by going out to eat, buying something at one of the fabulous affiliated boutiques, or visiting a spa. Further on in the flash we will be featuring a few restaurants with specials for Mom on Friday, a list of participating restuarants that offer Sunday brunches, and our affiliated spas.
