Weekend Getaway: Acapulco, Mexico

Its Friday, folks. If your weekend plans are not yet solid, why not tell the boss you’ll be out on Monday and hop a last minute flight to Mexico? Hell, you deserve Tuesday off as well. For this trip, we suggest Acapulco, the gem of the southern Mexican state of Guerrero. Acapulco is just a few hundred miles away from the southernmost tip of Mexico, where mountain meets sea in a dramatic contrast. For the uninitiated, Acapulco is quite similar to some Mediterranean hotspots, with climbing mountain villas and a warm, vivid blue bay. The beaches are unreal, and the local culture and cuisine is vibrant and spicy. You can fly direct to Acapulco from several U.S. cities, or from a connecting flight within Mexico. Want to see more?
