    We looked at Apple. It was a comparable price, actually about $50 cheaper, then Expedia. However look closely, regardless of who you choose, at the additional airline baggage fees. Apple only had flights through Spirit at the reasonable rates. But, Spirit's baggage fees even for international are ridiculous. They even charge for carry on bags. When it was said and done we were looking at over $300 more to go that route. We flew Delta with no extra fees.

    We are there same time as you are. We use expedia with no problems. As for the boob cruise it is a must do. Watch for Steve;s sticky to be posted for your dates. I belive it will fill up fast so keep checking. For your transfer to and from airport we use USA Transfer.These people are great!! If you use them go to Steve's sticky and click on transfer. I know you do not know Steve but he is great and he gets a few dollars if you book through his sticky. Can wait to meet!

    If booking through a website, and you don't see the flight you want, give their help line a call. I did this with cheapcaribbean because fyling from the west coast, I wanted a redeye so we get in to the resort at a decent time. They didn't have any listed on the website, but they have them when you talk to the agent. They also wil usually meet other sites prices.

    If interested in booking seperate, take a look at Alpharooms. Steve has a link on the website. Just booked 9 days in late july for $1236. You have to watch the website the prices bounce in a matter minutes.

    This is our 2nd time going and we booked using alpharooms.com this year. We booked for July 24-Aug 3 and it was 1473.99 total. Last year we booked using Expedia and had no problems at all either. Only reason we chose to use alpharooms was due to the price. We've been watching prices since we got back last year and this was the best price for the hotel.

    As for the boob cruise check the stickys, that's where Steve will post the boob cruise registration threads. Typically he posts them a month a head of time.

    Good luck with booking!!!! You are gonna have a blast!!!

    Aaa

    We used our AAA to get the best price, you can give them a call and at least put them into the mix. Resorts tend to be good to AAA member as they don't want any bad ratings. Our AAA planner told us the good and bad about Cancun had personal experience of the area. You don't get that online, always the good stories only. Our planner put no rush, timetable or other pressure to get us to book. And in one phone call, poof, fantastic airline rates. We always check around but having AAA behind you is a good guarantee of feeling safe in what you get. Just room for thought.

    We used expedia our last 4 trips, came out better because of the lower flight costs
    when booked together.
    As far as your wife being more comfortable now, great. My wife was still very
    nervous & cautious and ready to cancel daily before our first trip last Sept.
    Now? She can't wait to return and have another awesome vacation! Me too!
    Hope to meet you guys, we'll be there April 26 - May 4.
