A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Hurricane Simon weakens off Mexico Pacific Coast

MEXICO CITY, Oct 6 — Hurricane Simon lost steam off Mexico’s Pacific Coast yesterday and looked set to spare Baja California’s storm-ravaged resorts from another major battering.
The hurricane dropped to category one, the lowest on the five-level Saffir-Simpson scale, with top winds of 120 kilometers per hour as it swirled far from the coast, according to the US National Hurricane Centre.
The storm rapidly weakened throughout the day after reaching powerful category four strength overnight.
Simon was 545 kilometers southwest of Punta Eugenia and lose more strength before becoming a much weaker tropical depression when it reaches the Baja California peninsula later this week, well north of Los Cabos resorts.
A hurricane center tracking map shows Simon making landfall well north of the Los Cabos resorts that were pummeled last month by Hurricane Odile, which left six people dead.
The hurricane was expected to produce up to 20 centimeters of rain across central Baja California and parts of Sonora state in northwestern Mexico.
The rain could trigger flash floods and mudslides, the hurricane center said. — AFP

7 Shameless Ways to Get an Upgrade

Posted by Caroline Costello on Tuesday, September 30, 2014

Want an upgrade? The key is availability: All upgrades are based on it. They're 
also, largely, based on loyalty status. But even if you do belong to your 
airline's or hotel's loyalty program, you're still competing with countless 
other travelers for the same upgrade. To rise above the pack, it'll take 
smarts, a strategy, and (dare we say it) shamelessness. Here are seven 
brazen ways to angle for an upgrade from an airline or a hotel.

(Photo: Thinkstock/iStock)
Give Your Airline Crew a Little Treat
Do: Gift something small and inexpensive to the gate agents or flight
 crew. Make them like you with inexpensive presents. Globe-trotting 
charmer Johnny Jet, a master of the art of schmoozing flight attendants, 
is a major proponent of this strategy. One of his not-so-secret 
secrets: handing out chocolates. Mr. Jet offers this advice in his T
ip of the Day: "I almost always bring two boxes of chocolates—one 
for the gate agents and one for the flight attendants, because both 
can make or break your trip. When you hand the chocolates over, 
do it with a big smile, be genuine, and don't look for anything in return."
Don't: Assume a quid pro quo. As Johnny advises, never directly 
ask for anything while distributing a gift. Airline crew are prohibited from 
accepting gifts as bribes. Small tokens like candy or snacks are good; 
anything more expensive is probably a bad idea.

Speak Their Language
Do: Demonstrate your foreign-language skills when appropriate. We've 
seen a room upgrade go to a fellow traveler in Mexico when she flaunted 
her fluency in Spanish. Initiate a friendly conversation with a hotel 
clerk in his or her native tongue, ingratiate yourself with the staff, 
and you just might receive a complimentary room upgrade. Even if 
you're not fluent, learn a word or two. Staff will appreciate a
 "hello" or "thank you" in the resident language. Make an honest 
attempt to have a sincere conversation.
Don't: Loudly and clumsily speak a few words of the local 
language to staff, expecting a shower of upgrades in return. 
A powerful voice volume will not demystify your clumsy 
attempt at a foreign language.

Say It's Your Birthday
Do: Be obvious about the day you were born. You could, 
when checking in for your flight or hotel room, happily 
mention, "It's my birthday!" Wear a pointed hat and shake 
some maracas for the full effect. There's nothing wrong with 
a little self-celebration. Seriously, though, the elusive birthday 
upgrade has been known to happen now and again. We've heard 
of passengers (usually with some kind of frequent-flyer 
status to begin with) receiving birthday upgrades sans any effort 
to draw attention to the fact. Evidence of your birthday is, 
of course, printed on your boarding pass. And your ID. And your 
Don't: Lie. The chances your deception will be exposed are high. 
We'll say it again: Your birthday is printed on your ID.

Say It's Your Honeymoon (or Anniversary)
Do: Excitedly tell your booking agent that you're on your way to 
your honeymoon vacation. Bring proof if possible: Offer the flight 
attendant an extra favor from your wedding as evidence and 
incentive. Wear your "I'm the Bride!" T-shirt. Maybe you won't 
get a pair of first-class boarding passes, but at the very least, you 
might receive some free Champagne.
If a honeymoon upgrade at your hotel or resort is what you're after,
 be sure to bring a copy of your marriage license. Many resorts offer 
complimentary honeymoon upgrades but require proof of marriage.
Don't: Lie. Airline employees and front-desk clerks aren't stupid. I'd 
venture to guess that flight or hotel staff has a good gauge for who's 
on a honeymoon and who's only faking.

Slip the Hotel Staff Some Cash
Do: The cash bribe is a decidedly shameless activity, but there's a 
slick way to do it. When paying for your stay, hold twenty bucks
 (give or take) in your hand with your credit card and smile politely, 
asking whether any room upgrades or well-located rooms are 
available. Your front-desk clerk will get the hint. This is more 
effective in some places than others, of course, so it's important 
to proceed with caution. In Las Vegas, for example, kickbacks for 
cash are more likely to be tolerated, especially if you're a guest 
who has a good play history with the hotel. At other properties, 
your front-desk agent may be risking his or her job by accepting 
a small bribe. Be careful, be respectful, and read the situation 
carefully.
Don't: Bribe an airline worker. Chocolates are one thing—but 
airline employees who accept cash bribes can lose their jobs. 
Don't even try.

Bribe a Fellow Passenger
Do: Offer the guy with a better seat $100 to switch spots. 
This isn't illegal. There aren't any clear airline policies 
prohibiting flyers from paying other passengers for seat
 swaps. There's even an app, believe it or not, called 
AirrTrade that facilitates seat buying and selling 
among passengers. You may do this, if you want.
Don't: Have high expectations or be anything other than 
extraordinarily polite. Passengers are under no obligation to 
accept your bribe. Some folks might even be offended by it.

Show Your Loyalty
Do: Flaunt your unofficial status. Signing up for a hotel chain's 
loyalty program isn't exactly shameless. But advertising your
 unfailing loyalty to a boutique property that doesn't have a 
loyalty program is a bit bolder. Returning to a B&B for the
 third time? Write an email to the owners. Mention that 
you've been there a bunch of times. Tell them how much 
you love their property. If appropriate, write a good review. 
Send the link to the owners and congratulate them on a 
job well done. Show that you appreciate your stay, and 
your hosts just might show you a little appreciation in return, 
whether it's in the form of a room upgrade, coupons, or even 
just free bottles of water by your bed. Better yet, you can feel 
good about sharing some positive thoughts with your fellow
 humans.
Don't: Threaten to write a bad review if you don't receive an 
upgrade; anyone who does this should have their hotel privileges 
revoked for life.
