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.ivan

Frontiers Blog > Mexico for Homos: A Gay Man's Guide, From the Beach to the Bar Crawl Mexico for Homos: A Gay Man's Guide, From the Beach to the Bar Crawl Posted on 11/5/2014 11:58:00 AM by Patrick Rosenquist
Mexico for Homos: A Gay Man's Guide, From the Beach to the Bar Crawl
You want to get the most out of your south-of-the border vacation—who wouldn't?—but you're clueless when it comes to Mexico's beaches, boutique hotels and bar scene. Well here's a handy guide, from the country's sexiest gay beaches to a few of Mexico City's trendiest boutique properties. Looking for a night on the town in Puerto Vallarta? We've got that, too.
Our Southern Neighbor's 5 Best Gay Beaches
Our Southern Neighbor's 5 Best Gay Beaches
From hidden coves near mega-resorts to secluded sandy spots miles away from town, Mexico has dozens of gay-friendly beaches dotting its nearly 6,000 miles of coastline. These gay hangouts range from nude hookup spots to discreet scenes—with a mix of locals, tourists, prostitutes and straight folk all enjoying the sun and sand.
1. Playa de Los Muertos, Puerto Vallarta
Situated a few miles south of Puerto Vallarta proper, this sunny hangout is also known as “Blue Chair Beach,” a nickname referring to the gay-owned Blue Chairs Resort sitting on the shore. The furniture set out by the hotel marks the cruisy section of the beach. Blue Chairs also offers sunbathers free Wi-Fi—perfect for checking Grindr or Scruff. The water itself is a little too strong for swimming, but the real draw is the crowd, not the surf.
2. Playa Condesa, Acapulco
While the huge resorts of Cancun and Los Cabos have made Acapulco a less-attractive destination for tourists, the mix of Old Hollywood charm and thriving nightlife make Acapulco—one of Mexico’s original resort towns—a great stop for any gay traveler. Playa Condesa is one of Acapulco’s busiest beaches, so cruising is discrete. Some have complained about “queers strutting about,” but this beach caters more toward the local gay scene, not tourists. Keep on strutting, guys.
3. Playa Delfines, Cancun
The sands of Delfines may not be picturesque white, but that’s more of a perk than a flaw—it’s one of the quieter beaches Cancun has to offer. Take a short hike south and stumble across Mayan ruins, or hang with the touristy gay crowd. The strong undertow makes swimming dangerous, but the water offers some great surfing opportunities.
4. Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca
Located in Southern Mexico right where the coastline bends east, this tropical spot is miles away from overcrowded resort towns. Better known to Mexican weekend warriors than international travelers, it’s a popular getaway for gays across the country. The beach is a humid half-hour walk from Puerto Angel, the nearest city, but this clothing-optional and secluded spot is worth the determination and sweat. Zipolite and Puerto Angel both offer gay-friendly accommodations, great seafood and a number of quality cafés.
5. Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo
Of all of the country’s areas, the Yucatan peninsula has the strongest connection to Mexico’s pre-Columbian past. (The Mayan language is even spoken by a fair share of the population.) Playa del Carmen is known for its relaxed attitude toward gays and lesbians, an artistic vibe and cruisy beaches. The island of Cozumel, just off the coast of Quintana, sports some of the best scuba diving in the world, but if wetsuits aren’t your thing, you can always swim in the buff.

How To Check A Bag For Free The Huffington Post By Carly Ledbette
How To Check A Bag For Free
The Huffington Post | By Carly Ledbetter
Posted: Updated:
These days, it seems like airlines are doing everything in their power to add more fees onto a simple plane ticket. In 2013 alone, U.S. airlines earned an estimated $3.35 billion in checked baggage fees. Luckily, we've found a few ways to get around them.
Fliers with a ton of mileage, points or status can usually secure checked bags for free, but if you fly Southwest or JetBlue you can always check your first bag for free. And, depending on location, "regular" travelers can get a free checked bag if they're going to Central America, Europe or on certain transatlantic or transpacific flights.
Without further ado, here's how to get your checked luggage for free on six major airlines:
1. Southwest
We can't say it enough -- FLY SOUTHWEST if you have a lot of baggage. Southwest's luggage slogan is "Bags fly free," and they really mean it: all first and second checked bags are free, including golf bags and skis. Just make sure bags are theright size and at the required weight limit.
2. JetBlue
At JetBlue, you can check your first bag for free -- just make sure it's the right size, weight and not a box on international flights. Sounds easy enough.
3. Delta Air Lines
Typically, traveling from the United States or Canada to the Caribbean or Central America means you'll spend about $25 on your first checked bag. If you really want to get out of that $25, Basic Card Members with a Gold, Platinum or Reserve Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express can waive their first checked bag fee on all Delta flights. The best part? It applies to EVERYONE in your reservation (up to nine people).
But if you're flying to South America, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, China or Japan, the first checked bag is generally free already.
4. United Airlines
Again -- status is key. Those who are MileagePlus or Presidential Plus members can get up to two checked bags for free (plus two for a companion). MileagePlus Explorer Card members (or those with certain Chase credit cards) can get their first bag -- and a guest’s! -- checked for free, too. In order to avoid confusion with certain flight itineraries or locations, United provides this handy website where you can just type in your flight number and see if you get your bag for free.
5. American Airlines
If you have AAdvantage elite status, you can get checked bags free (up to three, if you're Executive Platinum). The same offer applies to passengers in first or business class.
If you're in economy, the first checked bag is free on flights to/from spots including Europe, China and South America. For specific travel plans, check with American'sworldwide reservation phone numbers to see if you can get your first bag for free.
6. US Airways
Passengers who are US Airways MasterCard or Visa card members can all check their first bag for free on domestic flights, in addition to four people in their reservation.
Since US Airways merged with American, their checked baggage policies have “aligned” -- the first bag is free on all flights to Brazil, South America and those to transatlantic or transpacific locations. If you're going to certain locations in Mexico, the Caribbean or Central America, your first checked bag might also be free.
