There are some good deals to be found. (Just got back from 5th trip in last year.)
Well, AAJetMan has me beat: I've done 5 trips to Mexico in 2 years. But I concur that USD is holding well against MXP. Even in Cancun and the Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen, Tulum).

I am always looking for somewhere else with good beaches, not necessarily heavily touristed or developed, where my $$ will go far. SE Asia would be a dream destination for me. How are values in Bali these days? Phu Quoc in Vietnam? Koh Phayam/Koh Chang in Thailand? Negombo in Sri Lanka? Good $$ strength + limited development = great value for money in my book...if I have the miles to get there
