MORE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ASKED BY PARENTS ATTENDING THE NAYCC 2009


ISSUE #1

We want to thank Mr. David Zeng for providing us with the link concerning the VISA requirements (if any), for parents with foreign passports that are not U.S. Passports, entering Mexico:

We applaude Mr. Zeng for this home run hit that simplified our life.


ISSUE #2

After speaking with the hotel a few minutes ago, they state there is no in-house hotel shuttle service from the airport to Olas Altas Inn. After inquiring about the cost of a taxi, from the airport, I was told it is about $250 to $300 pesos - yes, pesos not dollars. The rate of exchange is $12.00 pesos for one $1 U.S. dollar. This morning in Mexico as I was by the international bridge in Acuna, across from Del Rio, Texas, I saw it at $13.00 pesos for $1.00 U.S. dollar, but the excahnge rate is always higher in the border region because of the enormous financial transactions conducted in both countries.


ISSUE #3

The cancellation policy. If it is 72-hours prior to the event, no penalty whatsoever. If you wait 24-hours before your arrival, the penalty will be the cost of one night stay.



NEW ISSUES
I learned this from my wife's account in the 2008 Pan American Youth Championship. IF THEIR IS A SPECIAL DIET THAT YOU REQUIRE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW NOW. Mexico is a meat-based diet; therefore, if their are any dietary conditions that are need, let me have them now via email.
Any more questions lets ask them now so that I may find proper answers to all of the them :)
