There aren't many cities in the entire world that are larger than Mexico City. The City is situated in the valley of Mexico and with over 19 million people it is the second largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere. It is located on top of a high plateau at about 7,349 feet (2,240m) above sea level. The place where the city rests was once Lake Texcoco. It seems to be a city of extremes and a dynamic place to visit. You don't find anywhere else a city with all the contrasts that has Mexico City. I can imagine every human flying the first time over Mexico City is impressed of the size of that huge City.
Besides all the problems Mexico City has most vacationers to Mexico City are fascinated with the history of the city itself and of the circumstances in which the city was born. The Aztecs founded Mexico City in the year 1325 on a small island in the middle of Lake Texcoco. In order for it to continue to grow, the small island had to be enlarged artificially. The city came under siege by the Spaniards 200 years later and was almost completely destroyed. The Spaniards then rebuilt the city according to their designs, which is mostly what you see today in the old section of the town.
There are many tours that can be taken in which the history, architecture, and culture of the city are highlighted. There are Aztec ruins to behold. Chapultepec Castle where the Halls of Montezuma of Marine Corps lore are located, and even an iconic landmark the Angel of Independence, which was modeled after the Champs-Elysees by Emperor Maximilian of Mexico.
Another popular tourist activity to pursue in Mexico City is to visit several of the over 150 museums. They range in scope from anthropological to modern art and while they vary in price, they are all reasonably affordable. The Museo Nacional de Antropologia has an extensive collection of ancient artifacts and is on of the finest and largest anthropological museums in the world. The Museo Nacional de Arte has exhibits that mostly feature Mexican artists. And the Museo Nacional de Historia recounts the history of Mexico and Mexico City inside the walls of the famed Chapultepec Castle.
The City has almost for every taste interest something to offer. Recently you can travel by sightseeing buses through the city and enjoy everything from the top. With the bus tours you can stay where ever you like and jump later on to finish the tour. There are lots of bus stops where you can walk and enjoy the beauty of this extraordinary city.
There are also many different types of sporting events that can be attended in and around Mexico City. Football or soccer as it is called in the United States is the most popular sport with stadiums that can seat over 105,000 fans. Mexico City is home to 4 major professional teams and countless youth teams. The next most popular sport to attend in Mexico City is baseball. Their team is the Red Devils and you will find a very exuberant group of spectators at all of their games.
Being the largest city in Mexico, Mexico City has the most active nightlife scene in all Mexican cities. There are almost endless choices of music and dance clubs available from Mariachi music and Flamenco to jazz and salsa clubs. Most venues don't begin the party until 10 PM or so and participants dance away until the wee hours of the morning.
It doesn't matter what your interests are -- history and culture of Mexico or you just want to kick up your heels all night long. Mexico City can provide the kind of dynamic vacation experience that no other city can. And I think over twenty million people can't be wrong.
Regards,
Anton

Anton Enjoys Travel - A Few Important Tips when Starting Your Vacation or When travel by plane
Its travel season and we have everything ready for our vacation and we are anxious to start our trip to our well earned vacation. If you have your travel destination outside your country, or if you travel by car, or if you just want a getaway over the weekend, these tips can save you sometimes a lot of trouble or time.
Some tips are for fliers and some are for travelers in general. So, don't worries you can use them and please write them down for any emergency you might have in the near future.
Remember it's always good to have some phone-numbers especially from airlines you are flying with.
When using credit cards have at least the most important phone-numbers from your credit institution (lost and stolen), it can safe you a lot of trouble.
The same is valid for Rental cars, when using rental cars it is of utmost importance that you write down the phone number of your rental company. In case that the papers get stolen at least you can call up the company and tell them about the misfortune and what you should do in such a case.
When flying to destination outside your country or for national flights the information above will be of great value to you.
......Be Aware of Your Surroundings
The next time you are in an airport or on an aircraft, take notice of your surroundings, especially of activities or situations that do not appear to be normal.
......Report Unusual Activity
If you see anything in the airport, or on an aircraft that looks out of place or otherwise inappropriate, such as unusual behavior or potential security violations, inform either a law enforcement representative or someone in authority at the particular airport.
......Make No Assumptions About Who May Pose a Threat
If someone is intent on perpetrating violent acts against the air transport system, that person can be of any age, gender, or nationality. You should not assume that any particular type of person is likely to do harm simply because of outward appearances.
......Stay Away from Suspicious Circumstances
In case you encounter a potential hazard in the airport, move away from the situation before contacting someone of the authority. If necessary, warn others in the vicinity. Examples of potential hazards include unaccompanied packages, suspicious behavior of passengers, or any unusual movement.
......Keep Your Seat Belt Fastened While You are Seated
Keeping the belt on when you are seated provides that extra protection you might need if the plane hits unexpected turbulence of if the aircraft is put through unusual maneuvers.
......Listen to the Flight Attendants
The primary reason flight attendants are on an aircraft is for safety, so if there is any kind of emergency or potential emergency situation, look to the flight attendants for guidance.
......Become Familiar with Your Aircraft If You Are Not A
Frequent Flyer
When you are first seated, review the written safety instructions, count the number of rows to the nearest exits and check to see if there are seat-back telephones available.
......Remember the Basic Rules for Wireless Devices And Cell
Phones
Cell phones, pagers, and other wireless communications devices may be used until the passenger entry doors are closed prior to takeoff.
Do not use these devices for routine communications until the passenger doors are opened at the end of the flight.
These regulations vary from airline to airline; American airlines allow you to use your cell-phone before they are at the terminal and before they are open the doors;
Mexican airlines do not allow the use of the cell-phone before they open the door of the airplane;
The Rules vary around the world from country to country and from airline to airline;
In order to avoid you problems just listen to the announcement in the plane they'll tell you when you can use the cell-phone or other devices.
......Have always a Plan for the Emergency Use of a Wireless
Equipment or Phone
In the event of an in-flight emergency, you should take stock of the situation before using any communications device, including the aircraft's seat-back telephones.
If the situation demands it, use your cell phone or other personal wireless device to contact someone who can help. Have always important phone numbers available before you travel because you never know when you need them.
......Work As A Group
Every situation on the aircraft with the potential for danger, do not act by your own it is usually better to share information with crew members and the other passengers and to work together.
Never try to be a hero;
Individual action, either during a normal emergency or other unforeseen threat to the aircraft, is less effective than a coordinated group action.

Romantic-Travel Or How To Regain Your Partner's Love?
If you are considering a run-away for a few days...or you like a week-getaway...
Sacramento is a great city for couples to visit, especially those who are more interested in the history of the area, but there are activities for those who may not be into going to museums and historical places.
If you find for your romantic travel the beach and the beautiful and colored sunset a place to be than you should go to the Caribbean or Mexican beach. You can lounge the whole day under the sun and at night you can visit a nice romantic restaurant and have dinner with candle light.
At this hour of the night you still have energy which you refilled after a lazy and relaxing day you can go to the Disco for a few hours dance.
The next day you can book a sight-seeing tour and get in contact with the native people and at noon you might have a lunch at the beach outside of town. At these places you can have the best prepared fresh fish they have caught a few hours before and I tell you this is an experience you always remember.
When you make a romantic travel it is of great importance to make a list of all the dreams you both have and how you want to share them together. In that case, you must make a conscious effort to share more good times and fulfill your dreams with your partner and your travel will be of a great success.
When traveling with your partner how you do know which senses you should focus on?
If they work to create the kind of romance your partner appreciates, then I believe you have what it takes to increase the power of your sixth sense, far beyond touch, taste, sight, smell and sound.
Getting away from all the hustle and bustle and finding the time to spend with your loved one is a great way to rekindle the romance between you and your partner.
You should always remember while planning a romantic getaway together, you and your partner should be prepared to make some concessions to the other person's likes and dislikes.
A romantic travel can be to get over some difficulties or misunderstandings you might have had with your partner during the last few weeks or days...
You wish that the escape will serve for your spiritual growth and that beautiful things com to fruition.
You just like to relax and having fun with your partner
Or your love life needs a quick boost
What ever the reasons are do it in the way to maintain or regain the romantic relationship you enjoy with your partner.
In today's society with all the hustle and bustle in our daily life more and more people loose this romantic touch after living months with their partners together.
I ask you are it worth living without a romantic relationship, having day out and day in problems which gives you only more stress and insurmountable obstacles.
I know it from my own experience and the amount of work one have you forget easy this romantic touch and that being close together because one walks on a path without feeling that the partner is falling way behind and suddenly you can't see him anymore.
You are trapped in so much other stuff that you slowly forget certain habits. In that moment you should start to do something about it before the distance between you and your partner is too big.
Think about it and tell me what your opinion is...
Regards
Anton
P.S. Always remember don't let grow the distance between you and your partner to big
