Everyone seems to be traveling to Mexico lately. It makes sense that there are fewer trips to Europe with the dollar being worth only 0.65 euros.

You can take your cell phone with you pretty easily, but be sure to call your provider and be clear on your options. Otherwise, you could come home to a thousand dollar phone bill. Oh, and heads up, you usually have charges for all calls that ring your phone... whether you answer them or not.

Some choices:

• Forward your calls
• Get a SIM card in Mexico
• Get a prepaid phone in Mexico

Your best option depends on how long you plan on being there. For me, prepaid phones are for longer stays. They're easy to get and, if you have a fabulous phone you're afraid to loose, you can leave it safe at home.

Anyway, happy travels.
