getting married.</p>
<p><strong>Travis: </strong>Well, actually not my brother. My
  cousin is getting married. On my father's
  side of the family, I have quite a few
  cousins and quite a few uncles and aunts.
  My dad is one of eight children, so we've always been very close
  and basically we've been a nuclear family around my
  grandparents of my dad's side. So my cousin Brian, is going to be
  getting married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and I think that wedding
is taking place about August 9th.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Oh, wow.</p>
<p><strong>Travis: </strong>So we are going to.. be going out there as a family.
  Hopefully, maybe we'll have as many as forty of us and whoever
  the bride invites and we'll be on the beach for about 3 or 4 days.
And have a wedding of Saturday so it should be pretty exciting.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Mexico, that's an interesting choice. I mean, that's pretty
  far away.</p>
<p><strong>Travis: </strong>It is pretty far away so it should be kind of expensive for
  all the guests to get there which might be planned on my cousin's
  side because he might be trying to limit how many people who
  come to his wedding so it won't get to overly large. And Mexico is
  actually cheaper to have a wedding than the United States
  because the power of the dollar versus the power of the peso is
  you know, quite strong so you can go down to Mexico and for
  maybe a third the price have the same lavish wedding you might
  have in the United States, though Puerto Vallarta might be a little
  more expensive than a normal Mexican wedding because Puerto
Vallarta is sort of a tourist and resort community.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Have you been to Puerto Vallarta before?</p>
<p><strong>Travis: </strong>I've never been there before. In fact, even though I am
  from Southern California and from Los Angeles basically, which is
only two hours from Mexico, I've never been to Mexico.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> I'm from San Francisco and even I've been to Mexico.</p>
<p><strong>Travis: </strong>Well, Tijuana is a place everybody goes to and it's never
had any big appeal for me. Typically, southern Californians will go there as soon they turn 18 because at 18 you can drink in Tijuana
and you can't drink in California when you're 18. You have to wait
until you are 21, so that's a big reason to go I suppose but I never
made it down there.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Well, I'm sure you'll enjoy Mexico.</p>
<p><strong>Travis: </strong>I'm sure I will.</p></div>]]>
