In trying to find information on damage caused in Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo by the 8.0 quake in 1985 I stumbled across this article. Some might find it interesting, including the prices. BTW, the $439 r/t airfare quoted in the article equates to $950 today.

Thanks for the walk back in time. I have been coming to Zihua since 1973 and can relate to most of the article.

It does bring memories as I was working in Mexico in 1985 and this earthquake was my first experience with a large earthquake...
