Frommer's 2005 Mexico

David Baird is a writer, editor, and translator who doesn't much like writing about himself in the third person (too close to being an obituary). Texan by birth, Mexican by disposition, he has lived several years in different parts of Mexico. Now based in Austin, Texas, he spends as much time in Mexico as possible. At home his hobbies include painting, scraping, mowing, patching drywall, and extemporaneous engineering. For Lynne Bairstow, Mexico has become more home than her native United States. She has lived in Puerto Vallarta for most of the past 12 years. Her travel articles on Mexico have appeared in the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Frommer's Budget Travel magazine, and Alaska Airlines magazine. In 2000, Lynne was awarded the Pluma de Plata, a top honor granted by the Mexican government to foreign writers, for her work in the Frommer's guidebook to Puerto Vallarta.Bairstow, Lynne is the author of 'Frommer's 2005 Mexico', published 2004 under ISBN 9780764567636 and ISBN 0764567632.
