We do the same thing, Cass. We go to Mexico for eye glasses , exams, and dental work our insurance doesn't cover. It's cheaper for me to drive to the border, get a hotel room for the night, get our work done, and come home than it is to get the service done here. I did an article on it, probably the most popular video on our site: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/AYQIBo

Mexico has a surprisingly good (and cheap!) dental system. I don't have any benefits with my job in Canada so seeing a Toronto dentist was out of the question for me. When I went to visit my sister in Mexico last summer she suggested seeing a dentist in Mexico City. I was more than a little hesitant at first but after meeting the Dr. and recognizing the clean professionalism in the office I went for it. She found two cavities and scheduled me right in the next day to fill them. Everything (including consultation, cleaning and the fillings) cost only 500 pesos, which is like $50 Cdn. I'm glad I went for it.

"In the wake of the 2010 Bedbug Epidemic the number of bedbug reports for 2011 (January 1—September 1) shattered 2010 totals by more than 660%." That's from a Raveable.com survey.

How can hotels put an end to this p.r. disaster in a cost-effective way?
