can you show her pictures of the resort, and have her talk to other people that have been there? talk to a travel agent maybe - an unbiased 3rd party? paul's dad was like this a little bit - he has really only been to Ireland and the US. he thought Mexico was dirty and dangerous. well, i'd say out of everyone - HE had the best time! in every picture i see he's laughing, running around, he had a blast! hmmm - want his phone #? lol will simple begging and pleading work? you know once she gets there, she'll love it!
