Re: Different..? what'd think

I guess more than pictures I would like to see a map like the one below and then you could highlight your two regions and when visitors click they can be taken to that page. Really for me ...I like to know where I am in relation to other places...like Mexico City or Cancun or Puerto Vallarta..places you here of all the time...does that help or am I being too picky...

Re: Different..? what'd think

not too home made? I am thing about losing the gaps 'tween the link buttons on itineraries so I can add other things only on those pages. OR put buttons across top , IS the page for itin. tooooo long"?

Re: Different..? what'd think

Ok, then, FINE.
If the map was made just 20%(?) smaller, it could slide up the page a little and a little more to the right, which would give a left page border effect too.
>> Or---reverse the proportions....if the the T & C pictures were larger than the map, they would STILL be the focus of the page, and be the answer to the question/invitation you pose.....the map would still show reference that is legible, but does not supplant your core idea. __ YOUR CHOICE __

And, I would take out the "click to enter" prompt, and instead align your smaller T and C pix alongside the edge of the map.....to make the link more obvious, I would "color code" the Names on the map to be the same color as the links under each smaller picture - everyone can tell it's a link by being underlined (and I would double my efforts just to be safe by also linking each image just as the text link - for those that expect to link that way instead): people will be able to see the relationship much clearer, and it lightens up the page without so much visual "clutter"....can you see what I mean?

YES. Compact the menu. Adds to a much tighter, cleaner look. Remember to duplicate perfectly (keep in exact same place) on all pages for continuity.

On your Tobasco Main, the menu actually lays over the top picture.

Itinerary page. No, keep them: they are the last of the drill-in for this set of pages, and spells out initially how detailed and professional you are. However, you need to re-position your text areas narrower to fit properly on your page "borders" (I suggested you bring them in, and you went out instead! LOL) *Remember, people will scroll down happily when they are examining something they want to (took them how many clicks to get here? = interest), but scrolling sideways or seeing mish-mosh layouts are very no-no.

Anything more, my friend?

Here:
If the T and C pyramid pix were the same size as the waterfall is wide, they can "stack" alongside the map (which will have to be made smaller, and no taller than your 2 pictures....)

See the black line that runs from one pix to the edge of the map? Re-do this with color-coded lines to actually "point" to the location on the map, show you can "place" the location to the map....again, link the image and the text the same.

Honestly, Your map should not be larger thant the combined 2 location pictures...they are your core idea and draw. The map is only a convenience for reference, nothing more.....

Heading home now....you should too. Nighto!
