Casa Cupula, Luxury Gay Boutique Hotel, Welcomes Newlyweds With Unique Honeymoon and Wedding Offerings

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico--(Business Wire)--
With the advent of gay nuptials Monday in California, and
recognition of these weddings for New York State residents, Casa
Cupula in Puerto Vallarta is gearing up for a rush of happy, if long
delayed, honeymooners. As one of the leading gay and lesbian luxury
boutique hotel resorts in the world, Casa Cupula has already hosted a
number of gay honeymooners from Massachusetts and Canada.

   Ever since the fabled romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard
Burton here in 1961, Puerto Vallarta has symbolized the perfect
tropical honeymoon destination for straight couples. As the leading
international travel destination for gay and lesbian US tourists, it
is now poised to welcome gay honeymooners with open arms. As a recent
Casa Cupula guest opined in his online blog "I've never felt safer -
not even in San Francisco - to just be me. American cities could learn
a lot from the hospitality of Vallarta."
(http://midmodmusings.typepad.com/midmod_musings/2008/06/
free-to-be-in-pv.html) Many gay couples are also planning to hold a
formal, symbolic wedding ceremony in Vallarta with family, friends and
all the trimmings after doing the official work in California.

   "We think many gay newlyweds will prefer to stay in a gay and
lesbian resort where they are truly welcomed and comfortable," said
Don Pickens, founder and Principal of Milagro Properties. "With
gourmet food and beverage services and lots of beautiful event space,
we are committed to provide everything newlyweds want."

   Casa Cupula offers honeymoon packages ranging from the Celebration
Package at $190 USD (chilled bottle of Champagne, flowers, and locally
made gourmet Chocolates upon arrival) to the three night Cupula
Honeymoon Escape at $2195 (Champagne, Chocolate covered strawberries,
flowers, gourmet breakfast in bed each morning, romantic aromatherapy
candles, private dinner on the rooftop terrace, in-room couples
massage, and 3 nights in the Penthouse Suite). Wedding and reception
packages with all the trimmings can also be organized with group rates
for 8 to 40 guests.

   "It's fun to help our guests plan their special occasion," said
Sales Manager Krista Magnusson. "But the kinds of events our guests
are planning are as individual as they are. Since tradition isn't
always the guiding principal, we're focused on working with couples to
help them organize exactly what they want, whether it's a simple
ceremony on the beach, or in our private garden with sweeping views of
Banderas Bay, or a full-fledged white wedding with all the trimmings."

   As one of the world's finest resort hotels for gay men, lesbians
and friends, Casa Cupula has built a reputation since 2002 for
services and luxury equal to any mainstream 5 star resort. The Private
Residences at Casa Cupula offers a way to combine the best of both
worlds: hotel living with the benefits of vacation home ownership. For

New security restrictions could hurt airlines

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Tighter security measures at U.S. airports following an attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound jet could dampen enthusiasm for air travel, hurting the airline industry just as it seemed poised to recover from a period of bruising losses, some industry experts say.
