Wondering how the state of the Canadian dollar will effect other Canadians travel plans. It has made our site rental jump from $3,200 American to a payment of $4,022.60 Canadian. ouch!

Once you get to south Texas most costs should be about 30% to 40+% lower than Canada so your biggest costs will be travel insurance and getting there...
....you bet. Excellent point. Once you net-out all your "major" expenses, the "Canadian" may be surprised (positively).
I always recall the cost of living in Mexico (from back in the very early '90s). Any "luxury" items (ie. any processed foods imported into Mexico; electronics equipment; tires; auto parts; the cost of telephone calls; the cost of electricity) were VERY high. MUCH more expensive than equivalents in USA or Canada. However, the cost of medical care was very, very reasonable, and health/accident insurance was very cheap for a Canadian working/living in Mexico...
