Hey Erica! If the meetup spanned across a few days, @sharingeverybite and I would strongly consider coming. We've been learning Spanish for a while now and are very seriously talking about checking out Mexico as a place to live. In fact, today, we began the "get rid of unneeded stuff" process.

It sounds like you're wanting to learn Spanish - We have been using Pimsleur courses, and they are a great tool for learning to speak a new language. I'd highly recommend them!
