I've been saying for years that anyone who actually goes to Mexico willingly is an idiot.

Cancun is on the other side from Baja...

Didn't you do a fishing trip to Baja, or am I confusing you with someone else?

He went to Cabo twice.

Hell, it's the roofies and poisoned alcohol I would worry about now.

How is jamis allowed to take vacations? Does he take the APS hamster wheel with him?

We used to go to Acapulco in the '70's. I wouldn't go to Mexico if it was a free trip with 10 grand in spending money.

My wife's cousin (native to her country in South America) is a professor at some university in Mexico City. A couple of years ago he sold his condominium and moved to a different one because his old one (which was in an up-scale neighborhood) wasn't safe any more. Before my wife died, he told us it was "relatively" safe for her to visit, because she's (was) a Latina and her Spanish shows it, but that under NO circumstances was I to even think about going to Mexico.

Not that I would have considered it anyway, but it was good (??) to have confirmation.

I have a fb friend that lives in Cozumel. She says its fake news. Nothing out of the unusual on that side.

The Cancun and Cozumel area have seen an increase in violent crime, but the area is still pretty safe compared to other parts of Mexico. Most of the drug-related crime is kept out of the tourist areas to keep the tourist dollars flowing.

I can't argue with that - and I remember when the social club at my employer used to organize weekend bus trips for shopping & sightseeing to Nuevo Laredo. (They quit doing that years ago.)

And it's not just Mexico - I'm glad I made my safari to Zimbabwe before Mugabe went completely off the rails. I wouldn't even want to transfer at the Harare airport today.

Hmm. My wife and I are taking a cruise Christmas week from LA to Mexico through Costco Travel. I cannot recall the exact itinerary, but I hope that Costco sticks to the typical tourist cruise destinations.

I call dibs on any of Millcreek's good stuff when he doesn't come back.

Dammit, he beat me to it. Oh well, I call dibs on any of Millcreek's stuff that RocketMan doesn't want, when Millcreek fails to return from Mexico.

You would think as the APS Risk Manger he would examine the stories of 100,000 gallons of poisoned alcohol, along with the rapes, murders, rapes, etc. that he would wave off and go to somewhere less deathy and rapey.

But hey, new-to-me stuff, is new-to-me stuff....

The Risk Manger has a wife. I have a feeling that when wife wants a tropical cruise, the Risk Manger must weigh the risk of offending wife against potential deathy and rapey vacation locations... and offending wife is the higher risk.

Lots of other less deathy and rapey places to take a cruise and go shopping.

He went to Cabo twice.

Last time I looked, Cabo was still on the Baja peninsula.

Sorry guys, those of us West of the Rockies get first dibs on Millcreek's stuff, since we'll get there first.

Yes. And I was just in Cancun this spring. Cancun is on the Eest coast of Mexcio, on the Yucutan Peninsula. Cabo is at the tip of the Baja, on the West side of Mexico.
I've been both places.
