We need to find a way to cause a war between ISIS, and the cartels.

Just spent two weeks in San José del Cabo and felt safe the entire trip. This is being blown out of proportion


Yep. And we are going back to Cabo in June for 2 weeks.

New Orleans isn't too much different. Just keep your head on a swivel.

Yep.
My first two trips were on company paid trips for conferences. Cabo and then Acapulco(sp).
Pretty much everything I wanted was included and anything that wasn't got put on a fellow business owners credit card. Millionaire business owners were passing out cigars like they were miller lights all day and night. We were eating at great restaurants at the resorts and up on cliff top restaurants looking over the towns.
Golfing and snorkeling were awesome.

Also went back for a friends wedding in Playa Del Carmen. Had a blast with 20 or so friends.
The worst thing that ever happened to me on either trip was a traffic cop blew his whistle on me and told me I couldn't ride the bicycle on the street in downtown Playa.

I mean, I know they can't compare to Gulfshores and Destin, but I thought the trips were pretty good.

Was just there in February. The pickups with rifle-toting young policemen seemed a bit ominous.


I was there probably 3 years ago and they were along the highway so nothing new

Anyone who travels anywhere in Mexico and who doesn't have kidnapping insurance is a moron. They won't kill you if you are insured they will beat the shite out of you but they won't kill you because you are a payday to them.

Cancun, Cabo, Isla Mujeres, etc are now getting encroached upon and the Mexican government continues to weaken in this destabilized failed state. Really sad.

I haven't read much in the news lately. Have a lot of Americans been getting kidnapped lately in Mexico?

Anybody that vacations anywhere in Mexico is trash. It is the only foreign destination with nice beaches that they can afford. Middle class to lower middle class demographic. For this demographic, you have Cabo, Cancun, Cozumel, Jamaica, and the DR. All are playgrounds of poor trash who want to say they have been somewhere other than PCB.


you do know Cozumel is one of the top diving locations in the world right? are you an idiot?

Bunch of narrow minded, ignorant rednecks on this thread who probably live/work closer to more homicide scenes in their violent southern cities than people in the Rivera Maya, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta etc. do.

I wouldn't say they're trashy, but it does seem foolish to vacation in a country that's in the midst of such violence it's practically a civil war.

Are you one of those adventure seekers who brag about vacationing in third world shitholes but never leave the all-inclusive resort?
