I am a fairly seasoned traveler courtesy of Uncle Sam's canoe club. Way too many other safer and cleaner places to visit for my $$$. One always has to be aware as a "tourist" your marked for easy bucks. "Hey Joes" exist every where. Mexico has never had a strong pull for me and lately with the crime, their attitudes towards us like we owe their illegals here something - not a chance.
Sand and fun - Bahamas, Virgin Islands, etc.
Countries in general I had a great time or a lot of fun in - Greece, Spain, Palma de Mallorca, Singapore and England
