I have been SERIOUSLY considering taking the family down there in the Fall and have been within a click of booking airfare... I have really not thought much about it being so unsafe that I need to start looking elsewhere.....
The wife and I went to Cancun last year for a trip she won. As soon as I stepped off the plane and gave them my passport the lady started tearing pages and told me it was invalid because of the damage and that I couldn't enter the country. When I asked to talk to her supervisor he actually tore another page in front of me and told me he'd do me a favor and let me proceed on my vacation for 200 dollars. The entire time they kept trying to convince my wife to go on without me.

Never again.

At the resort her company was great about the entire thing. They reimbursed us and made copies of my passport to email back to the states just in case. One of the CEO's had gotten stopped and shook down for 50 bucks because his TAXI DRIVER was speeding.

Wow, when I go to Mexico, people could not be friendlier and more accomodating. Very odd. I schedule my transportation ahead from the airport to ferry for $12 a person and it could not be more professional. Cancun for most tourists is really just one street that has no locals and little other than resorts. Where my parents live is an island and could not be safer.

People have different tolerences for safety. Some don't feel safe walking around NYC at 2:00 AM, so I can understand. Heck, I am going to Columbia, so maybe I am not the one to ask.

Let's not forget that Mexico has 20 million people and if you added that up between Detriot, Los Angeles, NYC, Washington DC, Houston, that amount killings annually might not be that far apart. Maybe it is? Would be curious to know.
