Some people just have all the fun....
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I've never had a problem in Mexico, mainland or on Cozumel. Downtown Orlando....now THERE is a scary place!

My name is Shirley Kasser Creech and I approve this message. Well, at least one of me does, anyway. Maybe. Fire. Sharp things. Squirrel!
Shirley you're not serious? No, I'm not, but do stop calling me Shirley.
ya think downtown is scary.............try the Wild Wild West in Pine{crime} Hills, where if you drive at nite your windows better be bullet proof ! Eatonville & Sanford are worse !Originally Posted by sskasser
Mexico or anywhere outside of the USA or Canada I have no desire to explore. There are places here in our country I have not even seen yet ! & Caves galore !
keep your dollars at home..dive locally...travel in conus..The US economy is in trouble and we can support it by not spending our $ ouside the USA.
+1!
Just spent a week diving the cenotes between Playa and Tulum and yeah, there is a lot more police presence and checkpoints. We never ran into any trouble. Cab prices vary significantly between drivers and you'd better have some pesos as well as USD.
I spent two weeks down there. I had absolutely no trouble and everybody that I ran into were very friendly. It's amazing what a smile and trying to speak the native tongue will do. I felt safer in Tulum than I have in some US cities.
I travel regularly to Mexico and have nothing but good experiences.
another wise thought. I always try to spend my dollars with my friends and other companies that have treated me well.
As far as corruption goes its everywhere. I witnessed it Mexico, and its worse there because it's not America. An we are a land of laws. However, then again have been shacked down in LA, New Orleans and other places. I even had a Texas State trooper who after seaching my rent-a-wreck and not finding nothing made me sing "yellow rose of texas" I said "excuse me officer?" He then said slowly and carefully so I'd understand while he leaned on his gun "I want you to sing The Yellow Rose of Texas" I said " Sorry Sir I don't know it" He replied "Well boy then I'll teach it to you". So there is was along the side of the road singing Yellow Rose of Texas while a mirror sungglassed Trooper tapped his foot for rythumn. Must be my guilty looking face.
