    I don't want to stay at any hotel in INDIANA, I sure wouldn't stay in the jungle of Mexico unless I was prepared to throw away or burn everything that left my property.

    Not sure what type of hotels you stay in, but zero issues with 60+ night in Hiltons last year (and I think 7-10 days in Marriott properties) around the midwest.

    Same here, if you stay in the major names you're good to go. Stay at Buddy and Sally's no tell motel. Not so much.

    I've learned if I get a King Suite it's higher odds of having a nice stay, even in the same chain. Much more likely to have quiet neighbors.

    If we are somewhere more than 3 days, we usually try to get an AirBnB or the equivalent.

    This place was one of the original hotels down there. I looked them up for fun and found that they are currently closed. Maybe they haven't paid their local "dues".

    I will not plan a vacation to a country that has current refugees.

    I have a beautiful wife, and all I have to show her is “blonde tourist walking in _____” videos to change her mind on a lot of places.

    I admit both of those are fairly ignorant generalizations but it’s not worth it to me when there are plenty of interesting places to travel elsewhere that have less risk of disappearing forever or worse.

    If you want to go to Mexico just go the the Edinburgh Outlet Mall on the weekend. Once I felt like the only Gringo in the place! Sam’s Club on Rockville road gets that way as well, you could be in Mexico, Haiti, Somalia or Africa, anywhere but Indiana.

    I was in Indianapolis visiting family and stopped at Oreilly auto parts. I heard no less than 5 languages while waiting in line. It was a Saturday morning. Spanish, African dialects I did not understand, but two distinct ones, Mandarin, and English. One cashier spoke Spanish another Mandarin. It felt weird.

    News outlets of every nature are reporting that the Mexican Drug Cartels are now targeting popular tourist cities and resorts in order to tap into the $30 Billion Dollar tourist industry. It used to be that the cartels had a code of hands off women and children and tourists; however, that is no longer the case. There are daily reports of cartel violence at places like Cancun where there are gun fights at or near the resorts and nobody is safe. Recently tourists have been robbed, raped, and shot at locations all over Mexico and their national press fails to report many of the incidents. Who in their right mind will go to Mexico on vacation at these targeted resorts and risk it? :dunno:

    Is this where you saw this?

    Popular resorts no longer ‘off limits’ for cartel killers: ‘The rules have changed’

    Four warring Mexican drug cartels indiscriminately kill to assert dominance over an 80-mile stretch of resorts along the Caribbean coast.

    I am looking at Belize before too much longer, though. I'd love to see the various ruins.

    I've got a couple of cousins that are down there frequently for weeks at a time on projects they are involved with. They love the place.

    Fun fact.... Lots of Mennonite folks in Belize.

    I hope you like heat and humidity!
