WHO WANTS TO GO TO MEXICO FOR A VACATION

[bgcatty]

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?

People fall for marketing.

And to get there one must get on a giant tube of death…

I once knew a woman that wanted to see the "real" Mexico and went into a the smaller towns for vacation. She
seen the "real" Mexico and got robbed of her purse.

No desire to go to that **** hole unless it is for shooting dynamic targets.

Or West Washington here in Indy. Last time I drove through there I think I could count the number of signs in English on one hand.

I don't even see how Mexico has a population left based on what are here in indiana alone.

Well ever since Biden was elected, it seems that Mexico is coming to us.

I have been living in Mexiana for 40 years.

I have no desire to go the resorts because I don't get the fun of resorts. I can sit on a beach and drink myself stupid much closer to home if that's my thing, and that seems to be what people report doing at the resorts.

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

I found an all inclusive in the jungle that does day trips to various ruins and natural features. I'm still in research phase so far, though.

As our uncle Joe would say, come on man, your friends and co-workers won't be impressed by telling them you got stupid drunk in Florida?

I was in my Land Rover in 2015,and a gas station I pulled into had been taken over by the cartel. They only accepted cash and the 50 I gave them(as the guy with the AK was standing behind my truck after he came around the building...and 3 of his armed friends appeared close by) got me about 5 gallons of gas. The guy demanding I pay in cash and stay in the vehicle was polite and spoke perfect English.

Your mileage may vary. It was maybe 2 miles outside of Monterrey on my way back to Texas.

 

[COOPADUP]

I have fond memories of Cancun before the cartels decided to capitalize on the touristas.

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.
