No need to travel to Mexico, it's alive and well within the DF'dub

I’ve read the same things he has and it surely made an impression on me.

No Country For Old Men - Cafe scene

I'm not leaving the USA....My buddy just came back from Belize, said it was cool. I still have no desire. I'd rather see my country from the road. Washington beaches suck and are dirty. Some day I'll see the east coast.

If someone asked me to recommend a non-beach destination in Mexico, it would be Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende.

I don’t care much for Mexico City. Have been many times. It’s not because of danger, but rather I’ve done all the touristy stuff years ago. Don’t care much for big congested cities like Mexico City or São Paulo Brazil. Because there are other places I would rather visit in those countries.

For major cities in Latin America, probably my two favorites are Santiago, Chile and Medellin, Colombia. Both are very safe. Just don’t do stupid stuff. Don’t do stupid stuff in Cleveland or any big USA city either.

There was talk about Detroit on here? The most dangerous thing about that city is boredom and lack of character. If you go looking for trouble, what you ought not to be doing, in any city, you can find it. Keep in mind that may lead to consequences.

That’s humorous but in no way accurate.

I go to MC all the time and I’ve only been kidnapped twice. Just pay the ransom and be on your way. The last time was sketchy though, I won’t go into details. I hope your daughter loves her visit, it’s too die for.

then your reading comprehension is about the same a tallgrass had, zero.

I suggest you go troll another thread, done with this one and your ignorance

Maybe more like Irving

The perception of most of the opinions here are based on no experience.

When you go past the chaos of the border everything changes. If you’re in Monterrey the only clue you’re not in the US is the billboards. My brother lives in Merida, great place to visit.

I still do work in Mexico. I’ll be going to Chihuahua and Puebla in a couple weeks. The only thing different now is I don’t drive across any more.

You are only on this earth for such a short time. It's her wish, you have told her the dangers, be proud of her courage, tell her to send lots of pics. I go to Mexico Bass Fishing every year and listen to all the naysayers say this and that, and don't get me wrong, I do worry when I see some federallies pull up with machine guns mounted in the back of a vehicle, I don't have daughters or grand daughters, only boys, so I would be nervous as you are, but let it be and be proud, like a proud dad of a girl who rides horses. I'm more affraid of riding a horse than I am driving 6 hours down into lower Mexico with a bass boat in tow.

I go to Cancun about 3 trips per year, I stay away from the Hotel Zone even though they do have the better beaches.

But there is usually a shooting on the public beach almost every trip I take there, something about rival drug gangs and territory.

Mexico is what it is, I like the place and food and the people, but it's still has lots of corruption

Remember that fishing guide on here who got kidnapped a few years ago guiding out of Sugar Lake?

If I did the Mexico bass trip, I would just fly in and use their boats and equipment

Put the danger aside. Mexico City can be dangerous, so just be careful where you stay and where you go out. Just know going to Mexico City and thinking you have seen Mexico at its best would be like going to New York City and believing you have seen America. There are so many other places to go in Mexico that offer more with far less crowds, pollution, traffic, and crime.
