Subject: Is Mexico Dangerous to Visit? Posted on: Fri, 19 May 2006 23:07:01 -0400

Hello,

We were considering going to the Riviera Maya for vacation, but were
concerned about Mexico being too dangerous. After reading the
Consular Information sheet for Mexico, it said some really scary
things. It would seem that you can't even trust the police in Mexico.

We just wamting to go to a nice resort and not have to worry about
anything. I would hate to have to go down there and then worry that
someone is going to break into our hotel room with guns and rob us
taking everything we have. And would we have to worry about getting
robbed on the beach? There seem to be so many nice resorts in the
Riviera Maya area. So, I'd hate to think that if we stayed at a nice
resort we would have to worry about someone breaking into our hotel
room and getting robbed. But, someone needs to tell me that it's safe
down there.

I'll admit that I'm not a worldwide traveler. I've been to Hawaii,
I've been to Grenada, the Virgin Islands, and to most states east of
the Mississippi and also to most of Canada. But, I've never been to
anywhere in Mexico or Latin America.

But, I hope Mexico isn't too dangerous to visit. We've always wanted
to visit but were afraid of the crime. So, if anyone has some more
insight on this, that would be great.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Chris
