Luggage in Mexico? Posted on: 26 Dec 2003 14:43:55 GMT

Hi All,

Thanks everyone for your advice so far!
One final request, I am staying in midrange hotels (Hotel Catedral in DF,
Colonial in Puebla, etc) and travelling around on first class bess for
about a month in Mexico. I've never been to Mexico, but assumed that since
I was doing minimal carrying of luggage around a small suitcase and a
daypack would surfice for luggage. I can comfortable carry the suitcase or
wheel it if need be.
I've just been advised by some people that I should go for a rucksack
(backpack) as walking around Mexican bus stations with a suitcase will be
like walking around with a target painted on my back for thieves. Can
anyone give me any advice on whether this is accurate? Will having a
backpack make a great difference to my personal security?
I'm going with two people, one of whom has a rucksack and the other has a
small suitcase.
As always, your advice is appreciated!

Thanks,
Randal
