Re: Is Mexico for vacation safe at all???
My parents and our family went Nov 1-8 to Cancun/Playa Del Carmen area and we were fine. I felt completely safe the entire time, had no worries at all. The kids went with us, too. We basically stayed on our resort most of the time, but did go to some of the ruins (via tour bus from our resort) and went into Playa to shop one afternoon. Go, have fun!
Oh, my parents have a timeshare, so one of the salesman said this to us about the drug wars.... "Do you plan on doing a lot of cocaine while you're here? No? Well then you'll be fine."

this is funny to me for some reason...like- yeah- don't go to Monterrey or mexico city or tijuana...(it would be cheap, but probably not what you'd consider a vacation!)
cancun is cheap and very safe. and lovely.
I have a SIL who spent a lot of time there on business until recently. She spent about 2 weeks a month there for the last year and a half and worked at the office of a US company about 30 minutes outside Acapulco. Her company assigned a body guard to her until it got just too dangerous for her to be there at all. She has always said the resorts give a false sense of security to tourists andif they ever watched the real news channels rather than the resort channels, they would see just how dangerous it really is.
I've heard the same thing from people at DH's office who go there for 2 year ISP's. DH's company makes it mandatory that their employees have both a bodyguard and an armoured car when they work there. And their office is in a nicer area. The problem is, when andits are looking for people to ro, they target the areas where US citiens work and vacation so even those areas aren't safe.
