You don’t need an armed guard.
You need a trustworthy driver.
She’ll be fine.
The important thing about international travel is to think about neighborhood you would not enter in USA.
They are they same worldwide.
Me?
I like backroads and alley restaurants but, that’s my thing and I’m comfortable with myself.
Your daughter will be fine.
This business about how crime ladden Mexico is has some merit but, so does every country south of Texas/California border...
Common sense rules and can keep you safe.
I will say I once spent $90 bucks to get to a certain place in south america when the military demanded money.
My driver freaked, I passed them their dumb money and when the driver pulled over to catch his breath, after we left sight of the military, I hugged him and started laughing.
Told him it was worth the money and lighten up.
He gave me a discount fare 10 days later when I called him.
Still think it was funny
Wasn’t Mexico. ..
Thanks for your thots, Vendome.
When my family used to drive thru Mexico when I was a teen, my dad would jiggle a pocket full of pesos and tip liberally. I remember at the border, he gave the guards bottles of liquor and tipped liberally and we were basically waived thru, whereas other families had their station wagons pulled apart—seriously, seats removed, etc...So I do know the value of tipping. I hope the limo driver is dependable...As the bride’s family lives there, I would think they vetted the company—hired to transport all the out-of-town guest to and from various venues and events during the week. She will be others in the limo/shuttle when being transported to various events.
I FB’d the bride about some of my concerns and she followed up with several phone calls, texts and emails regarding details, so I am feeling somewhat better.
My daughter did add your phone app, Word Lens, and he found a verbal translator as well. Thanks, again, for all your useful information.
