Tons of people travel to Mexico every day with no problems, the trick is to stay in the secured zones and not wander off.
Thanks, I have told her that as well. Most of her stay wibe with the wedding group, so she should be safe. I have told her not to wander off...not to Starbucks, not to a CVS, etc. , stay at hotel and stay with the group.
Wedding is to be in a beautiful church, reception in a palace-type venue, so I am hopeful it will be a wonderful experience if she is mindful of where she is....etc.
Again, I am looking for any common-sense travel guides or blogs that will provide salient, insightful info on Mexico City.
One of the best places for Americans and others to visit or live in Mexico, is the Lake Chapala/ajijic area (State of Jalisco), about a 30 to 40 minutes drive from the airport at Guadalahara. Many ex-pats there, beautiful scenery, high and dry with excellent restaurants, etc. Been there three times and it was paradise. It’s really the only place I would go.
