I figure we give enough money to Mexico as it is; I don’t need to go there as well and spend money. Screw that.

not safe for cartel enemies

It is nearly impossible for a law abiding citizen to own a legal gun in Mexico

Yeah, I thought Orlando was too.

I went to Acapulco in the mid 2000’s and had a blast. Before the Cartel
Wars, it’s now the most violent major city.

If you stay at a nice hotel/resort it will have a dedicated cab stand. Use them exclusively; find a driver you like/trust and demand them; and arrange for that driver to pick you up at an arranged time. (Tip well, obviously.)

The second day by chance my girlfriend and I got a ride from a cabi that was a retired Mexican marine. He was educated, spoke fluent English, stood my height (6’-3”) and roughly my build (230#). We insisted on riding with him the entire week, to the great consternation of the other cabi’s at the cab stand. He even steered us to the best meal we had there.

The only sign they'll see of these folks in the future is pieces.

Kidnap, torture, kill, dispose.

They just didn't want a worldwide news incident on their home turf so they took it outside.

A trip to Cancun many years ago just about killed me.

Just read they were part of a rival drug gang not tourists.

If you go to Mexico you are officially insane.
