That’s why we don’t travel to/vacay in Meheeco.
Know of several who’ve had to have HORRID emergency medical treatments, there. (All different types of emergencies....randing from appendicitis to a sinus rupture....different ages....different decades.)
You never know when a medical emergency may hit....and, Mexico is one of the last places we’d want to be, if so.
That’s why we don’t travel to/vacay in Meheeco.!”
After our sons finished college or trade school, we would buy an extra weeks of a Mexican timeshare at Thanksgiving, the week after Christmas and during a spring break.
We took Bactrim before, during and after our trips. We were treated very well.
Then, we started seeing really young Mexican guys with military rifles at the airports, hotels, and just walking around in a daze with their military rifles.
Our last trip was a wake up call. The young men with guns were everywhere and seemed very tense. One of our stops had the trips ashore cancelled. It was freezing in Mexico and people were in masses trying to buy blankets from a Walmart just off the pier.
Then, the ship went to Cabo and opted to go whale watching. We went into an enclosed walkway from the dock to walk to where the whale watching boat was. It was scary with hordes natives outside the enclosed walkway begging for money.
The whale watching was great for an hour or so, and the CO of the whale watching boat got a radio message to meet our ship ASAP at sea and not the normal dock/wharf.
That was interesting, after we were safely on the ship, I asked to see the Captain as the ship was all ahead flank heading north back to the states. I was escorted to the bridge and the Captain handed me a message from our state depart/embassy in Mexico advising all ships to leave the Mexican waters. The ship’s radar looked we were in the middle of an armada heading north.
There was no room for our ship at San Diego, and it pulled into the LA port for that night and left for SF the next morning for an uneventful trip home.
When, we arrived in SF and were headed home.
My wife asked me if our aborted trip reminded me of when on active duty our Navy Ship was in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic. Our ship was on a liberty pleasure trip after weeks in Gitmo.
We got a flash warning to get all sailors back on the ship and get back to Gitmo. An ensign and a chief missed the ship, and the good Dominican Republic Coasties brought them out to sea and we got them back on the ship.
