Why anyone would want to even visit this turd-world hellhole is beyond me.

I'd as soon take a trip to Iraq and feel safer.

Many moons ago (as a yound Air Force Sgt stationed in Texas) I used to love to go to Mehico for a weekend and later, when married, I took a couple of trips to Tijuana.

However that last time I was there was about 20 years ago.

Now, I wouldn't even take a free trip to Acapulco if offered.

A few years ago my wife and I took a years worth of Spanish classes from the local college. Classes were very cheap and we both use Spanish in our jobs, I’m a police officer and she is a teacher. The instructor for the class was born and raised in Mexico, and got her American citizenship the right way I might add. We took a trip with her to Mexico and saw the real side of the country, not the tourist side. Never been so happy to get back home in my life.

Wife and I liked to spend a week at Ixtapa after Christmas (about 20 years ago.) Inexpensive, safe, good chow.

Not anymore.

And the travel industry is starting to heavily advertise for trips to Mexico.

Money well wasted....

As life long Texans and south Texas deer hunters, we have taken many many trips to Mexico. During hunting season we would go across the border to Piedras Negras or Nuevolaredo every weekend. We have made many trips to the interior of Mexico, sightseeing and hunting, it is a beautiful country full of interesting places.
After a couple of scary incidents, we don't do that anymore, wouldn't be prudent.

Used to love to go to Cancun. After going to Nogalas 15 years ago I have no desire to set foot in Mexico ever again.
