In 1997 my wife and I stayed at the Hyatt in Cancun for two weeks.
This was before the entire country of Mexico was overrun with drug cartels but it was getting started.
Some of excellent golf courses that we played at had armed guards walking the perimeter and it was not pleasant.
I went back to Cancun in 2008 for one night only and couldn't get out of there fast enough.
No more visits to Mexico for me.
If I want sunshine, I'll go to obama's home state, kenya.
I cruise a bit, not as much as some, more than others.
I find it a monument to cowardice to see bits of paradise surrendered to the drug cartels, eagerly and with full cooperation. The cruise ships are pulling out of Acapulco, because of a couple thousand gang members. So, we have a city with a population of less than 1 Million, surrendered to drug dealers and gangs with a membership of less than 1,000. The city outnumbers the drug dealers by a ratio of about 100:1. Now, the entire city is going to lose their greatest industry, “tourism”; because of some parasites that the locals seem content to keep around, and actively support.
Until the Mexicans decide to stand up to ‘evil’, and act like a man, instead of cowards - the country will continue to degenerate, and more of Mexico’s favorite ‘imports’ will continue to cross our borders, bringing with them the very problems they chose to flee.
