Is it safe to travel to Mexico at this time. We have a family vacation planned in May of this year. Want to know if it is safe or not. Heard lots of bad press. Thanks]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/spring_break_stay_safe/ Fri Mar 20, 2009
Exactly... use your common sense. I am in Chiapas with the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program and have never felt unsafe.

Use common sense, don't carry a lot of cash. Remember, people do things differently in Mexico and, even though you are not used to the ways things are done, you must respect the norms.

!Buen viaje!]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/spring_break_stay_safe/ Thu Mar 19, 2009
