We have all conducted on the drug war is on the border with Mexico and has been the number of murders and countless collateral damage as a result. We also heard about the H1N1 virus, because presumably originated in Mexico, and many mistruths about the widespread and virulent in the country.

I planned a family outing, Cancun in thirty days. DuringAre, of course, safety and welfare of my family and for my part, I am not for my upcoming vacation - Make a weekend so necessary - the minimum. Hopefully the following information is presented to dispel many lies, rumors, and the public on a trip to Mexico and ease the fears of others plan their holiday in this beautiful country and safe.

Violence in Mexico
The U.S. State Department has issued an invitation to travelcitizens traveling to certain parts of Mexico. It 'true that the violence of a war between Mexican drug cartels take the areas that came under their control for decades and the Mexican army, police and military police of the United States and are involved in the conflict intensifies and should be cause for concern. These areas, including Tijuana, Chihuahua City, Monterrey and Ciudad Juarez have been deemed unsafe and should be avoided by travelers. Just recently, a kidnapping with aAmerican citizens were in Tijuana. Fortunately, the woman held captive for ransom was released and returned safely home by then.

It should be noted that most of the violence in these areas was primarily aimed against cartels and gang members are police and officials. As shown in the latter case the tourists kidnapped in Tijuana, these statistics would do little to alleviate the fear of anyone traveling to these areas. Also they should not. However, I noticedargue that many of them against travel to Mexico at all, because the war against drugs said, few, if appropriate, the impact in the United States do not hear these people tell me to San Diego to avoid, for example. Canada and notice of release of other countries traveling to the United States all the time.
