<p>^^ whoa whoa whoa, let’s keep this in perspective. That consulate worker was shot in Juarez, which is a completely different part of the country. And if there’s any action taken against drug lords by the Mexican military, it will in border areas or places like Mexico City or Baja, where the drug violence has been the worst, not in tourist resorts like Nuevo Vallarte. You can read all about that in the State Department release, where it clearly says the border areas are a dangerous, it doesn’t make the whole country verboten. The only unrest in Cancun is going to happen if the bad economy keeps too many Ameircan college kids from going there to get drunk and stupid. and this girl is not going to Cancun. </p>
<p>And basically, she could be shot walking down the street in her neighborhood now. She could be drugged by an unattended drink at her college or at a high school party now. You should just impress on them the same rules as I hope you tell them for parties in the states. DON’T leave your drink unattended, even to go to the bathroom or step away for a moment. Get a new drink. Don’t accept drinks unless you’ve seen them poured. There are plenty of dangers right here in the United States, and keeping her away from a vacation in a very safe, very touristy part of Mexico won’t protect her any more than keeping her at home.</p>
