This is why I just go to Florida when I want sun and beaches. The tourist traps just aren't worth the time, cost, flight, scams, and constant salesmen of every freaking knick knack on every corner.
People like to bitch and complain how bad things are in the US. It seems that everywhere else is shittier than we are in the states. Anyone who wants to get their travel on should be content on staying in country and make it a goal to visit all 50 US states.
Do not stay away from Mexico, amigos. I have lived here for 30 years, and this is a rare unheard of case. Do you stay away from Chicago, because there is a MURDER almost everyday?
Mexico --indeed, all of Latin America except for Costa Rica-- will NEVER get its shit together. If it hasn't happened after 200 years, it's not going to happen at all.
You forgot corrupt cops and getting caught in a crossfire between rival gangs. My wife went to that shithole about 5 years ago with her world traveler girlfriend. Gorgeous scenery, but the local cops will stop you and demand money for a made up violation. Couple that with roadblocks where soldiers search your car for whatever. Mexico is North Korea with a better climate. Pass.
