<p>The State Department puts out a warning for Mexico and yet that appears the place to be. With a solid 5% chance of a nightmare, why the risk? The State Dept. specifically stated Cabo San Lucas and Cancun. It’s like the bad guys are just drooling for the impending arrival of drunken college kids. I don’t like to think I’m a worry wart but simple common sense tells me it’s not a good idea.</p>
<p>d is at day 4 of trip to Cancun…totally group organized activities, with adult supervision and she is 22…</p>
<p>I asked her about the above? She responded, “Cancun is a beautiful city; so surprised”</p>
<p>Bottom line: if you act safe, in a group, don’t go off on your own, should be fine…</p>
<p>Btw, there is another thread discussing this from about a month ago…</p>
<p>In reference to your post: each parent has to decide what is right for their family… At 22, my daughter had already travelled all over Europe by herself before this…knows the deal</p>
<p>Now, would I send an 18 yr old? Heck, no…but my 18 yr old doesn’t “get it” sometimes…not worth the 5% risk</p>
<p>OP: While I agree that Mexico travel makes me nervous, The State Dept. warning (from Feb. 8) says NO warning is in effect for Cabo.</p>

<p>It was the Texas Dept. of Public Safety that specified the resort communities. I have a little more faith in the TX DPS than the Feds when it comes to Mexico. Hope everyone stays well.</p>
