[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is this latest warning based on?  I was aware that in the past few days/weeks, there was a prohibition from US gov. employees using the ferry to Cozumel from Playa.  We were going to do that, but I figured we could just make alternate plans.

DH is a fed.  I wasn't going to tell him about the ferry issue until later (and it might have been lifted by the time we were there).  But, now... we have a problem!  This is our big international trip with the kids!  Flights are paid for.  Condo is paid for.  Right in Playa.  I'm not going to cancel anything yet... the advisory could change by the time we plan to leave.  But, dang!  What a pain in the neck.  I probably have to tell DH.  :(  [/quote]

We were gonna go next week despite the warnings.

Seriously WATCH THIS

THE story has been buried by the media. Two bombs in the last month in Playa.

How is this NOT being reported more widely?  [/quote]

I KNOW! I was firmly in the camp of meh, we are going anyway, everyone is freaking out for no reason.

No way in hell will we be setting foot in Mexico now.

For reference-I’ve lived there, was in Playa a year ago, speak fluent Spanish, and my heart is broken knowing it’s just not safe anymore. Mexico is over, at least for the foreseeable future. I’ll miss you :([/quote]

Same boat- even the living there part.  I love Mexico and there are so many wonderful people there - but no way am I going, like you, for the  foreseeable future. It's tragic. [/quote]
