Why the compulsion to go anywhere? Maybe because different places have special things to offer travelers who seek diversified experieices?

Actually, no. Not bizarre.

Because you can get luxury resorts for much less than other places.

This is not remotely the same thing.

It's like saying "Vail is dangerous because certain ski areas in Maine, Virginia and Utah are avalanche risks".

Your risk assessment abilities are also deeply flawed.

Where in Mexico though?

Your Colombian friends would also be telling us all that it's cool to come to Colombia.

You're just a stick in the mud.

Glad cartel violence is a joke to your family.

Doesn't matter Mexicans live in fear and violence as long as you get a good laugh, right?

Spare me the bullshit. You're not going to Mexico out of concern for the safety of the Mexicans either.

We are still planning on going this week. Another resort in Mayakoba.

I checked our hotel this morning capacity is wide open - multiple rooms of all sizes and views available, including discounts for the "Fourth Night Free."

So you’re basically vacationing in a fancy prison. Sounds lovely.

I don’t think you know what a “prison” is…

Well you’re basically captive by choice but captive nonetheless. A gilded cage is still a cage.
