Has anyone heard or experienced any out of the ordinary problems with going to Mexico. I am aware of the Nuevo Laredo drug gang problems but have a sister in-law that wants to go to Rocky Point with our family and she has been told it is way to dangerous. I thought Scottyboy or someone else with reliable info could respond and help the sister in-law realize that tourism in towns like Rocky Point are so important that the Mexican gov. would not want a huge reduction in tourism so they would take care of any issues that impeded tourism. any help would be appreciated........ Thanks, Allen Taylor......
 
Allen, there are a lot of my buddies who go to mexico and have a lot of fun. i have heard of some bad thingsd that have happened there but it is there fault cause there kinda rowdy drunk. as much as i have heard bad i have also heard the the town is very american and very tourist orientated.

I've been there many times and never experienced any problems. I usually go fishing in Rocky Point or buy seafood. Most of the locals are respectful to the Americans. They know their economy is based on tourism and the money we bring the little town.
 
I should have said that I go to rocky point all the time, but my sister in-law is spooked and I am trying to get info to show her that it is not any big deal. I know there have been some recent issues at Nuevo Laredo that she may have heard about but those are drug gangs fighting over turf....... Thanks, Allen Taylor......
 
Allen, Rocky Point is NO PROBLEMO! Lots of fun, and plenty safe in my opinion. Outstanding beach vacation, as long as you go during the right time of year (way too hot in the summer...).

One of the ADA Youth guys owns some condos down there and has some contacts. Call me and I'll pass along some details...

Oops... I obviously mis-understood you as well Bura...

The best argument that I can think of is that the entire deal down there depends on the U.S. citizens going down there & spending money on their vacations. We are the source of their income, and hence they have EVERY reason in the world to make it safe for the average American. Since they truly know (and appreciate) the benefit the Americans have on their local economy, they generally go out of their way for the average tourist.

Love that shrimp!!! ;-)

Allen I have a house down there on the beach
All the incidents with the drug stuff have been off the main highway. We go probably once a month except in the summer time (to darn hot) just let her know stay on the main road and she should have no problems only fun

Thanks again guys. I am having her read all the posts and then she will see that it is not a problem....... Allen Taylor......
 
I won't go down there. To me it's not worth the risk taking my young family. What happens if you car breaks down on the main highway? You might feel more comfortable than I if you speak Spanish but every time I've gone down there I pray not to have car troubles. Call me racist if you want but I don't trust someone who is desperate for money and you can't communicate with them.
