Hey Mexico isn't for everyone! I understand why lots of people do not want to go there. I now live in Cali central valley where I would guess the Mexican population is about 60%. I have more Mexican friends here than I can count. Legals and illegals. I only know one family that makes the yearly trip to their homeland still, but they fly. All the others insist that it is just not safe. Now for ourselves I still love the good things Mexico has to offer we have weighed the pros and cons and still find if appealing.
BUT if I could drive to Tahiti, Hawaii or other beach paradises, which we have visited, I might consider switching.
