Is Mexico safe Jan 25 2010 |
Question: We were curious about all the violence we have been hearing about in Mexico and safety for tourists. We were planning to book an Isla Mujeres hotel for a trip this summer through you but have heard it might not be safe, especially on the drive from the airport to the ferry.
Our parents booked with you many times in the past.
Our reply: the press is exagerated. I live here. with my wife. so called violence in Mexico is mainly on the boarder with Texas and Arizona and even then less than the average american city.
nothing compares with the oaklahoma bomber or what you read in the national inquire about this crazy chicago man chopping up his neighbor with a cleaver and stuffing it in an abandoned fridge.
isla mujeres and cancun are heaven on earth and peaceful I say.
According to the FBI, Los Angeles California had 689 violet crimes in 2008. 10 being homocide.
According to leading sources: Cancun is amongst the safest places to travel in Mexico and is known throughout Mexico for its low crime rate. Other than the normal petty thievery frequent in all tourist destinations, major crime involving tourists in the tourists zones is almost non existent.
The homicide rate in Cancun is 4.7 per million in 2009. In 2008 Los Angeles had more than double the homocides of Cancun in 2009.
And Larry says: The per capita murder rate in Puerto Rico is 5 times that of the United States. I’m from the U.S.; I lived in Puerto Rico for 10 years until 2005.
Here in Cancun you can be on a lovely beach in a safe resort at just 45usd per person per night beachfront all-inclusive. Try that in LA. Or anywhere else. vist this Cancun beachfront hotel now
And did you know in 1916, 198 homicides were recorded in Chicago. At the time Chicago's population was that of Cancun's today in 2010. But Chicago's homocide rate was 47 times that of present-day Cancun's nearly a hundred year's ago.
In El Salvador there were 580 homocides per million back in 2006.
So if someone tells you Cancun isn't safe ask them where is? The south pole?
If you're thinking of Iceland, baby, think again. Back in 2008 this frozen country to the north had 14,726 crimes. And its' population is less than 1/3 of a million.

An issue effecting us all Aug 11 2008 |
At this time the USA is importing near 70% of its' oil consumption.
It just can't afford to keep doing that. Can you count? That's trillions of dollars over the coming years.
It may seem this does not relate to Mexico but remember burning carbon based fuels like oil adds to global warming effecting all of us regardless if you live in Teaneck New Jersey or here in Mexico.
Alternative energy is the ticket to be sure!
We provide this link for your consideration and to pressure your politicians.
Pickens Plan. The use of wind power as renewal energy as presented in this plan is interesting albeit, it must be said:
Who will provide all the rights to millions of acres for the wind farms to be constructed. And there's still the problem of wind which is not reliable. It doesn't always blow as some months are not windy.
As my main man said the answer my friend is blowing in the wind

Don't buy a used car from this man! January 12, 2007 |
It is a matter of public record that Michael E. Kelly has been and is currently under investigation for fraud, violation of securities laws and other questionable activities related to investment scams in a number of States in the United States. International investigations are also underway at this time.
Michael Eugene Kelly (operating time share in Mexico) is known to be involved in the sales of illegal, unregistered securities investments.
So good people think twice before buying a used car, the Brooklyn Bridge, time share, the Yucatan nine month note, or any investments in Yucatan Resorts from this man or his boiler-room sales staff.

III Foro Nacional de Turismo Cancun excerpts Jan 24, 2005 |
Quintana Roo is a model of what turism can do for a state. After the Mexican revolution the Mayans lived almost as slaves working on the haciendas. Today there are more oportunities of employment for everyone in areas directly or indirectly related to turism.
Tourism is the third most important industry in Mexico.
The friendliness of the Mexican people encourage tourism.
After just 34 years of existance Cancun has a population in size of Merida, a city of hundreds of years in age.
Some of the lobster caught in the waters of Isla Mujeres is exported to the USA.
Quintana Roo now has the highest level of immigration in Mexico.
Cruise ships contribute little to the city hosting them, rather they take advantage of existing infrastructures and natural surroundings.
