And they have great diving down that way. La Bufadora is a very nice
place to dive and is an easy weekend trip for me. Getting in the water
is tricky though. You need to climb down onto some rocks, wait for a
wave to come in, jump in and ride it out. But once you are out, you only
snorkel out a

Now that sounds like a great vacation to me. I don't especially like
resorts. The timeshare resorts we have done have been good experiences, but
mostly because it is so unlike a regular resort. Basically you get an
apartment with 2-3 bedrooms, a kitchen, etc. and you live more like you
would live a
At first I read that as Nobody that I've sent there has come back LOL!

here you can do the
snorkeling thing (we went to Xel Ha ... Xcaret is bigger and more
well-known).

If you want to get the maximum excitement from scuba excursions, rent the
movie 'Open Water' before you go. :D

you were thinking about it, don't go to Mexico
It definitely depends on the town, but the disturbing trend is that there
are now organized gangs that kidnap Americans as a business. That has been
going on for years in Mexico City with everyone, not just foreigners, but it

It may make the difference that there were four of us and two were
largish young men. However, I think the difference was more that we
were very much not in places where you would go to find rich tourists.
Some of the buses we were on had chickens on them :)

Not exactly. Certainly the petty stuff - getting pulled over by the cops and
squeezed for a bribe- is more common right by the border, but bandits and
corrupt cops troll deserted areas along the toll road down the coast where
they think Americans might go. They actively look for people alone or

In San Diego the draw is proximity. I can be in Mexico 35 minutes after

I think this is less true as you get away from the border and tourist
areas. We have had no problems at all, but I have read this recently
about Baja, it is true. The only horrow story over here has to do with
