As you consider your Spring Break destination this year, it might be wise if you cross Acapulco and Cancun off your desired dream spots. It has become increasingly risky to take that trip “south of the border, down Mexico way.”
It would be in your best interest to find a place you always wanted to see, right here in the good old USA.
Travellers have begun canceling their spring break plans to Mexico after cartel violence engulfed Puerto Vallarta following the killing of the country’s most brutal drug lord “El Mencho” last weekend, according to a top travel security expert.
The violence could even impact the World Cup this summer, with games scheduled for Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, and the home base of El Mencho’s Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), William Ruiz, Senior Security Manager for Latin America at International SOS.
“My advice is if the spring break destination is in those affected areas, and they already have the tickets purchased, they should strongly reconsider the travel plan for now, until officially informed that the security environment has improved significantly,” Ruiz said.
Sounds pretty reasonable. Yes? Perhaps this would be a good year to visit spot closer to your home. A place where you don’t need expensive airline tickets or immunizations.
There is so much to see all across this beautiful country of ours. Some examples include Historical Williamsburg, our newly safe Nation’s Capital, Pennsylvania Dutch Country in Lancaster, PA, the Alamo, the Grand Canyon, or even the Disney Parks in California and Florida.
If you are looking for a more wintry view, think about the snow-filled Northeast. Nature even filled in many of those locations this past weekend.
The point is to keep your family and yourself safe this season. So much better for your wallet and your peace of mind, for sure.
And you help to keep our economy in a much more robust chance to continue its rebound from the last few years of decline. Why give your hard-earned dollars to businesses who don’t really care about you, when you can help grow American businesses!
These are all valid points to consider as you plan to get a few days away from your winter doldrums. And stay safe in the process.
And soon enough, you will be looking forward to planning for that hard-earned summer vacay. With a few extra bucks in your pocket.
Have a goad, fun and SAFE Spring Break, My Friends!
