I have a trip booked for March 18 to stay at a hotel in the city center. Me and my husband, both Canadian. Should we cancel the trip due to recent cartel activity?

    We spend a lot of time in Mexico but not in Puerto Vallarta. When there are incidents of this type things tend to get back to normal very quickly, usually in less than a week. Nobody, including the cartels, wants to kill tourism in their home towns.

      You do know that cartels occasionally take international travelers.

            There is always someone online who claims to be an expert on subjects he knows nothing about. Today you’re an expert on Mexico because of reasons.

            You know people are regularly abducted and trafficked from major cities around the world, right? Right?

                I’ve spent years there and have direct, personal experience. You’ve maybe seen a headline, likely haven’t ever been there (or out of the country for that matter), and want to play pigeon chess. Not going to waste any more time on you.
