…or, for that matter, is ANYWHERE safe?
•
Like many tourist destination, including THAILAND, the U.S.
government has, in the past, issued travel advisories for
Mexico.
•
The areas to avoid are along the border of Mexico and the
U.S. – far from the coastal ports of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan,
and Puerto Vallarta, where our cruise plans to stop.
•
All cruise stops are popular TOURIST DESTINATIONS and
shore excursions are planned for the entire group; student,
and even groups of students, will NOT be allowed to wander
separately.
•
As in ANY city that our students have visited in the past (e.g
Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, etc.)
there are “bad” parts of town that we clearly steer away
from.
