I think it is our responsibility to spread the word on how unsafe it is to go south of the border. Crime is rampant everywhere. The water will kill
you if the bad guys don't. Your women and children will be kidnapped. The cops are with the criminals. You could lose everything if you go. Stay at
home in your safe U.S. neighborhood.
The threat is real.

TW, Are you joking or was your post for real? You're saying Deb and I should stay home instead of getting away from husbands and work for three days.
Gee I wouldn't want to miss my cooking class at Baja Lang. School think the bads well get me ther? I do hope your post was in jest. I am going
anyway. I have NO FEAR and I know we will be safe.

Cyndarouh, or course all of this is in jest...you will have a safe and happy trip like always...IF you practice some common sense.
Now if you will be carrying drugs, pistols, illegal aliens, terrorists, suitcase nukes, apple pies, etc. THEN you are in trouble...
To be absolutely safe I would turn that apple pie over to me....

Pomano, NO Apple Pie???? I am bring several any way. We cant loose the pie lady title can we? I thank you all for the advice. We can all use a tune up
once in a while. If for any reason I had any fear I would not go. I pretty much know the ins and outs. and feel safer there than some places here in
the US.

Well I guess my post was in jest, but it not a bad ideal to try and stop Americans and Canadians from coming down. More for me and you if you come.
Did I tell you about the bandits shooting at me from Tecate to Ensenada, I almost was killed, several times.

I checked the hotels in the Rosarito area. Bookings are normal for this time of year. No rash of cancelations.

I think TW's post should be taken as gospel by all of the non-Nomads out there. Baja Nomads, of course, know the real story.

The US State Dept's response:
WASHINGTON ? Twenty-seven Americans have been abducted in Mexico's northern border region over the past six months and two have been killed, the State
Department said Thursday.
Spokesman Richard Boucher cited those numbers in defending an alert to U.S. citizens about the risks of traveling in the area.
Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez said the State Department announcement, issued Wednesday, exaggerated the danger.
Boucher said he was aware of the Mexican objections but added that the administration believes it is important to inform Americans about security
along the border.
"We're aware of 27 incidents involving abductions of Americans, and that we know two of those Americans were killed and 11 remain missing and 14 were
eventually released," he said.
In addition to the public announcement, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Tony Garza, sent a letter to top Mexican officials saying he was concerned
growing drug-related violence and kidnappings in northern Mexico would have a chilling effect on cross-border trade and tourism.
