I have a friend who’s mom is going to Mexico and her travel mate backed out. She is still going and will be traveling by Greyhound bus. Is this safe right now?
I was concerned about all the drug happenings over there right now, and she will not be with anyone she knows at all. Completely by herself.

Well first… there are no Greyhound buses in Mexico.

However, in the nicer class of buses in Mexico, they are actually nicer than the Greyhound-type we see in the US. Many have movies and serve a snack. Many are cleaner and nicer than the last Greyhound I was on.

Your friend should not be impacted by the much sensationalized violence between the drug-cartel leaders, who are killing each other off. Many of the top leaders have been killed or arrested. The government on all levels in most areas of Mexico are acting united to end the cartel violence and corruption of local police and officials.

The fact is that the drug cartels have no interest in people on a bus.

However, you don’t say what kind of trip this is. Is there a destination and your friend stays on the bus until she gets there? If all she has to do is transfer in a major city, that’s no big deal.

If she is using the bus to travel to one place… stay a few while… then get on a bus and travel to another place… slightly more risky, but NOT due to any of the drug cartel violence! Then she is subject to the same risk any lone traveler will experience, alone in a strange city. What city? What time of night? Does she know where she will be staying the night so all she has to do is take a taxi to there?

I live in Baja, and there are back-pack travelers passing through all the time. Most are in pairs, but some are young, innocent, from Europe or Asia, etc. I have seen a few singles… but not many. My favorite cafe is near the local bus stop, so I see them and talk to as many as possible because it is very interesting to meet them and chat. It seems to me that their attitude and common sense is very important.

So, if your friend feels she is capable of making the trip, I bet she is. She should not even smoke a joint though! Mexico is not the place to break the law. She should do normal advance research, leave word where she is going, and find internet cafes wherever she travels to give updates. There are some good cell phone and Nextel radio plans where she could stay in contact. When in Mexico a phone card is the cheapest way to call… buy a card and use public phones in safe locations.

I would be concerned too, but not afraid. She will be as safe in Mexico as she would be in many other parts of the world, and safer than some. A lot depends on where and what her exact plans are.

I hope she has a good time and you work with her to be a point of contact to help her accomplish her goal of travel in Mexico. It is a great country with a rich heritage and culture.

Blue Collar Comedy Tour veterans Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall team up in DELTA FARCE, a military-spoof comedy featuring their southern red-neck stand-up schtick. Bill and Larry, along with their scrawny friend Everett (played by DJ Qualls), are weekend warriors in the Army reserves. Not only have they not trained, but they see the weekend as a getaway from the pressures of their daily lives. But with the military’s forces depleted by the no-end-in-sight Iraq War, they turn to their reservists. Bill, Larry, and Everett are thrown into whirlwind boot-camp sessions, led by the commanding powerhouse Sgt. Kilgore (Keith David), to prepare for their upcoming deployment to Iraq. On their overnight flight to the Middle East, a thunderstorm threatens the cargo carrier, and equipment fitted with parachutes is dumped to lighten the load. Unfortunately, this includes the three bumbling friends, who sought refuge in an all-terrain vehicle to catch up on some sleep. They wake up in the desert, confused and disoriented, and assume they’ve reached the mission destination. But it turns out they aren’t anywhere near Iraq–they’ve landed in Mexico, where they stumble upon a small village that has been overrun and terrorized by gun-wielding gangsters DELTA FARCE is one of the few war films to be released as the Iraq War is in full swing, and it takes a daringly comedic approach. The starring cast members never abandon the style they’ve become famous for, providing an abundance of silline

BABEL is the crowning achievement in the trilogy from the unstoppable creative pairing of screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga and director Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu, which also includes AMORES PERROS (2000) and 21 GRAMS (2003). Building upon its predecessors’ method of weaving together disparate storylines, BABEL reaches new heights of ambition with a tale that, in the absence of traditional narrative and protagonist, relies on numerous incredible performances to evoke an affecting relevance by framing contemporary issues in very human struggles and mistakes. Richard and Susan (Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) are a wealthy couple from San Diego who are vacationing in Morocco in order to heal after the death of their young child; their other two children are at home with their Mexican maid, Amelia (Adriana Barraza). In a complex shift of ownership to which the audience is privy, a rifle finds its way into the hands of a local herdsman’s young sons (Said Tarchani and Boubker Ait El Caid), who recklessly take a shot at a tour bus and catch Susan in the shoulder, causing her to nearly lose her life. The distraught Richard calls home to tell Amelia of the situation, who promptly departs for Mexico to attend her child’s wedding, with Richard and Susan’s children in tow. Disaster thus multiplies, with the situation in Morocco ascribed to terrorists in the media, while Amelia meets with the harsh immigration policies of the Bush administration. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, a widower (Koji Yakusho

My wife and I are looking at taking a hot vacation this winter to Mexico. We want an all-inclusive where we can relax, lie on the beach and eat and drink. At the same time I would like to go to a resort that has some environmentally friendly / sustainable practices. And by this I mean more than a towel re-use program.

Does anyone know of any resorts in Mexico or the Dominican Republic that have sustainability policies?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Here is a link to the Travelocity Green Hotel site. Look under Mexico and there are a number of hotels in each of the major resorts.

I also like Mel’s idea of traveling green yourself.
