But sooner or later, people are going to start thinking about going again. When would you feel okay about either going to Mexico, or booking a trip to go to Mexico? I'm thinking of a few places, but things are so up in the air with various options in various places, that I am nowhere near decided. But still, I'm thinking about it.

Of course more colonial cities around San Miguel de Allende would be great too. My main "problem" is that if I book one trip, then that severely limits what other trips I can book, in terms of vacation time usage, and I am feeling quite indecisive because I'd like to go to the other places too. I'd also hate to book a trip and have to cancel it because of a scare, but it certainly looks like this scare is nearly over. (This all sounds like a rather ridiculous problem, I must admit.)

Haven't heard much happening there. Other cities might be on a case by case basis, but overall, I kind of see Mexico like I do the US - a very big place with a lot of space in between.

We visited four ports in Mexico a couple weeks ago on a cruise from South America to Seattle. It was Holy Week, and both Huatulco and Acapulco were packed with people down from Mexico City for the holidays. Acapulco alone had 1.5 million visitors, including us, doubling their population. We went to quite a few of the standard tourist sites in Acapulco. And it sure seemed like there were at least a million Mexican nationals on the beach with us in Huatulco. We took a picture as we were leaving, of people on the beach and in the water, just because it was such an unbelievable sight that we were there with that many people. On those dates, swine flu had already surfaced in Mexico City, but it was about ten more days before news of it hit the air waves, so we were blissfully unaware. Bottom line is that neither Bigdog nor I nor anybody we met on the cruise came down with swine flu.

Most policies here will not cover you if the Foreign Office is strongly advising not to travel there.

I would love to go back to Puerto Vallarta, but too much travel already planned for this year. Hmmm...............November and December are still open.
