Lulee Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I just found out that there is a travel warning out for American travelling to Mexico right now. It especially pertains to boarder cities an specifically noted Tiajuana. I'm not so worried for myself since I figure I will either be getting shuttled to the hotel or airport, at the hotel or at the hospital. I am however concerned for my friend who is coming with me and was planning on doing some shopping. I don't think that will happen now. Should we be worried about this? Ps- I'm getting banded March 20th
shady Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 i am in Tijuana right now, it is perfectly fine and safe, there van picks you up from airport and takes to the hotel, i am staying at marriot and so far so good, the clinic is 15 min drive pretty safe and sound, there are many bandsters around and you can make friends too.
fat2nrml Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I wouldn't go anywhere in TJ by yourself. That's just my opinion.... better safe than sorry! I was there on the 19th and 20th and my daughter and I just stayed at the hotel. I felt safe there and during my shuttles. Ramona and Hubby went to Revolution Ave. and invited us along, but Mikayla was afraid from all the drug crime and all so we stayed behind.
CanadianBandster Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Theyve had a travel warning on like that for a long time - seriously. Its the same as it has been for quite a few months. Just be aware of your surroundings like everyone says. I go there every 6-8 weeks and have been fine so far - and we even go out while we are there, go shopping, go bowling, go to the mall, etc etc
mona-camille Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Revolution avenue was fine. I've been there 4 times and never once did I see a problem in Tijuana or Revolution Avenue. Just don't go out at night is the best advice. And make sure to use Lucerna's taxi and you will be fine. It's no different than going to New York City.
CanadianBandster Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 See - Im bad - we even went out at night - Ive probably gone out about 7 times and havent had problems. We even went to revolution at night (SCARY though lol) but we were with some of our local friends. AND I wont go to Rev Ave at night again cuz I dont like seeing the prostitutes and all the police - it was scary for me.
dejongshy Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 The new warning is due to Spring Break coming up and all the college kids that flock to Mexico for parties... It was on the news here in Washington this week. I had no trouble when I was there. Shy
CanadianBandster Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 ugh - what a pain in the butt - when is spring break over there?
