PostHeaderIcon Crime and Safety in Lake Chapala Mexico

For many years, my husband and I have lived in Lake Chapala Mexico, located 45 min from Guadalajara and 4 hours inland from Puerto Vallarta. One of the most important reasons we chose to move here was our children. We wanted to raise them in a safe environment. If you question our motivation I have facts that back the latter statement. The NationMaster’s Crime per Capita report lists the U.S. as #8 and Mexico way down at #39.

Does knowing that Miami has the highest violent crime rate in the U.S. prevent you and your loved ones from vacationing in Miami? So, if Miami has the highest crime rate in a country ranked 8th overall, why all the concern about Mexico with a crime ranking 31 times less. Put’s matters in perspective doesn’t it.

Here is another fact. As reported by RE/MAX Investment… tourist hot spots in Mexico are twenty six times safer than some zones in the U.S.

This report gets very specific. Here some crime rate comparisons to consider. The crime rates in Las Cabos, Lapaz and Loreto have a homicide rate 26 time less that of Orlando, 18 less that of Miami, 17 less that of West Palm Beach, 12 less that of Tampa and 6 times less that of Honolulu.

PostHeaderIcon Get a Free Vacation In Mexico – Or Die – Or Both

Well since nobody wants to go to Mexico because of the Swine flu, Hotels on the Caribbean are offering FREE vacations for 3 years if you contract Swine Flu while you are in Mexico. The reason is Swine Flu is killing Mexico tourism.

58 people have died from the Swine Flu as of this writing, and probably 58,000 have cancelled their trips to Mexico. Sites like Expedia and Hotels.com are offering penalty waivers for clients who do not want to go due to the Swine Flu, as are hotels.

This is now known as the Flu Free Guarantee. If you have symptoms 8 days after your trip you get 3 years of free travel to Mexico. Over 5,000 hotels are involved in this promotion. They really want to grow confidence in the Mexico tourism.

They have also published letters sent to the United States Government to lift the warning on traveling to Mexico. My question is, right now is this the best time to do this? I mean what if there is a severe impact. Forget the three years of free travel, what if people take them up on this offer and cause the spread to get worse.

SWINE FLU REACHES THE TOP OF THE CHARTS

When I left work last Friday afternoon I had never heard of the Swine Flu, It did not exist in my world. When I woke up on Monday morning Swine Flu was #1 with a bullet on the News media’s list of hits!

Watching the News was worse then listening to some top 40 Radio Station where they play the same songs over and over again! On Every Channel all they where talking about was the Swine Flu, Where it came from, How you could catch it, They where talking about quarantining people all over the Country. My God I though this sounds like the end of the world this must be the plague that will end man kind!

How many Americana’s have died from this? I wondered as I sat there on Monday Morning watching the News. I could not find out how many were dead, was it Hundreds perhaps thousands? I waited for the Reporters to inform me of the amount of casualties! It never came just more talk,scary words and sayings.When I got to my office I looked it up on my computer to find no Americans had died at the time and only 6 or 7 Mexicans had died from this disease.

PostHeaderIcon Mexican Boxing Legend Carlos Palomino In Profile

The US mainstream sports media likes to proclaim certain athletes as good or bad ‘role models’, but they’re almost single minded in their obsession with winning. Great NBA players like John Stockton, or NFL players like Dan Marino are criticized for never having won ‘the big one’.

The mainstream sports media also likes to depict boxing as a repository of sleaze, but the reality is that more so than other sports ‘the sweet science’ cares about ‘how the game is played’. Boxing pundits place great emphasis on the competitive quality of a fight–great fights like the Morales-Barrera trilogy, Hagler-Hearns or Hagler-Leonard are considered such for the heart and resolve shown by the fighters, not because of who won. The 2004 fight between current ‘pound for pound’ king Manny Pacquaio and Juan Manuel Marquez is a perfect example–despite breathtaking action from start to finish the fight was ultimately ruled a draw.
