What do you mean by expensive? Probably less than going sledding if i was a betting man.


But right on, thanks i will look into it

More expensive than Mexico. Flights are longer and more expensive, so is food.

4.5hrs from Toronto.

Went there(Jaco) last winter Really Nice but expensive in my opinion. Argentina is nicere and food and drink is cheap.

Jaco eh, went to a wedding there. The stag was great, not sure I would recommend it for couples. If ya know, ya know.

Our friends are there now and staying on the beach with drinks.

......and worried about getting home?? I’m just fine sitting in beautiful Salmon Arm/Shuswap and not a care in the world. Thank you very much.

Sucks for us non vaxxed people. It was one of the places we could travel too..

Grenada is my next warm spot to travel to.

When the suburban pulls away that is Paul (Catman10) and his family in the white vehicle right behind it. Think it just happens to other people wrong place wrong time but it can happen in a blink of an eye.

You're retired why would you need to worry about getting home? It's just bonus days at the pool bar

Sounds like everything has opened up again. Just some delays to the airports.

It’s only certain areas that are bad cartel areas typically.

They arrested Chapo’s son ahead of Biden coming there and his cartel is going wild.

I believe Cancun and areas down south are ok.

Not sure how long its been since you’ve been in the Cancun/Playa/Tulum area, but I wouldn’t think of going back there any time soon…. Cartel has taken over!

There are so many other places in the world to see, why support that shithole?

I’m not a fan of connecting flights, especially when they involve Toronto, but being stuck there or a connection in Dallas/Miami, would be x better than being shot in traffic or the airport in Mexico.

First time I went to Mexico was back in the mid 2000’s for a Ski Doo dealer meeting. It was at Acapulco and when we jumped in the shuttle to go to the resort from the airport we drove through a crime scene at the entrance to the airport. 7 blue body bags on the ground. 3 dead cops and 4 dead cartel members from a shootout. Opens your eyes. Got to the resort and 2 guys at guard shack waive us through, one with an M16 and the other had a sawed off semi auto shotgun. Looked at wife and said wtf have we gotten in to. Lol. Haven’t been back .

Hahaha............I like my own bed, my own house, my easy life, and my normally relaxing life. Not so busy this winter but no inclination to go to Mexico.

ch!t we have been lucky. me and my family have been drunk all over Mexico. Both coasts and near 20 trips. We hire the guy on the beach selling jewellery to take us to town. Take us to parties where they go. Beaches where they go. We avoid all the tourist traps. Drinking and drunk by midnight never had any problems. Snoke weed on the beach smoke joints all over like their cigarettes. I love Mexico. Even been to many bars and strip joints. Nothing but good people.

Getting bored with the usual tourist tours. I’m thinking the cartel tour packages will be in season. Fun for the whole family. Little game called run for you life.

 

[LMLCHEVY]

Ya I’m over Mexico. Did Jaco a couple years back. Basically Mexico with American prices. If I’m going to spend that kind of money I’d rather do a quiet island in the Caribbean with white sand beaches.

 

[bobsledder]

Is Argentina pretty safe? Wife and I are looking to get away somewhere once the coast is clear

Ver safe Mendoza region is very nice

 

[bobsledder]

Travel adviserys for there as well Bert for civil unrest I believe

I traveled to Argentina for work a lot and those warnings were there. Usually a strike. That is one risk the local airlines go on strike sometimes and then you ride the bus.

No violence ever happens in the USA though. Except that time my friends were in Vegas when 50 people were shot at a concert with machince guns or the time BLM burnt down 11 cities... Or the daily gang shootings in Chicago.... Or that one time on 9/11.....

Ever see travel advisories for the US? That place is fuct...

Or all the crack and meth heads shooting up in front of businesses. Buddy just came back from Seattle said it was brutal.
