Anyone heard or been through Acapulco recently? Just read that the U.S. Embassy in Mexico is warning travelers to stay away due to an increase in violence and crimes.
"ACAPULCO, Mexico, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- U.S. citizens are being urged to avoid non-essential travel to the popular destination of Acapulco because of ongoing protests and violence linked to the disappearance of 43 students in the state of Guerrero.
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico has issued a message saying that all of its personnel have been told to defer non-essential travel by air and land to Acapulco and that road travel in all parts of Guerrero state is prohibited."
Yikes! We had a shore excursion planned, but will cancel that. I guess I'll be surprised if our ship actually does stop there. It will be a spa day for me and the hubby!
