Well, one reason we chose where we are staying on Isla Mujeres was because of the safety factor. It is an isolated resort - on an island of it's own off of Isla Mujeres- only guests and staff allowed over there at night - Sounds relaxing doesnt it
The latest reports still say cancun is safe enough

I am looking forward to this trip (day after tomorrow!) We considered Negril - but it felt like far too much work for a last minute jaunt - I like to be prepared when I go to Negril. We have been working so hard and living on a tight budget for the past two years - i wanted to go someplace where we could relax - swim - snorkel - enjoy the wonders of nature (and each other - lol) - socialize and relax - and between you and me - i'm happy to go someplace where Dread wont be running around fixing every bodies computer problems - as that's the kind of guy he is - he loves to help people and i love him for that - but - we need a VACATION! We are traveling light and will only bring my small pink notebook computer - I think that will surely detour Dread from spending too much time working on line - (so glad I chose pink!)
