Inspired Overseas Living

Some people may look to overseas travel and living sites for information and tips when it comes to planning Spring Break, especially now that 2011 has rolled in thoughts of sunshine and beaches grow increasingly popular. With that in mind, we wouldn’t be doing our full due diligence without posting comments about what seems to be an increasing problem in Mexican border towns which are often frequented by Spring Break-ers in their quest for underage drinking and partying. It seems that sexual assaults, rapes, kidnappings, and murder are all on the rise as violence between drug cartels escalates — with many unsuspecting bystanders becoming tangled in the literal cross-fire.These warnings continue to destination points outside of border towns; places like “Cancun, Acapulco, and Mazatlan” pointed out Texas DPS Director Steven C. McGraw. Unfortunately, much of Mexico is dependent on tourist dollars so the country continues to offer incentives to lure travelers in spite of the warnings issued by our own country’s officials. Our recommendation (at least until Mexico starts to take action for its crime rate by increasing punitive jurisdiction rather than increasing travel incentives) is to stay state side this year. Ever heard of Miami Beach?
