I was not going to respond to the male chauvinism regarding my ex, but then thought it was worthwhile to mention it- because of the culture down there. I dont think that it's any "safer" for men vs women in mexico- or south america for that matter where I lived. Americans are still mostly able to roam around the world with impunity due to the strength of the US govt. I personally couldnt stand seeing the poverty anymore and that also enters into my decison to not want to ever leave the US again. (although I do like europe). I also am horrified at the thought of bringing candy for the kids, as they need actual "food" and not a bunch of sugary crap.

Get the Mexican car insurance for an extra day or two. There are a lot of police and military stops throughout Baja, and it can take a lot if time. You also might want to stay an extra night. Do not let your insurance lapse, no matter what only Mexican insurance works there.

Did any of you notice that the original posting was dated 2010! I am sure Frankie's trip is long over and you are wrangling about the safety of a completely different part of Mexico 3 years later. I wish people would pay attention to posting dates, what is the purpose of responding to an over 3 year old post's questions?
