I have no desire to travel to Mexico either! 64% (I think that is the right figure) of upper middle class Mexicans have come to San Antonio, Texas to get away from the horrible crime in Mexico! Americans tend to be so clueless traveling in foreign lands and I always remember the cruise ship that was held hostage in Greece! Remember how they tossed the older handicapped gentlemen overboard? My dear late sis was married to an Army man and they traveled the world! Even in the late 50s and 60s she always said no one liked us in the US with the exception of France and Spain!<br />You can not even travel to Australia without showing proof of income in case you are stuck there! My friends daughter, an Aurora, Colorado police officer and her teenage daughter went there last year! No welfare! Only working people! <br />No government has a kind heart when Americans get into tough situations and that goes double for our government too! Sad world we live in!Annesphamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355786666073982088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-27916716516678448092012-07-26T06:49:48.069-06:002012-07-26T06:49:48.069-06:00Unbelievable story about your daughter!

Your story is scary and we have never traveled beyond the USA and the Mediterranean cruises. Your poor daughter. I can't even imagine being put in detention. My nephew was an exchange student in Turkey and he stayed with a very high powered family. He was thrown in jail over absolutely nothing and stayed there overnight until his host got him out the next day. It was over a bike that was missing and because he was from the US they accused him. It wasn't even missing the kid(a Neighbor's kid) forgot where he left it. They are brutal over there. This is a good warning.<br /><br />Love your pics of fabulous things as always. It is fun to dream and sometime dreams come true. Smile.<br />xo,<br />JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-65155564841825973132012-07-22T12:25:05.705-06:002012-07-22T12:25:05.705-06:00There are some European countries I want to re-vis...There are some European countries I want to re-visit (lived there as a child) but there are also countries I never want to set foot in. No personal experience for feeling that way, just a "gut instinct" that seems to haunt me that way. :) Love the ocean view room. Anything on the beach wins my vote!Cactusneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063893333954556967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975543655113692584.post-37644131227085415162012-07-22T08:03:02.128-06:002012-07-22T08:03:02.128-06:00I am sorry your daughter went through this, but I ...I am sorry your daughter went through this, but I do understand. I have been on many cruises in the past and one was to Turkey. I will never go back there or even take another cruise. They used to be a nice way to travel, but now days.LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853494568526683537noreply@blogger.com
