Spring Break in Mexico

With spring break rapidly approaching, I found an article on the U.S. Department of State site containing some useful information to keep in mind if you're traveling to Mexico. This is extremely important to read with everything going on there. It's also a great resource for any other travel destinations, whether it's for spring break, study abroad, or even just a family vacation.

Here are some highlights:
  • Entry Requirements: everyone is required to have a passport to re-enter the U.S. from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central & South America, Canada, and Bermuda.
  • Mexican Law: any arrest or incidents will be under Mexican Law-this can make the legal procedures much more difficult.
  • Alcohol & Drugs: many accidents are alcohol & drug related-this has led to serious problems with Mexican authorities.
  • Safety & Security: Use common sense. Some things to pay extra close attention to are warning flags on beaches and illegitimate taxi drivers.
