re: Cuba embargo to be lifted

Look south and you will see what happened to the lovely beaches of the Yucatan peninsula, especially Cancun. Big tourist boom in the 80s and 90s, deteriorating infrastructure and increasing crime now. I don't know many people who still go there. Like I said, once the novelty wears off, people will go elsewhere. Tropical beaches look a lot like each other; I know because I've actually traveled and seen them. Have you?!?!

There were also two killer hurricanes that took out most of Cancun in 2005 and 2007.

Also, there Mexico always had high crime. It just ramped up violence and firepower when Mexico became our sworn ally in the War on Drugs... another decades old political failure whose time has come.
