Limo pickup and nice all inclusive the whole time in Playa

My wife has reservations about safety of air travel.

We both believe that this virus is grossly overblown, but I cant seem to get her over the flying part.

We do have a small child, so I get her being overly cautious.

It doesn't really matter what WE think--she's not comfortable doing it yet, so why aren't you listening to her? Plenty of other vacation options without flying. Happy wife, happy life. It's not as though you're missing some kind of once-in-a-lifetime family event or activity. It's just Cancun. It will be there next year.

It's the lack of logic since we are going to Montreal one month later. What's the difference between now and then?

Perhaps it is perception (Mexico vs Canada), or the thought of cumulative exposure (two non critical flights vs one). Or perhaps she doesn't want to freakin' go to Cancun, and you just won't let it go....so she's invoking Covid as a way to get out of this one.

Logic isn't required...if she's not feeling like a trip to Cancun, why are you so fixated on one? Try listening to her non-Covid reasons for not wanting to go. Does she not enjoy beach vacations? Is she not as enamored of the thought of trying to entertain a small kid while you day drink?

Perhaps she's trying to economize & would prefer to splash out while in Montreal rather than spend $$ in Cancun the month prior.

I dunno man, try listening to her. Shocking, I know...

You are so damn uptight and pompous. Probably lots of fun at parties.
Never mind I’m sure parties are beneath you

Yes I would. Flew two weeks ago and again later this week. Planes were/will be empty I don’t see it as more risky than going to a grocery store or restaurant.

If you did catch the covid on the plane and needed medical attention. Would rather be in Canada or Mexico

Playa was originally her idea. Then she started worrying about plane travel

I asked a simple question, and you have contributed nothing.

You’re the husband. It’s your job to make the decisions.

What does the US government advise right now?
I was in a call with co-workers from Mexico this morning and they seem to still be struggling with things. The tourist areas may be better though

My only reservation is medical care in Mexico. Doctors here have control of covid if as long as the patient is not really old or has major health issues. I would fly anywhere in the US.

That's a good point.

Is there anywhere in the U.S. really open amd worth flying to?

I agree, my hesitation isn't so much on flying but what happens if you get sick in Mexico. I might try calling the hotel and asking them.
