This is day seven of our cruise.  We are off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  The next three days will see stops in Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo and Acapulco.  How many tours will we take?  None.  Been there, done all that, but nice weather.  Sunny with a high of 86F.  This condition will prevail until Acapulco, when rain is expected. While cruise tours are very safe,  Mexico is always a concern .  The State Department notes that violent crime is common and widespread in Mexico.  They recommend that travelers reconsider travel to Baja California because of crime and kidnapping.  About Cabo San Lucas, the advisory says don't walk around at night and leave the bling at home.  Never take your eyes off your belongings.  Be careful around ATMs.  Be on guard for pickpockets.  Same for all the other mentioned cities.  In other words, if you go to Mexico, do it on a cruise ship. A week from now we will be at Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica.  Actually paid for that tour, but will now no doub
