| Q. | Do you think the US Secretary of State should issue a TRAVEL ADVISORY for the Netherland Antilles Islands? | Related Search:
Current Events | | | Are you will to write a letter to the Secretary of State Condolezza Rice, requesting a TRAVEL ADVISORY be issued for the Netherland Antilles Islands, especially since Amy Lynn Bradley (missing since 1998) and Natalee Ann Holloway (missing since 2005) have not been found? What other suggestion do you have for the families to assist the families in locating their daughters? Do you think the United States of America should "BOYCOTT" the Netherland Antilles and the Kingdom of the Netherlands? Would you be willing to participate in a Boycott Demonstration in Washington DC at the Kingdom of the Netherlands' Embassy?
| | A. | Why should anybody care?
Seriously... two women - out of millions - have disappeared? Who cares?! | | | |
| Q. | Is it still just and good to abide by the discouraging "TRAVEL ADVISORY" regarding Nepal? | Related Search:
Nepal | | | So many countries have discouraged their citizens regarding "TRAVEL IN NEPAL". It might have been just and beneficial to the travellers and the travel-host country in the past when there was not peaceful situation in Nepal. But, its been almost two years that Nepal has overcome its arm-conflict and it is very peaceful now. So, in my opinion we should not not think more about Nepal and traveling around it.
| | A. | Well, if there are still travel advisories issued, then there must be some intelligence that proves the area may still not be safe for citizens of that nation to travel there. An advisory is just that, advice. If you're truly itching to go to Nepal, and feel you know you'll be safe, then make plans to do so, but most importantly, make sure you inform your embassy. Inform the embassy of your trip's schedule, where you'll go, what you'll do, a person to contact in case of emergency, etc. Informing them helps to protect you, just in case something does happen.
We won't always know every reason why a government issues a travel advisory for countries (some of it may be top secret), but logging your trip with the embassy there is a great idea if you are determined to go there. | | | |
| Q. | Do you think the gov. should issue a travel advisory when travelling to Mexico? | Related Search:
Other - Mexico | | | I heard on the news that this couple was in a hit and run. It left the woman dead and the man with serious injury in the hospital. How safe do you feel when travelling to mexico? And do you think this thing happens far to often to tourists travelling to mexico? And do you wonder if this was a setup? And do you trust the mexico police to do a proper investigation on this matter? And is it worth putting your life on the line for a vacation to mexico because you save a few dollars? Come people I want to know how you feel, give me your voice!
| | A. | The US Government does issue travel adviories about Mexico when they believe there is a problem. Usually a border town with abnormally high drug wars going on. They issued one concerning traveling to Oaxaca since the protestors closed down the city center. So yes they do issue travel warnings. Now you are asking about a travel warning because of a hit and run accident? I don't see how one accident reported by the US media would be cause for alarm. While it is sad and unfortunate, it is not a reason to deter anyone from traveling.
Take a look around you in the USA. How many hit and run accidents with deaths do you hear about each year? How many gang drive by shootings do you read about in the newspapers? How many child abductions do you hear about each month? How many Amber Alerts do you see scroll across the TV screen?
My point is, that no place on the face of the earth is safe. Or that every place is as safe as you make it. Believe me the sky is not falling no matter how hard the media trys to paint that picture.
Mexico is a wonderful place. I found out from my Mexican friends that if someone is bad and will take advantage of me, my friends are not safe from that person either.
I was staying in Mexico in a hotel I have stayed many times in the past and many times since. This one day about 15 rooms were broken into and the wall safes were robbed. This guy only went for the cash, credit cards, and traveler's checks. Not the cameras, lap tops, or other things. Of the 15 or so rooms that were broken into only two belonged to American's, the rest were Mexican tourists.
In order to report the crime we had to go to the Mexican Police Station. After we gave the affidavit they came to investigate. Their CSI people dusted for prints and photographed the crime scenes.
Now about the money I lost. Traveler's checks were replaced within 24 hours. My cash that was lost, I was able to prove about 90% of it. I filed a claim with the hotel, and their insurance company reimbursed me. But I was lucky since I kept records of the withdrawal and could provide hard copy evidence to them. Yes it was work, but worth it.
Then there are the times in the USA when my truck was stolen, my house was burglarized, I was robbed at gun point at an ATM, my truck was broken into and the stereo stolen. You want more of the bad that occurs here in the USA?
My point is this. Bad things happen everywhere. And GOOD THINGS HAPPEN EVERYWHERE.
I have one friend. He and I could do everything the same in traveling and he would have problems, see all the bad, and have something to complain about.
I would not see problems but challenges and opportunites. I would see the good and while there is always something to complain about, I look at it as more of an adventure.
Really the choice is your's? Are you a negative looking person? Or are you a positive looking person? If you are the least bit negative, do not travel unless you take pride in being able to complain and gripe about things. Otherwise if you are positive get up and go. Take everything with a grain of salt. Life happens, nothing is risk free, and when it is your turn, it is your turn no matter how peaceful or violent it is.
Good luck and enjoy! | | | |

| Q. | What do you think of our fellow Americans who insist on going to a foreign country despite travel advisory.? | Related Search:
Government | | | Thousands of Americans insisted on going to Lebanon although our State Department had repeatedly warned them of the dangers in that country. Now that they get caught in the crossfire they screamed to be rescued and blamed the state department for their inconvenience and of not rescuing them fast enough. You hear nothing but whinning and bickering about every little thing from some people who expected us the taxpayers to reimburse them for their air fares home. Many refused to leave and if they get hurt it's the US government's fault.
| | A. | Its all part of being free. Free to do as you choose, and with that freedom comes the responsibility for your own actions. For some reason, most people seem to forget about that responsibility part... They just want the freedom. | | | |
| Q. | Travel Advisory for Mexico. Is this country safe for tourists or should be boycott it? | Related Search:
Other - Mexico | | | The Canadian and American Governments should issue travel warnings to Mexico not just adviseries. It is obvious that the police are corrupt and probably help commit the crimes. They try to cover them up. How can a person show so much blunt force trauma to different parts of his body and be on life support falling from a second floor balcony? We need to stop giving our tourist dollars to Mexico until they correct this corruption and attack on tourists.
Princess for someone who claims to be educated you aren't up to date on your current events. And you are the one that is crapped out in your thinking.
Yes we peaceful Canadians are getting attacked because we are tourists. I guess others wouldn't care because they are used to violence and it is part of their culture maybe?
Put yourself in the position of these people who have been assaulted or had family of friends murdered there then tell me what you think. John Mitchell you are way to bias.
| | A. | I don't know how many Canadians are answering. Judging by some of the answers only me and one other. It seems that we cannucks are hearing about assaults and murders of our countrymen in Mexico. They go as tourists and come back either in robbed, in casts or in caskets. And 3 of the murders are unsolved and the latest attack as you said is just a ploy to not scare tourists. I have travelled to the Caribbean but I have yet to go to Mexico until the corrupt and inefficiency of the police is corrected. | | | |
