Mexico Murdering Canadians.....

Why is it that Canadians are getting killed in Mexico?
Why is the Mexican Government covering it up?

There has been 4 incidents in Mexico, the country, in the past year involving violence against Canadians.

There was 78 Homicides in just Toronto last year.

Why is 4 incidents in Mexico creating a national panic in Canada?

Because the Mexican government and police forces are a bunch of asses.
Investigate the crime.
Find out who did it,
and do something about it.

That is all that is required. Then the rest of the world will say, "you know what, a tragedy happened but Mexico handled it right" and the world will continue to go on living.

But cover it up, make excuses, and now you are corrupt.
Mexico is terrified that these occurrences will hurt their tourism industry that they rely on so heavily for income.
But I say No, it is the way that they are handling the incidents that is effecting the tourism in Mexico.
People do not want to go to a country where they can be hurt, and the police will cover it up.

Come on Mexico, get it together and realize that you are hurting only yourselves. Punish the deserving, restore faith in your justice system, and people will come back.

If you do not, then you can kiss your tourism industry good bye because no one will want to come to your country when there are other safer destinations to go to that are just as nice....

Now moving onto the travellers.

Come on people, what are you doing? Do Not check your brain at the airport.

Human nature is to react. If you act like an idiot, there will be consequences regardless of where you are.
Being away from home, where, I got to tell you, Being a Canadian does not grant you amnesty, means that you should be on your best behaviour.
Don't act like you own the place because you paid more for one weeks accommodations than these people make in a month. Do not disrespect these people because they are not Rich Wonderful Canadians, because I got to tell you, you may think that you are Bill Gates because you have more money then the locals, but you are NOT better than them.
And you disrespect them, and like in any culture, someone, somewhere is bound to react. If it is the wrong person, then you may find yourself in a situation that you can not get out of.
That being said, if you are in a foreign country, or in Canada, behave yourself. If you are hitting on a large man's woman, and he has a bad temper, you will see it. Did you leave your brain at home?

In conclusion to my rant.

You know tragedies do occur. People get killed senselessly. Not matter what your crime, you do not deserve to be brutally beaten or killed.

So, Mexico, get it together before it is to late.
And Travellers, Have some respect.

March Break At Last!!!

Well it is Saturday Night,
I worked today to insure that if the sky did fall that I would be there to catch it!

Atlas I was, and fall it did not! The relief is overwhelming! Now it is smooth sailing until Hurricane Season in the Summer!

Why is it that Mother Nature insists on making my life stressful?? I keep reminding myself that I love my job, I love my job, I love my job, I love my clients, and I will not be undone by Mother Nature or the dim whits that work for my suppliers!!!

So what next? I feel like the weight is lifted...or not, now it is time to explain to people that you can not go to Europe last minute, and a 8 hour flight can not be purchased for $10.00! Some people make no sense to me!!!

To the last minute crowd,
do you really think that you can get 7 days of 24hr premium service, all your drinks, all your food, all your entertainment, and don't forget the flight for $500? PLEASE!!! That is less that $100 a day, you can't do that at home so why would you think that you could do it in the Caribbean? Get a life people, you get what you pay for, and to me $500 for a crappy resort, is still $500 wasted.

To the cruise crowd
Now you want a cruise where every day you will be somewhere new every morning, all your 5* meals, the service, Vegas style shows, and you want it for what $300.....

People, please take a moment and really think about this with some logic! I know that you work hard for your money, and it is my job to help you apply it to a great vacation, but like your car, your house and even your clothes, you can not get qualify for nothing,

You want the best, be prepared to spend a bit more money, you will never regret it!

Phew, I needed to vent that!!! Later!
