I was a little scared, too when we went on New Year's Day. We stayed close to the hotel, and only went out in the day. I have to go back now because of a leaking band. My husband is not going to be able to go back with me because he is in the Army National Guard and they have put a travel ban on Mexico because of the heightened violence. If I were you I would just stay in the hotel and not venture out.
I might be there the day you are!
