Ed, If they 'give it up' for me, there I go!

Like sports statistics geeks, InternationalLiving.com runs the numbers on eight different factors to come up with an annual ranking of the best countries for retirees. This year, Mexico came in third, just barely behind Panama and Ecuador. (The U.S.? #15. The U.K.? #22.)

Here are the top ten, with numerical scores on a scale of 100:

Ecuador - 81
Panama - 80
Mexico - 79
France - 78
Italy - 78
Uruguay - 77
Malta - 76
Chile - 76
Spain - 75
Costa Rica - 75

The challenge, I believe, is that you have to feel okay about giving up Medicare.

Darryl
You're right.

You can do it for free just by walking across the border in TJ or Juarez. I would imagine the tour guide would probably have to pay for protection on the tour like this so I wouldn't do it solely on the grounds that my fee would be going to support those criminals.

Good morning, world. Last night some friends were discussing a new tourism craze in Mexico: Entrepreneurs are leading tourists through neighborhoods rife with violent crime and drug wars. One of them is thinking of taking one of these tours, but I, normally, an adventurous traveler, advised him not to. What do you know about it, and what would you say?

Saludos, John

Darryl, it was as claustrophobic as if they were burying me. Hmm, there's probably a reason for that.

Here's a blast from the past...Puerto Vallarta on The World on Wheels. Older report but with new pictures added. One of our favorite beach destinations. Hint: for the best beaches, head south of town: http://tinyurl.com/yerxbf2
