I'll check with my daughter's brother in law who just returned from a trip to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico (to visit anthropological sites, etc.)

Our son travels to Mexico City on business as a consultant. He said it was old, obviously, but so far his visits have been fine. He flew down on the Dreamliner. I think that plane has some issues.

My husband has a friend who returns to Cancun often and our N.J. nephew, ditto. They also traveled to see ancient ruins while on vacation in Cancun.

As long as you stay in resorts, you probably will be fine. I have heard warnings that people should NOT drive , say from Arizona down through Mexico.....as one never knows what might happen on the highways.

I'll check re the Yucatan Peninsula.
