Be careful going off with locals/taxi drivers. I’ve heard of potential violence when they take u into their cities.

@@keithmoore6334 Yikes...I haven't heard that but that's definitely scary!

@@FamilyAtSea I have friends who were in Mexico and they took a cab at night to a local club and they were forced to buy bottles of liquor before they were allowed to leave. Or else was the proposition. Unreasonable charges for the liquor too. Beware.

Great tips! Thank you and keep up the good work😊

Great tips 👌. Yeah taxi's are awful for getting tourists at ports. We do Uber or bolt wherever possible. Crossbody bags are best, ladies get rid of purses that sling on shoulder. I use a crossbody bag on days out, but on travel days I also have a backpack. We use caribiners, and luggage padlocks connecting zippers. That way we can move safely through terminals without concern. Be aware of your surroundings. And when being approached by someone say no, and walk away if necessary. And never make change for anyone, ever!! They want to see where you get your money from.
