MEX and GDL layovers
My company used to have 24hr layovers in MEX and GDL but stopped a couple of years ago saying it was not safe. Now we do all night turns from LAX and SJC. Does any have regular layovers there? Where do you stay? How long? Do you have time to go out and explore? Any security issues?
I always enjoyed them and never felt threatened. I always went out and explored.
Thanks

so be careful when you go out in Mexico, If I am you, try to lay low, or just stay in your hotel room!

As far as other places in Mexico I try not to stand out. I don't wear my big pilot watch or pilot looking leather jacket. The best thing you can do is ask the hotel where the best places to go are but nothing is ever a sure thing.

Dang! Permanently? Are you at liberty to elaborate?
