Vicente Fox took over the presidency of Mexico in December 2000, bringing down the curtain on 70 years of one-party rule. Many voters believed they had elected exactly the right person to shake this country out of its perpetual mediocrity and put it firmly on the path to first-world nation status. They felt Mexico finally had a dynamic leader who could make his presence felt both at home and abroad, someone who with a wave of a wand could end endemic corruption, lift Mexico out of the mire of poverty and ensure jobs and prosperity for all. |

An attorney sent an email of material that, he said, may have "been around before, but it's always a good reminder." He suggests you may not have established these habits of wise protection at the core of your modern, urban survival instincts. He suggests you make a copy of this material for your Reminder File.

Much has been made in recent years of how dangerous it is to travel to Mexico. Well, I not only travel there but this past year I spent five months living there at the condo my husband and I purchased in Puerto Vallarta in February 2003. Admittedly, I am biased towards Mexico, having lived on their Gulf Coast for two years in the mid-80s when my husband's work took us to the state of Veracruz. We made many friends and had such wonderful experiences that life has never been the same since.
