Ted Cruz has been slammed for joking that Texans should “join me in Cancun” as the state braces for a deep freeze.
“Texans, with the freeze coming, wrap your pipes, cover your plants, stay off icy roads & keep your family safe. And, if it gets too damn cold, join me in Cancun!” he wrote on X.
Have fun. Watch out for vendors trying to sell you stuff before you even leave the airport. Only go on tours through your hotel. Mostly to avoid getting ripped off.
It’s pretty safe down there. Last trip my spouse and I wandered around Tulum no problem. It’s a ways down the coast from Cancun hotel zone. But it was fun seeing some less touristy areas.
The Mayan ruins at Coba, Tulum, and Chichén Itzá are pretty neat if you’re into that. Tulum is the smallest but not too difficult to get to. The other two are inland and will be a bit of a trip.
If you drink alcohol and have never had one before try a paloma. Bonus points for going with tajin on the glass rim. I’m a huge fan. Been drinking those for years after a friend who grew up in Mexico taught me. But I enjoy grapefruit and spicy food which I realize isn’t common.
Ty for the info. I’m pretty good with situational awareness, so, not really stressed about safety.
