“Due to this situation, the State Department has given family members of officials at the U.S. Consulates in Nogales, Sonora; Tijuana; Ciudad Juarez; Nuevo Laredo; Monterrey; and Matamoros permission to temporarily move to the U.S. This new warning extends the authorization that was first issued in March.”

If the State Department is allowing its employees to return to the US, that’s good enough warning for me. Don’t take runnecessary risks. No travel is worth it.

The US State Department has a web page that lists known trouble spots and advises American travelers as to potential risk – via warnings and alerts.  I am curious to know how many people check these before planning travel and vacations?
