45Doll 5,848 Posted March 27, 2022 Making plans for summer travel? If your plans include trips overseas review the following map. And make sure to scroll down the Legend on the right-hand side of the page to see the Travel Advisory Levels. All the Red countries are 'forget it'. How's Greenland looking?

Krdshrk 3,872 Posted March 28, 2022 I was just in Cancun/Playa del Carmen back in December - it's "elevated risk" but it's honestly not bad. They escalated the risk because of the cartel activity, but the cartels know not to mess with the tourist trade as that's so much of the income in the area.

"Honestly not bad" is you didn't have any problems when you where there. If your think the cartels are concerned about the tourist trade you're fooling yourself. If the cartels have a target they care shit from shinola about the tourist trade as they've shown in the past. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true - but seeing the hundreds if not thousands of people flowing through the Cancun airport with us at the same time - it wasn't bad at all... There's crap going on in the background wherever you go. I'd go to Cancun again, definitely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,134 Posted March 28, 2022 It's almost all red due to "Covid warnings". Obviously there are some dangerous areas for reasons other then "Covid" that you may want to think twice before visiting. Also, why would you allow the State Department to influence where you want to vacation? Wha'ts next? Taking advise from Fauci and the WHO? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't have any reference material attached to it for justification. Perhaps on the State Department web site they have detail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grapeshot 301 Posted March 29, 2022 Sure they do - click on Greece, and click more info. Basically COVID. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheflife15 454 Posted March 29, 2022 Gotcha. I'm currently in the process of planning my honeymoon. We were looking at cruises around Italy, Greece etc. I'll have to check this out later when I'm at a desktop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I tried it again a couple times and it did pop up an info box. So to atone for my sins, @Cheflife15 here's the link to the Greek info. Looks like the main issue was Covid-19. But the update is from last August. Greece Travel Advisory (state.gov) And thanks @Grapeshot 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,134 Posted March 29, 2022 When you click on a country a box pops up and you can click on "More Info". A new windrow will come up. There will be a title banner with the name off the country and the risk level. To the rigth will be one or a number of letters displayed for the threat level. If you hover the cursor over the letter it will give a short explanatiion. "H" is health. "C" is Crime. "T" is terrorism. "U" is Civil Unrest, etc, etc. Greece only has an "H". So if you aren't walking around with mask on here at home, you should be fine over there I would guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawnmower2021 423 Posted March 29, 2022 Yeah that map is pretty intense. We haven't been traveling, otherwise we'd love to spend time in Hawaii any time of year. Maui is our happy place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
