Sad Truth

You can argue about the root cause of the extreme violence all you want, but here’s the bottom line for our family. We have been coming to Z for 13 years with our children. Several times I have wondered whether making the decision to vacation in Z was unsafe, but we came anyway and enjoyed our week to 10 day stays with no problems.

However, the frequency of these shootings is alarming. More importantly these shootings are occurring in parts of town that we routinely frequent and at times when we could likely be there. We will miss playing in the bay, our friends at the hotel, the local restaurants and Rossi’s.

That said, sorry, but after 13 years Z is off our list. Can’t risk the safety of my family.

Can't blame you one bit.

I highly regret that our "responsible authorities" at all levels have failed miserably in their obligation to provide a level of public security that allows people to feel safe, especially visitors to communities whose economies are dependent on tourism such as ours.
