Mexico - Safety Concerns?

So obviously when Brian and I were researching destinations for our destination wedding, we had several criteria. We knew we wanted to go somewhere warm, that travel costs should be similar for everyone who planned to come, that we could rent a home (rather than stay in hotels), and let everyone have a vacation while coming to our wedding. Oh, and we also looked at safety. When we first started looking at Mexico the lovely swine flu was rising. Once again, folks were panicked about heading south of the border (although, really - you can catch that thing anywhere). Now the latest news from the US Government's newest travel warning for Mexico is out. And what does it say? Good news! They're not concerned about the resort towns, only specifically concerned with towns that border the US (pretty much the exact opposite of where we'll be). For additional details, I encourage you to check out this article from the Seattle Times (with link to the US Government advisory) http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/travelwise/2011358640_trpucci16.html?cmpid=2628 ...So no excuses about the safety folks! We'll see you in Mexico :)
