Obey the laws they are very similar to the US ....dont leave your brain at the border ...dont be an ass in mexico and treat the people there like you want to be treated ...you will find they are very nice ....dont be a cheap skate ....tip waiters and witresses like you do here in the US most are working for tips only and you will see things are not all that cheap for them just because its mexico.

Any other comments...feel free to ramble!
Mexico is a great place to see visit and have fun ....respect thier rules and customs dont drink to much and if you do dont drive ....Dont Litter I see Americans throwing trash and beer bottles along the roads all the time have some respect for their land ...learn some spanish its fun to try and converse everyone will usually get a good laugh....you will find that if you act like a responsible person you will never have any problems in Rocky Point ....its the drunk high school and college kids that get into trouble along with a few drunk adults my experience is the locals are pretty tollerent even during spring break but sometimes the party gets out of hand and goes too far and then the news reports the problems ....but you will find that there is no reason to worry Rocky Point is a great place and they like the Tourists there it drives thier economy
