By: Charlie Reeves, Gaytravel.com

There are many concerns about safety and Swine Flu throughout Mexico.? I just returned from a week in Cancun and can tell you from first-hand experience if those worries are holding you back from visiting this amazing destination ? you are missing out!

I met up with Ron Kuijpers for a quick interview, owner of GayToursMexico, a division of Maya Moon Tours SA de CV, who answered many of my questions and cleared up a great deal of misconceptions.

Charlie:? How long have you lived here and what can you tell me about serious violence in Cancun?

Ron:? I have lived here for 18 years and I can tell you the drug cartel related violence is much further north of Cancun near the borders.? There are no major ports in Cancun so you will not find that kind of activity here.? Cancun government and locals are dedicated to tourism and safety.

Charlie: From what I have seen so far I have to concur.? I was walking on the beach late at night and felt very safe.

Ron: Like any destination, visitors always need to use caution to prevent minor theft and such but as far as kidnappings and even worse crimes, like I said; Cancun isn

Hurry up, Aries! Your big birthday approaches, leaving you with a long to do list of "coulda, woulda, shoulda's." Luckily, energy is high this month giving you the extra boost you need to succeed. Check your moods. Just because it's your party doesn't mean you can be snippy without consequences.

Attack, Taurus! You've been battling your goals for a long time. Now is the time to bring it on. Quit making excuses, and charge ahead. You'll pull other along for the ride if you commit, leaving you all in a better spot than before.

Amuse yourself, Gemini. Feeling stuck in a creative slump? Go out an explore. The stars are pulling you in artistic directions this month. Follow where they lead you and you'll find unexpected joys. Careful! Keep things quiet until the time is right.

Get moving, Cancer! You've spent enough important thinking time in Lalaland. Spring is the time to spring into action. That supercrush isn't going to seduce himself. Show the world what you've got. You're ready.

Look at you, Leo! You are on the prowl this month and turning heads all over town. If you're going to walk, you may as well strut this month. Boosts of mid-month confidence leave you feeling large, in charge, and downright sassy.

Use your head, Virgo. Call upon your signature practicality. You'll need it this month. Drowning in a sea of ridiculousness? Only you will have the answers. State them calmly and loudly and people will follow you out of any mess.

Break free, Libra! Tired of being a two-some? Is the love of your life taking over your life. Don't rush into anything crazy, but find new ways to increase your independence this month. You'll get much more accomplished flying solo. An end of the month burst of sexual energy rewards your partner for being patient this month.

Try it, Scorpio.! The planets encourage you to experiement this month as your curiosity is at its peak. Now is the perfect time to try that crazy thing you never dared before. Be bold and stop over-thinking and you'll learn a valuable lesson or two and have some great stories to share.

Rewind, Sagittarius. So that big idea blew up in your face? Mr. Right turned out to be Mr. Wrong? You're due for a new beginning. Start with a clean slate and move ahead. Look for the silver lining and you may discover something, or someone, you had forgotten about. Pleasant surprises abound this month if you know where to look.

Get over it, Capricorn. Let it go. You've been fighting a losing battle for a while now. Wave your flag of defeat and move on. A mid-month boost of energy helps you find a much happier and healthier path, and possibly a new romance or two. Keep your eyes open and focuses on the future.

Simmer down, Aquarius. For a water sign, you certainly are firey this month. Watch out for your own temper or it will burn you (and those you love this month.) Channel all that extra sass into something more constructive like writing. Spending more time with a calm loved one will cool your moods and warm your heart.

Say please, Pisces. This is a month full of opportunity, but you will need others' help to get it. Be sure to show off your most gracious self this month. A little manners go a long way toward getting what you want. Kill them with kindness and they will reward you in more ways than one.
