Traveling with Camera

Hi,
I will be visiting Rosarito and Puerto Nuevo, Mexico in a few days. I have never been to Mexico, but to my knowledge, these two places are tourist attractions, so they would be safer than somewhere like TJ. I will only be there for a day and only DURING THE DAY. I am interested in bringing my Digital Rebel. Should I worry about getting it stolen, damaged, etc.? Or should I just bring my point-and-shoot?

I've heard some bad stories, but I don't know how true they are.


Thanks!
Aaron

Neither place you're going to are as "scary" as some of the smaller towns. Don't be paranoid; but know what's around you (Like you would be in ANY city other than your own) and you'll be fine.

I assume you're either cruising or driving.

If you drive; BUY MEXICAN INSURANCE BEFORE you cross the border.

Thanks Tom. We are going to be driving down there. Probaly find some tacos, walk around the city and check out the environment. Hopefully I get some good shots.

Make sure you get insurance on your gear, too.

That way you get to not worry about the finacial loss should s**t happen.

check with your home insurance agent regarding coverage. It really is not that expensive.
