comment General security concerns about Cancun, Mexico
@Flimzy The first link in my answer contains numerous stories of Canadians killed in and near Cancun. It's a nice theory, that you're safe in a tourist town, and it's probably true, but "zero in decades" is most definitely not true. The police are happy to record beating deaths as accidents to make Cancun look safer, but that's not the same as being safer.

comment US Visas: O and P
It's not about immigrating, it's about visiting. Travelling to. What visa you need is on topic.

comment US Visas: O and P
I don't disagree about the lawyer, but if you're going to make $40 or $50 a night for 7 or 8 gigs, after gas money to drive from town to town you're realistically not going to afford legal advice. I would settle for knowing what the written rules are in this case.

comment Crossing from US into Canada as a European tourist with a rental car
If the rental car people say you can't take the car across the border, you could always just walk across the bridge (travel.stackexchange.com/questions/2007/… ) and walk back later - but have proof you intend to continue your vacation in the US

comment UK places that offer visitors a chance to wear medieval armor and clothes?
I had thought it was SouthSea where I saw the costumes for anyone to try on, but perhaps it was Carisbrooke after all! Castles generally belong to English Heritage rather than the National Trust, btw.
