We spend a lot of time in Mexico but not in Puerto Vallarta. When there are incidents of this type things tend to get back to normal very quickly, usually in less than a week. Nobody, including the cartels, wants to kill tourism in their home towns.

I can't say what you should do, because I have no idea what's going on the ground there. But I have been in a situation where we decided not to cancel a trip. Lots of cancellations all around that weekend, means less business and we were treated very well.
