I ka wā hoʻomaha hoʻomaha ʻo Mexico i ka mahina i hala ma Puerto Vallarta, ʻo Bill lāua ʻo Julie Heitz o ke komohana komohana ʻo Glen Ellyn e kaʻa ana i ka ʻaina ahiahi me kekahi mau hoaaloha nona ka manawa ma kēia wahi mākaʻikaʻi kaulana.
Ma mua koke o ka hōʻea ʻana i ko lākou hale ʻaina, ua huki ʻia ʻo Bill Heitz, 67, e nā kāne ʻekolu i ka lole makai. Eia kāna moʻolelo o ka mea i hana ʻia:
Me ka hoʻolele ʻana i ka lāʻau lāʻau, hoʻoneʻe akula kekahi o nā luna iā Heitz ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui. Piʻi akula ka luna i ke kaʻa hoʻolimalima o Heitz a haʻi iā ia e kiʻi ana ʻo ia i tiketi no ka holo ʻana i kahi hōʻailona hoʻomaha.
Ua haʻi ʻo Heitz i ka luna ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ʻike i kahi hōʻailona hoʻomaha a ke hahai wale nei ʻo ia i ke kaʻa i mua ona ma ke alahaka. Ua huki ʻia kēlā kaʻa me nā palapala laikini Mekiko a me ka mea i ʻike ʻia he ʻohana Mekiko. Akā, ua hoʻokuʻu koke ka mākaʻi i kēlā kaʻa. Manaʻo ʻo Heitz e ʻimi ana nā mākaʻi i nā mākaʻikaʻi, ʻaʻole nā kamaʻāina.
Ua lawe ka luna i ka laikini kaʻa o Heitz a haʻi iā ia he 800 pesos ($62). Hiki iā ia ke uku i ka lā aʻe ma kahi mamao loa, ma ka ʻākau o ke kahua mokulele.
"Ua nīnau kaʻu wahine inā he ala e hiki ai iā mākou ke uku i ka uku i kēia pō," i hoʻomanaʻo ai ʻo Heitz.
No ke aha ʻae, wahi a ka luna. Hiki iā ia ke uku ma ʻaneʻi, i kēia manawa: 500 pesos.
"Ua hāʻawi aku au iā ia i 500 pesos," wahi a Heitz. "Ua hāʻawi mai ʻo ia iaʻu i kaʻu laikini. ʻAʻohe tiketi.
Ma Mekiko, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ka "mordida," a i ʻole nahu - he kīpē i uku ʻia no ka puka ʻana i waho o ka wai wela me nā luna pono ʻole, ka mea i ʻike ʻia e hoʻopiʻi i nā hoʻopiʻi hoʻopunipuni kūʻē i nā mākaʻikaʻi - a me nā kamaʻāina.
“ʻAʻole au i makemake e hana pū me kēia poʻe; ʻO ka uku ʻana i ka $42 me he mea lā ʻo ia ke ala maʻalahi loa i waho o ia mea, "wahi a Heitz, ka mea i hoʻi i ke alahele ma hope o ka ʻaina ahiahi. ʻAʻohe hōʻailona kū.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole pili kēia ʻano palaho iā Mexico.
Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i ka hilinaʻi ʻana i kaʻu kula kiʻekiʻe Kelemania i ka wā o ka hoʻokūkū hoʻōho me kekahi mau mākaʻi kekee ma kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo Czech Republic i kēia manawa, ma hope koke iho o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka pā hao. 'Ōlelo lākou e holo wikiwiki ana au. ʻAʻole wau. I ka pau ʻana o nā huaʻōlelo Kelemania, ʻaʻole wau i makemake i ka ʻoki ʻana i 20 mau māka deutsche. Ua hoʻihoʻi mai lākou iaʻu i kaʻu passport a hoʻouna iaʻu i koʻu ala me kahi "Guten tag!"
ʻOiai ʻaʻohe wahi o ka honua i pale ʻole i nā luna malu e nānā ana e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ko lākou mau lima, ʻo ka mordida o Mexico he mea kaulana loa. Ua ʻike ʻia ka pūnaewele puni honua o ka Moku'āina ʻo ʻAmelika "ua lilo nā ʻAmelika i mea hoʻomāinoino, hoʻomāinoino a ʻaihue ʻia e nā luna kānāwai Mekiko a me nā luna ʻē aʻe."
Manaʻo ke Keʻena Moku'āina e lawe nā ʻAmelika i ka inoa o kahi luna, ka helu hōʻailona a me ka helu kaʻa patrol inā makemake lākou e waiho i kahi hoʻopiʻi, a hoʻomanaʻo i ka poʻe kipa "ʻo ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke kīpē i kahi luna aupuni e pale aku i kahi tiketi a i ʻole ka hoʻopaʻi ʻē aʻe he hewa ia ma Mexico. .”
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Claudia Quiroz, he waha ʻōlelo no ka Consulate Mekiko ma Chicago, ua uku ʻia nā uku no nā tiketi kaʻa ma Mexico ma ke keʻena mākaʻi kūloko - ʻaʻole loa i kahi mākaʻi pololei. Inā noi ka luna iā ʻoe e uku i ka uku ma ia wahi, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Quiroz e hōʻole ʻoe me ka ʻoluʻolu a noi i ka tiketi. Inā he hoʻopunipuni nā hoʻopiʻi, ʻaʻole makemake ka luna e ʻimi hou aku.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Quiroz ʻo ka pilikia mordida "e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, mālie akā ʻoiaʻiʻo," akā pono nā mākaʻikaʻi e lilo i ʻāpana o ka hopena ma ka hōʻole ʻana i ka pāʻani kīpē a "pili i ke ala kūpono e hana ai."
"Ke hana nui nei ʻo Mexico e hoʻopau me kēia hana," i hoʻohui ai ʻo ia.
I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Mexico City i kahi hotline palaho - 089 - hiki i nā malihini a me nā kamaʻāina ke kāhea aku e hana i kahi hōʻike inoa ʻole e pili ana i nā hana hōʻino i ka mana ma ke kapikala o ka ʻāina.
Ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Baja Kaleponi ʻo Mexico, ke hana nei nā luna i nā hoʻolālā no kahi mākaʻi ʻōlelo ʻelua, ka mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi e mākaʻikaʻi i kahi alahele mākaʻikaʻi 50 mile mai Tijuana ma Playas de Rosarito a hiki i Ensenada. Kāhea ka hoʻolālā i nā mākaʻi o San Diego e kōkua i ke aʻo ʻana i nā luna.
ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana ʻaʻole kōkua ʻo mordidas i ka mākaʻikaʻi - ke kolu o ka ʻoihana nui loa ma Mexico - ua hui pū ka hui pilikino i ka hakakā.
"Ma nā kūlanakauhale ʻo Cancun a me Riviera Maya ua hoʻoikaika pū ʻia ma waena o nā hui hoʻolimalima kaʻa a me nā luna kūloko e hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai hoʻolimalima kaʻa me ka ʻike i kēlā me kēia kaʻa e hōʻike iā lākou inā e huki ʻia lākou no ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he hewa kaʻa kaʻa. Manaʻo ʻia lākou e hāʻawi ʻia i ʻelua mau ʻōlelo aʻo ma mua o ka hoʻopuka ʻia ʻana o ka ʻōlelo a me ka maikaʻi, "wahi a Alberto Gomez, he luna me Avis ma Mexico.
Ua hopu ʻia nā mākaʻi o Cancun i kahi kūlana hilahila ma mua o kēia makahiki i ke koi ʻana o nā luna i $300 (US) mai ka mea hoʻokele kaʻa hoʻolimalima i piha i ʻelima mau mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika - ʻo kekahi o lākou he senator mokuʻāina mai Minnesota.
I ka hoʻi ʻana mai o Sen. Michelle Fischbach i ka home mai ka hoʻomaha, ua kākau ʻo ia i kahi leka i ke kuhina nui o Cancun e wehewehe ana i ka mea i hana ʻia. Ua pani ʻia nā mākaʻi hewa, a ua hoʻouna ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Cancun i kahi leka iā Fischbach no ka like me $300.
Manaʻo nā luna mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Mexico ʻo ka mordida ka mea ʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole ke kānāwai.
"I ka makahiki 2008 ua loaʻa iā mākou he 18 miliona mau mākaʻikaʻi ʻAmelika," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Rodrigo Esponda, ka luna o Midwest no ka Papa Hoʻokele ʻo Mexico. "No kēlā nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi, lohe mākou, kakaʻikahi loa e pili ana i kēia. ʻOiaʻiʻo, manaʻo wau ʻaʻole ia he pilikia maʻamau.
Paipai ʻo Esponda i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e manaʻo nei ua hana hewa ʻia lākou e hōʻike i kekahi o nā keʻena ʻeono o Mexico Tourism Board ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻea i ka lālā ʻo Chicago ma ke kelepona ʻana (312) 228-0517, ext. 15, a i ʻole leka uila [pale ʻia ka leka uila].
ʻAʻole ʻeha ka makaʻala ʻana i ke keʻena Consulate US ma Mexico. Hiki ke loaʻa nā leka uila a me nā helu kelepona no kēlā mau keʻena ma ka pūnaewele mexico.usembassy.gov/eng/edirectory.html.
"Mahalo nui mākou i ka manaʻo," wahi a Esponda. "Makemake mākou i kēlā me kēia mākaʻikaʻi e iho ana i Mexico e loaʻa kahi ʻike leʻaleʻa - a ʻo ka hapa nui."
Me ka nahu ʻia e ka mordida, ʻo ko Heitz kipa ʻana i Puerto Vallarta ʻo ia wale nō: he mea ʻoluʻolu loa.
“Maikaʻi loa nā poʻe. Ua hoʻokipa nā mea kālepa a pau, "wahi āna. “E hoʻi hou au i laila. Akā ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu e hoʻokele wau.
