¡Viva la SimpliZIHdad!

I'm in Vancouver BC and have been going to Zihua for decades. We used to fly to Mexico City and then to Zihua...took forever. sometimes caught a ride on a PV charter and flew from there. Alasaka Air started flying a 6 am flight to LAX then change planes and fly direct to Zihua. Early but we would arrive in Zihua in time for a swim in the ocean, shower and up to the sunset bar for a sunset margarita. Then Alaska stopped but Air Canada and Westjet stepped in non stop to Zihua, reasonable departure hour but twice a week and only winter months.
anyway I've been thinking about lot about Zihua and the changes over the decades. I started thinking about other places in Mexico to go but there's something about Zihua and La Ropa that resonates deep in my soul. And I have never felt unsafe there...travelling with another or solo. I hear a great deal about the violence and crime but haven't as yet had any bad experiences. However I just read on the other chat page that a person returned from Mexico City to his home in Zihua to find his caretaker lying in a pool of blood, apparently murdered.
As I am skeptical of all things on the internet I wasn't certain if this was true, but further posts indicate that this gruesome and sad report is true.
I will be in Zihua over the xmas holidays but I am seriously thinking this will be my last time. So Timmac if you have suggestions of a Zihua replacement do tell! Feels like the entire west coast has turned into one American style resort. I'm certain there are exceptions but they are no doubt enclaves for the very wealthy. But hope does spring eternal as Alex the poet says.
And onward we go.
