I'll give you a hint ... they're all places where drug dealers used to live (and there's a slide show).
I want nothing to fucking do with Mexico. Diarrhea and corrupt cops. That's all they got down there. That and bloodthirsty assassins who make it so that if you go there for vacation and come back with your head still attached to your neck it's considered a good trip. Fuck that. Send my ass to Costa Rica, the food ain't all that but at least the zip lines won't give me the runs.

P.S. Diarrhea is sneaky the hardest word in the English language to spell. Had legit zero clue there were two R's chilling in there until 20 seconds ago.

"How to Sleep on a Plane" by Virginia Heffernan - NYTimes.com
The ability to sleep on a plane is a talent. For some, it's god-given, others, like me, it takes work. I used to not be able to sleep a wink on planes. It was awful and would be a lot worse considering I fly a lot for my real job now. A lot of people booze on planes to get them to sleep, but that's horse shit. Booze doesn't help you on a plane. One drink may calm the nerves, but any more and you get cotton mouth in that air, and you have to piss, which if you're not in the aisle seat is just a huge pain in the ass. Particularly because I think airplane seatbelts are designed to squeeze the shit out of your bladder and make you have to go to the bathroom every half hour.
Here's my three tips for sleeping on a plane.
1. Seems self-explanatory but staying up late and getting up early the night before do wonders. You can't sleep if you're not tired.
2. Don't drink booze or lots of water, for aforementioned piss reasons.
3. Invest in Bose noise canceling headphones. They are expensive but they work like motherfuckers. Can't hear anything. My pops got them for me for Christmas last year and they're one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. Thanks Dad.
