Mexico sometimes garners attention for all the wrong reasons. Headlines often spotlight crime, gang activity, or even natural dangers like intense waves — so much so that those considering a trip to Mexico might decide against it. But like many locations, some areas are harder hit by criminal activity than others. Mexico is a huge country, after all — in fact, it's the 14th largest in the world when measured by size and 10th in population. So, while it's worthwhile to be vigilant in your planning, if you want to play it safe and enjoy a Mexican vacation that provides peace of mind, consider its safest town, Merida, and all it has to offer travelers.

The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint: A River by Many Names. This extensive river system stretches 430 miles, snaking through three states - Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. In the system's upper reaches, it's known as the Chattahoochee River, flowing through the bustling city of Atlanta. As it meanders southward and forms part of the Georgia-Florida border, it transforms into the Flint River. Finally, upon converging with the Flint, it becomes the Apalachicola River, gracefully emptying into the Gulf of Mexico at Apalachicola Bay.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
