"Can't find anything on the mainstream media of course" ???
It's the front and center big headline story on CNN.com, CBSnews.com, NBCNews.com, WashingtonPost.com, WSJ.com, and FoxNews.com. It's on the front page in the top left position on BBC.com and MSNBC.com (so basically the 2nd biggest story, behind the one top center). ABCnews.com and NYtimes.com seem to be the only major sites I would consider mainstream that don't have it as one of their top stories.

I've though anyone vacationing in Mexico over the last decade was crazy
Drug cartels run that country, so you're taking a gamble anytime you visit.

They aren't looking to hurt what they consider customers--Americans.

That's the businesses, but I wouldn't have the same faith in the Cartels
Rumors say the US assisted the Mexican military in taking down that Cartel leader, so Americans are probably "fair game" now.

No, the cartels consider Americans customers. PV certainly isn't safe
right this second, but it's normally perfectly fine.

Americans have been requested to "remain in secure hiding"

Right. That's not close to the norm, and won't be in the future.

Been there at least 15 times over the past 10 years and never had an issue
but my son's honeymoon is scheduled for early May in Puerto Vallarta and I'll be keeping an eye on that situation for sure.

There is a virtual civil war involving the cartels, especially CJNG.
