For the US State Department's take--

Mexico - Security Travel Alert (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/pa/pa_4491.html - broken link)

Hello. I want all you Family people too listen up. You just do not move to Mazatlan and live happily ever after. Especially all of you who have a Christian value system. The public and private schools are vastly inferior to those in the United states, the medical system is in the same category. The Mexican culture is their culture, not yours. And they do not appreciate your intrusion into a society of poverty and ethno-centrism.Now, if you can deal with that, good luck! If you really care about your children, then wait until they are 18 teen and you move down to Mexico and realise your Anglo dream of retirement. In conclusion, US Travel Alerts are a reality-Not an Exaggeration.Signed by Me- A world traveller for 26 years

"A Christian value system" what are you talking about? the US can learn more about the Christain Value System from Mexicans.

Ugly ethno-centric gringos like you should stay in the trailer park.

Has Mazatlan the same climate as Vallarta or is it dryer and colder?

Found this...
It looks like it IS cooler than Vallarta, especially during the summer and early fall when Vallarta can be unbearably hot! But then Vallarta is definitely cooler than Acapulco, located much farther down the coast.
"Mazatlan Weather, Mexico

An enjoyable tropical climate!
Mazatlan weather, as most Mexico vacation spots, is very comfortable. Temperatures in Mazatlan during the day are regularly around 84 F, and the rainy season just takes a minor portion of the year.
Unlike Acapulco or Puerto Vallarta that share the same Pacific Coast, the Mazatlan climate is a bit different. In winter months temperatures can go down to 67 F in the mornings or at night, but then goes up again to approximately 80 F.

Don't let the 84 degrees fool you! The humidity their is tremendous. Dew point temp in the summer is usually around the high 70's. The winter months their though are quite pleasant because the dew points go way down compared to summer.

My Ex lives in Mazatlan and grew up there. He was up this way(Calif.) in Sept. and said it was the first time he felt safe going outside at night. He no longer feels safe going outside at night in Mazatlan. he said there are murders via beheading weekly in or around Mazatlan. FYI.

Why don't you just call them delusional and explain that Mazatlan is not in the border zone so they really have nothing to fear.
