Hey Matt,
As far as places to check out that you're near now, I would recommend Guadalajara, Tequila (it's a fun little town, worth a few hours and a tour of a tequila distillery), Guanajuato and Queretaro. Michoacan is a lovely state that has gotten a bad reputation but is worth seeing if you stick to the main roads and more touristy places like Patzcuaro, Janitzio, Santa Maria del Cobre and Morelia.
I would avoid the state of Guerrero completely. I live in the state of Mexico and I avoid going to Guerrero at all costs.
I have a free week next week and am looking for something to do, maybe we could meet in Guanajuato. Send me a message. I'm also planning to travel south towards Panama starting December 19th.
Stay safe,
Brian
