What are your flight details for tomorrow looking like? The same fly today going out per the airlines site?

Best of luck man. Hang out, but be ready to honker down. Get your plan ready, and keep your head n a swivel.

I just can't believe this is happening in a country that is so "safe" that resorts often feature guards with machine guns!!!!

Who’s working with the cartels? China or London? Or both?

Why are Americans going to these Mexican tourist spots anyway now?

Mexico has so much more to offer for tourism, unfortunately it's no longer safe for Gringos to visit safely.

Because it’s the closest and most affordable “international” beach destination.

cheap and dangerous, but worth the risk?

he said "international" travel, lol ( From Dallas?)

Oh, and to the place where you want to send all of those here back to from the US, but they are cool when there for the low low.

Mexico needs tourists and would strike back against the cartels if they endanger that cash cow.



IT's just a matter of which is a bigger cash cow. Interesting days coming up.

lol Mexico is the most exotic travel destination many Americans ever go to their entire lives. That’s a big reason it’s so popular.

They've tried before and the cartels kicked the Mexican military's arse.

Yes, Mexico is beautiful, historic, was great to visit years ago. Mexico City, Taquila, Aztec Ruins, on and on.

Not so much now, and from Dallas, not really an international travel,

Gringos there, just like here enjoy the culture/food unless they live next door to you.

Oh for sure, me too. Im the wannabe comic during stressful times kind of guy.

He should actually start a thread to keep us updated, and a place for outside news to get posted too.

Killing a bunch of American tourist feels like the start to an epic FAFO moment.


Yea Biden isn’t president so killing American tourist for no reason will end up with Mexico becoming our territory and a lot of dead cartel members
