My son came to me a couple of years ago and said he was going to go with some friends to Mexico and then travel to Brazil for the World Cup - I gave him a hug - he asked what I did that for I said “Well there’s a good chance you won’t come back so I though I would get as many hugs in as I can”. - He didn’t end up going - one of his friends did but it was a corporate trip paid by his boss - my boy couldn’t afford that!
We have taken many trips to Mexico, most Texans have but after a couple of scary incidents we said never again.
