LMFAO — The Sky Is Not Falling 🇲🇽😂 If you scroll through some of the travel Facebook groups right now, you’d think Mexico just slid into the ocean. One incident. One headline. And suddenly it’s DEFCON 1: Cancun Edition. “Cancel everything!” “Sell the timeshare!” “Mexico is burning to the ground!” LMFAO. A Little Perspective (From People Who’ve Seen Some Stuff) We spent three years in Panama when things were actually… spicy. Real spicy.

But after stacking several close together, something started to feel… repetitive. Same format. Same flow. Same balcony views (beautiful, but still ocean).
