When you see the name of the restaurant they are eating at, I'm sure the restaurant is paying for their lunches, dinners, etc. as free advertisement. Same with the trip to Mexico. So many Americans have stopped going to Mexico (me included) because of the dangers of cartel wars, so I have a sneaky suspicious the trip was all paid for by the excursion company and hotel that Meri and Kody stayed. They may have tried to make it look safe, but in no way would I travel there.
