I know that time will be here before I know it. I don't have anyone as of yet to accompany me, and I think that is where part of the nervousness stems from. I have heard a lot of scary stories but I'm hoping for a safe uneventful trip and hoping to meet and make a new friend or two along the way. I'm learning so much from you guys and taking in as much as I can take in. I look forward to interacting with you all and the support we can all offer to one another!

    Hello,

    First thing Welcome! I went to Mexico by myself, I was nervous, scared, and every other emotion
    That you can imagine!
    Surgery went great for me, Dr. Almanza was great! His english was good! He had four surggeries that day, at 2:30PM one of the drivers took you shopping, don't go with the first or second price.
    At the check in counter, there plenty of jello, popicles, and coupons for broth, just ask. I met some wonderful Ladies!! We went walking, shopping, checked on each other.

    I was nervous also! I said a prayer! Then I said I Got This! It's my tIme!

    Take Care

    Thanks! I totally agree. I kind of wish mine was sheduled that soon, because I am anxious now but all things in due time. I have my flight and everything booked and my boss approved my time off so I am good to go. I will look for updates on your journey. Very nice to meet you.

    Thank you for commenting. I feel a little better about going by myself. Question: You mentioned coupons for broth. How does that work? I was a little worried about bringing extra money with me. I have heard stories of people being robbed or having things disappear from their hotel room.
