LacieMC 136 Posted January 17, 2012 I made it! Hector picked us up from the airport and it was smooth sailing! This hotel is beautiful and the broth is really good. It tastes homemade! I will be picked up at 6:45 am for surgery with Dr. Garcia. We had an absolute blast in Tijuana today!!! I'm still looking for the perfect Loius Vuitton to complete my knock-off collection...there are soo many to choose from! Tip: You have to ask for the Loius by name since they are very illegal here....all the other knock offs are displayed proudly. The store keepers bring you into the back and uncover them...and it really is a religious experience! I am feeling very safe and have enjoyed the day. We had our pictures taken with a scantilly clad mannequin dressed as a nurse holding a large Viagra sign! This is just stuff you can't plan. Note: I was unaware of the presence of Zebras in Mexcio, however we have seen four on the streets you can have your picture taken with. Since I have limited first-hand zebra knowledge, it wasn't until we got close that we realized they were just spray painted donkeys! We laughed so hard we almost peed our pants!!! I also stopped at a street vendor who made the most fantastic Bracelet "in less than 5 min" as advertised. He used my sons name and football number. so fricken cool to see this in person. the man was a string ninja!!! Anyway...just settling down and getting ready for the big day! I just wanted to update you all. 1 ShoeLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleeved&Hopeful 182 Posted January 18, 2012 I almost went with Dr. Garcia but he wouldn't take a credit card payment. I know that sounds stupid but I couldn't pay any other way. Please let us know how your surgery goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleeved&Hopeful 182 Posted February 22, 2012 Really?? I planned on paying via cc. I will have to double check that with my coordinator! Thanks for the heads up It might be different with a coordinator. I was going directly through him and had to send a bank wire and not a cc payment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
