SoCalDixieGal 172 Posted February 9, 2013 Heading south tomorrow (Sunday)! Packed my super tiny light weight suitcase (10 lbs packed!) so no lifting issues for me and nearly ready to go. I live by myself and am going solo so I've been in a cleaning frenzy today. Yard work and laundry done and everything sparkling clean. Now my distractions are done and it's time for me to just be anxious! Only downside is the border crossing into Mexico is at a high alert and is taking lots of time due to the horrible manhunt we have going on in Southern California. Ex cop killed several people and is on the loose. Uhm, so yeah, it's safer in Mexico. Looking forward to being on the other side! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoCalDixieGal 172 Posted February 10, 2013 It just strikes me as ironic that people are afraid to go to Mexico yet tend to ignore the violence in their own backyard! I'm only about an 1 1/2 hour drive from the San Diego airport so a good friend is driving me down. We'll chat up a storm along the way! My kindle though is loaded with all sorts of good books I've been waiting to read. And the Ambien is ready to help me get a good night sleep (doctor said it was okay). Going to go jump in the hot tub to unwind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted February 10, 2013 I'm planning to load up my Kindle too. I've been neglecting my reading and I'm ready to get back to it. Recovering postop seems like a good time. I'm not afraid of Mx. I think if people use common sense when traveling the odds are good they'll be just fine. Amanda Rae Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
