Wow, I thought it would take a lot longer than that. Thanks!

I remember years ago, while we lived in SA, it took a month for a pasport lol... but these days it goes fast.

We are going to Mexico this summer. We're going to be translators for a mission group going to a very poor town called El Rosario. BUT...before that we are going to visit our friends Daniel and Yakko in Puebla, which is a much nicer part of Mexico. We'll get to be "tourists" and really enjoy ourselves. We aren't sure how long we are staying yet, but we are hoping it'll be for a couple of weeks before we leave for El Rosario. It'll be my first trip outside the country, so I'm super excited!!

And I also have an inquiring mind...where did you go??

Your trip sounds wonderful!! Don't forget to take a lot of pics and please do share them with us here. Do you enjoy Mexican foods? It's one of my top favorites, I could eat true Mexican food everyday!! LOL ~ infact, on this diet of mine I have to pick 7 dinners, etc. Well 5 of the 7 days I picked their Chicken Fajhitas. Told ya I enjoy Mexican.

Just think too about all the souiveners you can get. Pretty colored pots, art, jewerly, etc. Ooohhhh I love to shop on foreign land.

My hubby and I first went to Jamaica for 11 days. Had a total blast!!

Then the following year I think it was we went to Puerta Vallarta. We stayed in a home that a member from YT rents out. It was a perfect vacation!! Didn't want to return home.

Enjoy your trip, it's a chance of a lifetime!

I rarely do anything that I don't take pics of. LOL! I will definitely share my favorites with all of you when I come back...though I'm not going till the summer, so you'll have to wait.

Yes, I love Mexican food as long as it isn't too spicy. Spicy is not my thing. Chicken Fajitas sound great, but I don't know if I could eat them for 5 out of 7 dinners. LOL. But hey, if you can lose weight eating something you really enjoy, then go for it!!

Oh, and I can't WAIT to go shopping there...I'm so frugal and I just can't wait to buy beautiful things at such good prices (though I'll probably not bargain at all since they need the money more than I do). But I get so excited thinking of all the lovely things I'll be able to come back with.

I've always wanted to go to Jamaica. Is that where you went on your honeymoon? Sounds like the perfect vacation to me!

Where is Puerta Vallarta? Sounds like a nice place.
