an american in mexico aka "donde esta el bano?"

that's it, internet. in a few short months i will (hopefully) be international. and not in the scary drug mule kind of way, but in the fun, drinks on the beach kind of way!!

hooray!

the dilemma with any kind of travel for me is getting there. i don't worry so much about having fun once i get there, as the party follows me, but i hate airplanes. and not because i fear flying, or i'm scared it will go down, but because i get bored and irritable. yes i am the 5 year old child, but i lack the ability to stay entertained by watching the cars dvd 730 times.
so what's a girl to do? well, when we flew to san francisco last year (a mere 3 hour flight) i managed to read for 3 minutes, listen to music for 10, peruse the hilarity of skymall catalogs for 25 and bothered my husband for whatever those are minus 180.

*sidenote* pizza hut pizza is nasty. i don't care what they're trying to improve.

i have also become consumed with the ailment known as "montezuma's revenge". i've looked up origins (montezuma), symptoms (pooping your guts out), treatments (you're effed) and am convinced i'm going to contract it on day one. ugh. i got some kind of stomach virus last week and prayed for death for 48 hours - maybe that has something to do with my fear.

so if you've been to mexico, are you still alive? did you, in fact, poop your guts out? is everything down there precluded by the words "fiesta"?

Girl, don't you know the alcohol kills the bacteria? Just don't get water in your mouth when you shower, and use bottled stuff to brush your teeth with! (Or alcohol, but I don't recommend combining tequila and toothpaste.) :)
