Our passports got here today!! They were supposed to be here around July 4th and we were beginning to get worried since we're leaving in exactly a week, but they made it on time!

So now we get to pack and take probiotics and all of that other fun leave-the-country type stuff.

Anyone have any travel tips or suggestions? I don't want to forget anything! lol

(If the second picture looks a bit funny, it's because I blurred out all of the personal information.)

Hurray!!!! Where are you going? You kinda' left that part out!!!

AngieDoogles · 07-16-2007, 05:00 PM

Oh sorry! I made a thread about it but it was when I first applied for the passports so that was several months ago.

We're going to Mexico, two completely different parts of the country! First, we are visiting friends in Puebla, which is a nice affluent city with a university. Very touristy. Afterwards, we are going to El Rosario, which is in Hidalgo. There we will be translating for a mission group from the church Brendon used to work at. It's a VERY poor town in the middle of nowhere. We'll be building on to their church to make it more functional for their needs. It should be lots of fun and a great learning experience. It'll be my first time out of the country and Brendon's as well so we are both super excited and a bit nervous. We're leaving on the 23th and coming back either August 4th or 6th.

Wow, sounds like a nice trip. Are you flying or driving? If driving, be very, very careful!!! Hope you are prepared for hot weather, and when you are at the church, ready to eat some strange foods.

Our church family helps support a congregation in a poor area of Mexico, and years that it is safe, members travel there to help them with their building and with Bible studies and such. They've had things like cow tongue tacos. Yum, yum!!

Have fun! Mexico is beautiful, and has an amazing culture!

We are flying Marilyn. Actually, the temperatures shouldn't be too bad because we'll be in a pretty high altitude so it'll be comfortable during the day and maybe a bit chilly at night.

I'm definitely looking forward to the culture and the amazing scenery. There will be lots of pictures to share with you ladies when I come home!!
