People think i am crazy for going to mexico and i now think people are crazy for not going to mexico!

  16. I dont know what the neosporin is for they use surgical glue called derma bond you dont want to mess with that and you will heal fine. Dont over pack is my suggestion! People that come alone have to take all of their stuff too and from the hospital! I brought lots of sweats flip flops glasses i usually wear contsct lenses but didnt want to mess w them, bring gas x strips they help a little bit. Walmart is a safet walk for anything you may need and the take us dollars
