I love it....'past the nerves'

Part of my paperwork was an agreement for confidentiality on pricing so sorry, can't disclose my price.

Ditto. I emailed them and they were really fast at getting back with me. I had a call within 1 hour from Carolyn and they emailed me the prices.

Like SoCal states' we agreed not to disclose the price. It aapears you already received the pricing.

Sometimes they change... I wasn't aware that they don't want you discussing the price.

Thank you so much for all the information! I am getting really excited to go :)

Well, I am on my layover in LAX. I called my credit card company lies letting them know I will be in Mexico. I also found out why my layover is so long, the 3 flights before mine have all been over booked.

I had a heck of time getting to sleep last night ... can you say excited, nervous, anxious.

And, not being able to eat in the airport has been a killer. I am hungry, and yes I have an injury shake. I sure can't wait until that hunger hormone has been removed from my body.

Mary, I know how you feel, how anyone could possibly sleep the night before is beyond me. In fact, my surgeon actually gave me a pill to help me sleep, lol. Best of luck to you, can't wait to hear how you are doing!

I wish well to you...
