The entire time we have been planning this we just figured my husband would come with me. But He started a new job last week and is thinking it will be hard to get time off of work. On top of that we thought we could save about $100 on an expedited passport for him, about $500 for a plane ticket and maybe $200 on food and other things he would be paying for while he was there. So we could save about $800 by having him not come with me and I don't think the money is the main problem anyway that is just a bonus of him not coming. We wouldn't have to leave our kids with my parents and we wouldn't have to worry about getting off of work. I'm just a little worried about it, I told him people do go along, so I was looking for some insight from people who have gone to TJ alone, did you feel safe, did everything go as planed? Did you feel sufficient on your own post surgery in the hotel? Also another silly question how do you get in contact with people in the US while you are in Mexico because he already told me he would want to hear from me several times a day.

I didn't go alone but I would have been perfectly okay had I gone alone. I went to Mexicali.

I didn't go alone either, but like Amanda said, I think I would have been fine if I had.

I felt perfectly safe alone in TJ. Every part of it.

I went alone, no problem. I did stay in the hospital for 3 nights though, didn't need to but I just found it easier.

I wasn't alone but it would have been OK if I was. The driver is going to take you where you need to go. It will be boring laying in a hospital bed with no one in the room but otherwise it would be OK.

We were going to use Skype in Mexico but we never did. We actually communicated with everyone using Facebook messenger. Just like texting only free.
