I'm packing light too- clothes are going to be comfort > style... no judgements at the hotel lol. Bringing gas x (even though I heard it doesn't help with surgical gas), this super awesome lipbalm I got at sephora (Bite Agave lip mask), some single serve fruit flavored Syntrax packets, sugar free crystal light stuff, etc

By the way guys, I've heard a lot of talk about Syntrax Sweets chocolate Truffle Protein... actually I also tried the Cappuccino flavor.. Super delicious!!! I'm actually looking forward to drinking those three times a day lol.

what is everyone packing?! I am flying through spirit and can only bring a small backpack.. need to crafty Ideas of how to fit everything so I don't have to pay their over priced baggage fee's.. I heard back light but would like to hear everyone else's lists..

Spirit even charges for a carry-on, craziness! I'm going to try to fit everything in my shoulder bag. I was thinking it would be best to roll up my clothes and put in zip lock bags, they won't be wrinkle-free but it will save $$ and the hassle of checking a bag. I'm just taking comfy pants (yoga-ish) and t-shirts. Do we need to take our Vitamins with us? I was thinking meds had to be in a prescription bottle; does anyone know? I have to have zyrtec daily or I break out in hives so I'm going to have to find a way to either get a script for it or buy it when I get there.

Okay ladies... i think,i might have asked this but who is travelling with just their bc and id?

I heard that people did it. You don't have your passport yet? I don't either yet.

I applied for my passport on the 3rd and had it by the 13th. I paid $30 to have it expedited. I also ordered a passport card, which they do not expedite, and I still got that by the 17th.

Hi Ladies,

You don't necessarily need a passport to enter Mexico. However, US law requires that you have one to re-enter the US. Naturally, there are some rumors of people who have made it without a passport - but I have also heard stories of people who have had to wait in Mexico / Canada for several weeks while it is sorted.

Regardless, I would highly recommend obtaining a passport prior to your trip.

  • I have not got mine yet.. I have spoke to several people who said they did not get one and just came back with their BC and ID and that worked fine for them.. I really hope this is the case! I don't want to be detained in mexico lol .. I might just have to get it expedited.. problem is the post office only does them until 2pm and I can't time off work! ugh

I don't see how I missed this thread!! I'm flying out on Monday April 7 from Orlando, Fl. I arrive in San Diego at around 10:45am, which is 9:45am TJ time. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up sitting around and waiting atleast once or twice that day because I get in so early. I hope the Marriott has early check in! Look forward to seeing u all!

Oh, and im traveling alone so I'm REALLY wanting to meet up and get to know u guys!

Travelling alone as we'll! My surgery is,Monday
