Very true.

Elvia: That hotel is beautiful. Will you be staying in the Presidential suite for the six months that you are going to be in Mexico??? If you are, please make sure to send plane tickets to the rest of us so that we can come and visit you.

You guys!!! I will be working there.... not staying.... the house I will eventually live in is about two or three blocks away from there.... but if I do get the job. I will let you all know so maybe I can get vales and have a VJ Getaway!!!! that would be out of this world.. The mexican in me did not explain myself correctly

Benita... I want that soap opera to have the cast from EL CUERPO DEL DESEO!

Working there would be awesome too. I would never had imagined there was a motel that nice in Mexico. Is that bad of me?

Oh yeah, I was wondering if you meant you were going to be staying there the whole time. I thought, dang, if Elvia can quit her job and go stay in a place like that, she must be loaded. I was envious.

Ohhh Benita...all too familiar. One night Miguel and I were sound asleep when at 3am a phone call comes in saying his uncle is in the ER via ambulance with stomach pains. Nobody at his house took him in their car so he had to go via ambulance $$$ (wonder if they didn't take him cuz he's a faker??) So we go to the ER and wait around and finally go in and see him. I think he had indigestion or something ridiculous like that. But OH NO it is a big deal to him. I work next to the hosp so the next morning I took off a few hours, went and picked him up and drove him home. Do I get a thank you? Nope. It seems expected. Luckily my husband was understanding and understands how his uncle is. So they give him these meds or whatever to take and he never does. That is what pisses me off the most...they give you a treatment plan and he totally blew it off. No wonder nobody paid attention to him. Some people are such babies that will go to any lengths for attention.

Elvia...so are you going to live in MX? If you can, I would too. What I would have given to be able to go. Just too many things that prevented me.

I will be loaded..... It will just be in pesos!

The house is really pretty and is a two story house. it has an awesome view... Oh well maybe when the time comes Raul will say "andale pues, vamonos todos" *sigh* wishful thinking.

Oh and here are more pictures Quinta Real I can just dream away!

Stephanie.... I have been having some trouble getting my husband on board with this.... I figure I will give him a month and then have him calling me and whining like a baby for me to go and live with him.

Maybe he will. Just keep working on him. I would have loved to go with Javier. I work for the state so I couldn't just up and leave my job, what with the retirement and stuff. Plus we have our house and had just bought a new car before he left. I would have almost given up everything to be able to go. Looking back on it, if I could go back and do it differently, I would. I would have figured out some way to go and be with him. Hopefully Raul will change his mind.

That's why I want to do this.... In retrospect I don't want to say should've, could've or would've.... You know what I mean. I want to keep this as real for me as it will be for him. He has not seen his family in over 6 years and although he talks to them (very rarely) he really doesn't know them anymore than they know him. I am trying to get this point across but it just bounces off I think that when we actually go to the appt and he sees or feels it then he will know it is for real.

[Bootylicious!! 2]

I know exactly what you mean. It took a while for it to sink in for Javier, even after he was back. I think if Raul sticks to his guns and says he doesn't want you to go, he will change his mind after he gets there. Javier was miserable for a while. He isn't an emotional person but would cry on the phone when we talked. It really is harder than I think, Raul thinks it will be. Not only will he be away from you but he will be away from everything that has come to be normal for him. I just think the transition would be much better if he had you there to go through it with him. Then you wouldn't have this awkward re-acquainting thing we all have had to go through.

[elvia 0]

You're right. I had not thought about the re-acquainting phase that we will go through. Just another reason for me to go with him. Well, I have been e-mailing and praying that he will give in or in some way see that doing this together will be alot easier than doing it alone. Maybe when I get my taxes done I can use some of that $ to take a trip down there and network.

All right Charity I need you now, and anyone else who wants to help me! Lets look at airfare from April 12 late evening and come back 17th mid morning or afternoon from DFW to Zacatecas.

Nope! They sent me the standard... we are backlogged e-mail... So as of today still no appt date.

[Bootylicious!! 2]

That sucks! I haven't had time to check flights yet. It's the end of the day balancing time so I will check as soon as I get done.

After our first appt and while we were at the motel in mexico I started crying that I wanted to go with tacho. Tacho gave in and said come on. I talked to my mom and she said well maybe you should . But we had just purchased a vehichle and were buying our home and if I quit my job I had not a clue who would have done his income eligibilty form. I really wish I could have afforded to go so i say if you can then go. Another thing I was so emotional, tacho was only able to call once every two weeks while he was at home due to no phones except in atlixtac, mexico. So every time he called I was to the point of falling apart . I believe once Raul hits reality , if you all can afford it he will want you to go with him. Tacho hated calling because he said it hurt him to hear me cry!

Elvia: I have searched a couple of sites. I can't find anything leaving at the times you want to leave. Are those the only options you have? The prices are around $400.

Thanks Charity.... I might be able to be flexible but I will get with you tomorrow since you are leaving and I have to check with work. Thanks for helping me. I will "see" you tomorrow

[Bootylicious!! 2]

Okay, just let me know. I have plenty of free time to check it out during the day. "See" you tomorrow too. Have a great evening.
