tuesday before the friday i go to acapulco

the trip has been planned for a long while and it always seemed so far in the future- well, the future has arrived and we leave this friday. some time ago my woman's group (weekly empowerment circle) began to joke about spending time at one member's brothers home in acapulco. just the thought would have us dreaming of how incredible it would be. sometimes the stars align and things fall into place just like they where meant to be. i have never been to mexico and i am excited -actually the trip could have been anywhere - and we would have been delighted. we, as a group, can rarely schedule a movie or dinner together. in my usual manner i have been reading and spending time on travel boards to acquaint myself with possibilities....trying to remember that if all i do is lounge all week -that is perfect. today i have started to gather the items i think i'll need for the week in mexico. i finally bought an ipod and have been downloading music like crazy. i have room for 2000 songs -which i thought was a joke, but i could see that i can indeed fill that. who knows what important packing task i'll take on tomorrow.
