Good to hear that you are ok.

And I actually think that the trip presents you with a GREAT opportunity to focus on YOU and pamper YOURSELF.

You know the sun itself will make you feel better.

Plan it ahead as if you are going ALONE. Have NO EXPECTATIONS that P is coming.

I think you might actually have a better time if you go alone - IF YOU CHOOSE TO.

Some ideas:
- bring books to read that you always wished you had time to tackle

- create a playlist (or lists) of music you REALLY enjoy to bring along and enjoy. Maybe one playlist for different moods - inspirational, tranquil, happy, etc.

- Think of what kinds of exercise you enjoy. This will be the perfect opportunity to practice them.

- start a new hobby while there - crosswords, sudoku, knitting, etc. Something you can bring with you.

- If you like learning languages, practice some Spanish before leaving and take this trip as a chance to really learn the language and also meet people! Most Mexicans are friendly by nature and like tourists.

- I don't know about what part of Mexico you are going to , but learn about that place - if you like sightseeing or history, you can really learn about the culture.

- As for the food and drinks, do I really have to point out the pluses there? wink

- Journal, write while enjoying the sun / beach / pool. Work on getting in touch with who you really are. Do you know? Figure out what you want, work on establishing some goals and making a GAL plan for when you get back home.

The key is to PLAN beforehand and to make this trip an AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF! wink

BTW - I am Mexican, so if you need any tips, hit me up. I'll be happy to share and help in any way.
