From the beachfront. . .

All is well, this is my second day at the resort.  It´s beautiful here.  I´m doing well.  The most torturous event so far is the fact that I am in Mexico and I cannot eat Mexican food.  It´s everywhere in noseshot!  It´s OK, though.  I can tell I´ve already lost some weight.  I´ll update more when I´m not pressed for cybercafe time.  xoxo jena

January 4th is two days away!

So after the research and my decision to go to Puerto Vallarta and have LapRNY with Dr. Joya, I had to get my finances in line and apply for a passport.  Pretty easy, I paid extra to have it expedited.  The passport cost about $170 and took about 2 weeks to arrive.

My money for the procedure came from different sources, including the sale of a 50" Pioneer Plasma TV and my motorcycle.  And running some credit cards to the ground.  *sigh*.  But my new life will be worth it, I know.

I have waited every day now for about 9 weeks for this date to arrive, I have thought about it almost every waking minute.  I have forgone so many extras, Christmas gifts, New Years parties out of town with friends...

And here I am, about to pack.  I've got $11,500 in $100 dollar bills in a big thick stack to take with me to Mexico.  It's pretty cool, some friends and I have taken some "blinged out" pictures with all that money!  Silly...

I know I won't be able to sleep tonight, I've got so much adrenaline pumping.

I look forward to documenting this journey, and meeting other "losers" on the way.
