Also make sure to bring satellite TV with you. Staying connected is better if you are getting something other than CNN and Fox News (and the Amercian Network of reruns).

The stuff at Waldos is what I resort to, but its just not the same. and at the mega and soriana there isnt much of a selection for women, and its 80 pesos!! lol, In Canada, I paid maybe $3 for the mine. I have sensitive skin so when friends or family come down for visits i usually get them to bring that and stacks of candy and chips!

Don't even bother with shaving cream...just get some cheap hair conditioner! It's nice and slippery so less damage to your skin and you'll get a wicked close shave. I, too, have sensitive skin and have been using conditioner for years with no nicks or irritation...try it, you'll be amazed!!!

What do you miss the most?
I hope to take only what I have to have and nothing more. I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks
A sense of adventure and an expectation of something different is a must have. Mexico is great, people warm and friendly but it's not home ... and that is the best thing about Mexico. Be prepared to meet people from all over the planet and be prepared to enjoy ... Bring an open mind.
