Somewhere between Izamal and Sudzal, Yucatan.

5 Days to departure

Well, I'm so wired that I'm not sure how to define how I feel - excited, stressed, scared, anxious, stressed, happy, exhausted, stressed... I think that 'freaky' is a pretty good word actually. Sitting down and taking the time to write is pulling me out of the madness for a few minutes - so I indulge.

I went to my dentist today, I was supposed to get a small surgery which had been re-scheduled twice (by him). I like my dentist. He is a crazy, creative and unconventional individual. He takes his entire team to Haïti once a year to offer free treatment to hundreds of people there. It's his home land. So today, he kept telling me how this intervention is a piece of cake, that would be out of there in half an hour, etc. and once everything was set-up he sat down and looked at me and said - 'you know, there is another way to do this. It's harder for me, but better for you - so that's what we'll do' His assistant rolled her eyes, and changed the entire set-up for the change of plan. It took 2 hours, and he worked hard. When it was all done he said 'if you have trouble with this tooth again when you get to Mexico, here is my number. I'll be in Playa del Carmen on Monday'. He is too much! And best of all, I have no pain - not even the slightest tenderness around the tooth he fixed. I think it's worth at least one margarita!

I came home and I packed some Christmas items. Some familiar objects for our tropical Holiday season. Snowman and icicles in Yucatan!
