Ok so per my last post, I am suddenly traveling alone to Mexico instead of with a good friend (her mom is dying).
I’m thinking through my options. Currently I have 3 1/2 days in a beach town (progreso), then 2 1/2 days alone in Merida which is a very cool city I’ve wanted to spend more time in. Then 2 days mostly with my Spanish teacher who I’m thrilled to meet because we’ve become online friends. Then one more day alone in Merida. and back home.
I can come a day or two late, leaving me with 2 1/2 days or 1 1/2 days at the beach, and/or I can come back a day early, with one less day in Merida.
The problem is that I have to decide this today.
Luckily I am comfortable traveling alone in Mexico, it’s just a big emotional shift. There is a Facebook group for women traveling in Mexico and I generally like the members so I’m going to see if anyone can meet up but obviously it’s different.
If I come back a day early I can go back to work a day early which helps with the money thing. Maybe that’s the answer? Or a day on either end? Will I be sad to have less than 3 days at the beach?
I wish there was someone to make the decision for me.
Also I’m trying not to feel like an asshole when her mom is actually dying but there’s nothing I can do for her now -she doesn’t want people to come visit her because she’s overwhelmed.
