Off to see the butterflies

One week to go before departure.
I drew this for the geocaching trackable I intend to finally release in Mexico.  My intended geocaches are downloaded onto my GPS and coordinates are written on paper in my wallet as backup.
I've been gathering/setting aside what clothes I want to bring, and aim to exist off just a daypack and purse.  Very minimal.  Bring twice as much money and half and much stuff as you think you'll need, and don't bring anything you can't afford to lose.  Got a new bunny for my bag.
I took some travel vaccines, one was a totally not-delicious drink intended to ward off e.coli infection from questionable sanitary food preparation.  Awful. Awful. Awful.  But if it lets me eat garbage down there then it's worth it, right?
Not sure how much Internet I'll get down there so my correspondence may be limited.  I've been told to take lots of photos, will share upon my return.  Waiting till 24hrs before departure to pick a seat on the plane and thus don't _have_ a plane ticket yet, despite having paid for it.  Some might find that a bit alarming, but I trust it'll work out.  Not sure how I'll book my return seat from Mexico without ready Internet, so as long as I wave around my proof of purchase I'm sure the airline folks will know what to do.  Is it just me or has online registry made life more complicated?
