Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Update, going on vacation

I haven't been on line for a few days. I sorta had a major mental meltdown after my last couple of doctors appts. I just got over stressed with everything and depressed at my lack of health improvement.

After locking the door at the office one afternoon and having myself a grand old sob fest, I decided I need a vacation. I haven't really had one in three years.

Spent some time looking on line and finally called a travel agent. Long story short, we are going to the Riveria Maya, which is just south of Cancun, Mexico. We are staying at a luxury, all-inclusive resort called the Grand Palladium White Sands Resort and Spa.

We booked the best room possible, a Cabanna suit in the adults only section. It has a hot tub on the patio and our own cabanna and outside shower. Its a really big resort but the adults only section has its own private pool and all the amenities.

Its a sprawling resort with lots of walk ways and tropical gardens and its own beach, complete with beach bar! Since we are in the adults only, fancy schmancy section, we can use golf carts to get around if I am not up to the walking. There is also a little train the goes through the resort and the two sister resorts.

I plan to be a resident on the beach, under my thatched shade umbrella and have the cute little cabana boy bring me drinks with pretty umbrellas in them! There are 5 pools in total and a man made lagoon as well. There are swim up bars at the pools and built in chase loungers right in the pool!

It truly looks like heaven to me! We have to go Monday am to get our passports but they will expidite them because we are leaving march 14!!! We leave on a Wednesday and come home the following Tuesday!

I went out shopping yesterday and found two rather cute bathing suits and a great dinner/disco dress! I got some Capri's and one pair of shorts and some t-shirts. We plan to be casual, either on the beach or in the pool. We don't really plan on doing any outside excursions or trips and we just want to relax and be waited on hand and foot!!!

Two days after we get back, I see the pain specialist and will probably be starting spinal injections which are not any fun. For now, I am just going to self medicate enough to at least function and concentrate on my wonderful trip ahead. We honestly can't afford this as we had to put the actual trip on our credit card but sometimes you just can't put a price on sanity. I NEED to get away. So, I am going to Mexico!!!!!!!
