Once you get a date set and purchased, PM me cuz I'm serious about trying to do a week the same time you are there Shark :wink:

Only another year until retirement, I need to burn vacation days. You and I could play team eight ball and pay for our tickets back 8)

I was hurt in a parachute accident in which I had an entanglement with another jumper and they say my shoot collapsed around 50-60ft and I freefell. I sustained injuries literally from the bottom of my feet to to the top of my head. I am lucky to be here and walking. I am 32yrs old and was hurt at age 21. I have tried every thing out there from acupuncture, chiropractors, cognitive therapy, hypnotherapy, tens units, etc etc etc. I am doing the best I have been through time and a regiment of medicine that I am on. Nothing else has worked and up until my wife just leaving I was doing the best I have been in years. My life has been one serious event after another, so this is just something else I am dealing with. Id rather not talk about anything else on this board, but would love to meet some people here, because being all alone in a country where you dont know anyone is hard. Take care everyone.

My mistake..when I saw airborne I presumed Canadian airborne ...we don't get a whole lot of Europeans on this board!!

Thanks for joining us last night Michael. We all enjoyed meeting you. You have had some trough breaks, pardon the pun, but you seem to have a really good attitude about it all.

Hang in there, and keep joining us!

Maybe you can get relocated down to Vallarta to ease the "getting around" issues, and being less tied to the last bus north.
