    1. sorry to hear about your accident.....you will have to fly with a notorized piece of paper declaring you are partially metal...lol
      Also you may not have heard...we have decided to shorten the trip and are visiting just Mexico....maybe we spent to much time on the east and yucatan penn...the heat has been a killer and combined with the topes hard on my body which I thought healed enough but not...expect to be back mid to late Oct
