FriendshipThank You, don't care for soaps or quiz shows but I love dogs, and also have pond fish, after losing our last 2 dogs within 6 months of each other, we decided no more, too heartbreaking. What do you like to do for fun?ViewDate:

FriendshipSorry I haven't got back to you before now, I was Born In Newcastle Under Lyme, moved with parents to Wiltshire and Devon then I lived in South Shields for a couple of years as a teen, moved to Hartlepool where I met and married my husband, then a job took us to Leek in Staffordshire where we stayed until moving to the US, we came here as my husband was offered a job too good to refuse!!!! I am in North Carolina, where the summers are hot but the winters can be very cold, We have way more rain than usual, but luckily no snow as of yet, I just want to get February over with, then should be on the road to warmer weatherViewDate:

Travelling to Mexico. Any advice!!I'm not saying that conditions are bad, but having traveled Mexico and most of the Caribbean it is not recommended to drink tap water due to the purification of running water or should I say lack of, just be aware, first time I ever went I did not know about that, luckily someone at the hotel mentioned it to me, since then have always been very careful, things like salads that are washed in tap water can also be an issue, stay or eat in well recommended placesViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.I just joined yesterday, I can understand how you are feeling, I'm a young 71, just lost my husband 2 months ago, I don't have any family close to me, so it is very lonely, and i have learned over the years that its not strange, that's just what they have turned out to be, but yes I agree, they do seem to forget usViewDate:

Travelling to Mexico. Any advice!!depending where live British pounds would not be acceptable there, you would need US dollars or pesos, but dollars are very widely usedViewDate:

Travelling to Mexico. Any advice!!Oaxaca and Huatulco, are lovely, not as touristy as most Mexican resorts, also bear in mind, NEVER drink tap water, only bottled, another good suggestion would be pre-purchase Visa Gift cards, that way no one would have access to a bank account if lost or stolenViewDate:

Travelling to Mexico. Any advice!!I have been there a couple of times, you need to pick places that are safe and secure, be cautious, don't carry too much currency, and leave you passports and credit cards in a safe at your hotel/accommodation apart from one that has a nominal amount on it, language is not that difficult to overcome depending where you are. there are some beautiful places, take in the ruins, the ocean is lovely, the southern tip of the country is outstandingViewDate:
