Going to Oaxaca

It all started with a casual conversation with my mom.  We were talking about my aunt taking her kids and their spouses on a trip and we said, 'we should go on another trip'.  And my mom said, we should go to Oaxaca.  And I said, yea we should.  But she left it there. I did not.  I called her the next day to say that round trip flights are under $600.  Then I looked to see what an apartment would cost and called again with my results - cheap.  But mom was wishy-washy.  So, I said, well, I might just go by myself.  And then I booked that cheap flight.

This all basically happened over the course of a day, really an hour between looking up the flight and booking the ticket.

I found many decent looking apartments on airbnb but I decided to go a bit more expensive to get a second bedroom with two beds.  That way, I could invite friends to come and stay for part of my month there.  Within a day or two, I had some on board with this crazy plan.  Mom is coming for the second half, and Carolyn and Joe are coming for the first half.

Here is the apartment
And just in case, there are five airbnb apartments in this building.
