    Had never thought of bringing your own blanket. Such a great idea.
    $7 stay? A bit of awesome, and looks like it has character.

    Hi. I'm about to go to the beach for a while with no money and no acquaintances. Sounds crazy, its crazy really but it's one of those feelings that are just there inside and a voice that says "just go for it, go away" I'm scared.
    Any tips would be much appreciated!!
    (I live in Mexico)
    Thanks.
