Ah, the bed feels comfy and home smells sweet. I loved Mexico, it was beautiful, but there's nothing like being back home after a week. Where do I start? I could make this a really long blog post, but I'll make it a short on instead and just touch on the highlights.The resort was beautiful. We were greeted with champagne and whisked away to our rooms with a king sized canopy bed and jacuzzi. Gorgeous pools and waterfalls all over the resort. Peacocks and iguanas roam the grounds. White sand beaches and the most beautiful water I've ever seen. Truly was a little slice of paradise.
We ate 5 star gourmet food every meal. Each meal was at least 4 courses and I took pictures of nearly everything I ate because it was all so beautiful. We swam with dolphins (and got kisses from them), went snorkeling and played with tropical fish, got pedicures (strange experience), visited Cancun and Playa del Carmen, ate at authentic Mexican restaurants, shopped in the Mexican markets, talked with the locals, painted on the beach, and so much more. It was the best vacation I've had.
The two downers: Number 1, I went swimming in the Caribbean Sea with my phone in my pocket on the first day so I had no cell phone until about two hours ago when I bought a Samsung Blackjack. Number 2, because of Miami's stupid airport, we missed our flight at 4:30 yesterday and didn't get into New Orleans until 12:00 last night and therefore spent a total of 14 hours in airports yesterday. Yuck!
It was a wonderful vacation and the memories will last a lifetime. I missed all you blogger friends and thought of you all :) I even brought a poppet with me to take pictures with, but I forgot that I had her with me and didn't take any :( I'll be playing catch up with everyone's blogs. In the meantime, I'll post some pictures from the trip below. Didn't get any reading done at all, so I really need to catch up for these challenges! I'll make it....still don't have a job after all.
