Taylor and I are back from our 5 days in Cancun, Mexico! We went south with two of our favorite couple friends that live in Killeen. I have attached a few pics for your viewing pleasure.
We left San Antonio on Thursday morning at 10 flying on Mexicana Air and were checking into our hotel by 4. It was such a great travel experience. Mexicana Air is still giving meals and free 'drinks' on planes! WoW, what a treat!
The hotel was gorgeous and we got settled into our rooms immediately. We all met downstairs for dinner and decided where we shall go. Now, we did one of these All Inclusive deals. Have you heard of these things? We won't do anything but this from here on out! So we chose to eat Sushi the first night. There were 5 different restaurants at the hotel that we could eat at for 'free.' I ate over $100 in sushi the first night we got to Cancun! We tore that place up. We TOTALLY got our monies worth.
We didn't do any excursions this go round, but rather sat by the pool and read our books or participated in the hourly activities that went on all day... Anything from Spanish Lessons to hair braiding to a bike tour to water aerobics and much much more! It was like a Young Life camp for adults. And the best part about it was that I didn't have to LEAD ANYTHING!!! I could participate if I wanted or ignore everyone if I wanted. Now THAT'S a vacation...
Underneath our hotel was a bar in the sand and out of the wind. We were waiting for our Sushi table to be ready so we went exploring. We found this place and it had couches and chairs all over along with beds! There were swings on one side of the bar which I thought was really unique...
Downstairs in lobby of hotel. There is no front door. It is all completely open. So Big and So Beautiful! This was our first night in Cancun...
This is day 2...our first full day in Mexico. The water was so blue!
Upon arrival in Cancun. We have NO idea what we are in for...
We got many laughs trying to figure out how to fill out our Immigration Forms and Declaration Form. Taylor is pictured here filling out her FIFTH form... well, it's the same form, this is just her fifth try! I messed up several times as well. It was rather hilarious! And frustrating. Come to find out, the customs deal was not as intense as we were anticipating. I'm just gonna make a photo copy of mine for next year!
Gosh! What a wonderful way to start off a year. That is what you call total relaxation. We also got to order room service up to 3 times a day. Who doesn't love Breakfast In Bed?
The hardest part of the whole thing was coming home and back to reality! But we are so very glad we are back and loving people for His Kingdom...
