Boy, where did the time go?This trip was filled with all sorts of fun and interesting activites, food, company and unfortunately, an accident of a family member that resulted in surgery and their curtailed vacation. All is ok...now..but boy, who would have imagined that?!?!
Water aerobics, kayaking, ping pong, shows, shopping and plenty of pool time were some of the activities. It was the first time my family and I experienced one of those bars that you can swim up to in the pool and partake in an icy cocktail. My choice was a pina colada - (forget about the 1000 calories - it's vacation!). We all learned the Spanish word for pool - "piscena" and splashed around daily - the kids had a great time playing t
ogether.Champagne was delivered upon our arrival, the next day there was a plate of sweets, after that a bottle of tequila and many other pleasantly suprising deliveries to our room. Each day fresh towels were delivered and folded into various exotic shapes - swans, fans, an elephant head, etc.
The sun was relentless - I have never used so much sun screen and was vigilant with sunglasses, a hat and wearing a cover up. I still managed to get burned! Our family outing to the ruins of Tulum felt like a Mexican death march. I could not help myself - but I tuned out after the first 5 minutes of our tour guides explaination of the Mayans....lunch made up for the discomfort - a couple of cold cornonas, the best quacamole ever and yummy fresh grouper with a table side view of the amazing torquiose waters.
Now - jet lag and a mountain of laundry...
