Mexico pics

A few pics....


Our room:



Outdoor shower (Glen's favorite!):



This is where we spent a majority of our days: our own private cabana!



Our first full day there, we were sent a tray of chocolate desserts and a full bottle of [yucky] tequila---Glen's GQ moment, enjoying the treats:


The [adult] pool, for select "platinum villa" guests only (we are such snobs, but why not? no kids yet!)




A view of the beach! Glen couldn't help but take this picture due to the topless woman (just on the other side of the guy in the bottom right chair). Look closely, they're there! And they weren't the only ones! Yes, kiddos running around everywhere, too.




5th street in Playa del Carmen:



Couldn't help but post this one: There were many platforms all over the property like this one that had statues on top. We decided to pose ourselves.... At one point, Glen said,
"Get on your knees, I wanna try something."
Me: "You wish!"
Random group of people walking by: "Haaa Haaa haaaaa!!!!!"



Us after dinner on the first night:



We had so much fun!

too lazy to post

So we made it back from Mayheeko last Sunday...we both brought back nice tans (the kind where freckles converge to LOOK like a tan), and I brought back a stomach ache and a fever blister on my bottom lip that developed Monday morning. NOT fun. Still healing.

I got our underwater camera pictures developed (and they did not turn out well), and the rest of our pics are still on the digital. Chalk it up to laziness and the dreadful reality of returning to work that I don't care to download any of them right now. Just catching up on Project Runway...
More to come!

Officially on Vacation!!

Plane leaves at 7 am, so that means we're at the airport at 5:30, up at 4:30-ish. I still have to finish packing, clean out the fridge, vacuum up dog hair (love ya, Tech), wash towels for the house sitter....who knew going on vacation was such hard work?!
By this time tomorrow, we'll be (hopefully) enjoying a fresh margarita on the beach. At last, I can catch up on some reading!

shame, shame

Shame on me...almost a month without posting. I really have no excuse besides finding yet ANOTHER thing that I procrastinate about...like cleaning the bathroom (which I dread doing, but it gets done weekly!), going to the gym, folding laundry. Sometimes I wonder why in the world I couldn't wait to grow up fast...I'd gladly revert back to cleaning my room, doing the dishes, and going on my merry way.

We went to see The Dark Knight yesterday with Aaron and Amanda (sis-in-law), and I thought it was great! What a shame that Heath Ledger is no longer with us. I think he did some of his best acting in this movie.

We're leaving for Mexico on Friday! The forecast looks sunny/rainy daily, but I'm hoping it's just short, lovely, cool showers that soothe our pale, Irish skin from the hot Mexican sun. Knock on wood that no pesky hurricanes develop in the Atlantic in the next 2 weeks.

Now we're off to the in-laws' for an early birthday celebration. I'm turning 28 and Glen's turning 30 on the 11th (for those of you who don't know, we do have the same birthday), and we'll obviously be in Mexico then.

This will be a very momentous trip because it may be our last big vacation before---(yay!)------B-A-B-Y plans?? As we have learned, though, so tragically with a few close friends, just because you plan for one does NOT equal actually getting one within your time frame.....
