That's right, we are Cancuners now. We've been; it rocked. Never has there been a time in the history of this Family of Baldwin's when running down the beach was more exciting. Never has a cab ride ended in ruins such as this. Thrilling times in Mexico. Intrigued? You should be. Enthralled? You will be!First off, I was sick going down there. Travelling while sick is not cool, but I was NOT going to miss my chance to go to Cancun. My sweet husband went to Walgreens - which he says is evil - at 1 AM to get me medicine, even though we had to be at the airport very early the next morning.
We actually ended up oversleeping. Dad was a bit stressed and we were scared. We did make it though. Robert, Russell's older brother, was driving their Mom and Grandpa to the flight and was able to grab us as well. Our house was a bit messier than we wanted it to be, but whatever, I was sick.
The airport wasn't bad. We got boarded quickly and we were on our way . . . to L.A. We had a short layover, barely long enough to switch planes, and then it was onward to Cancun. Our flight was boring and the onboard entertainment system was broken!
Cancun was so warm. Oh yeah, and Justin had to get searched through customs. Hehe. We had a van waiting to pick us up, thank goodness, and we were off to the hotel. Our first night we ate at Captain's Cove and we saw a crocodile!
Sunday was pretty lazy. We slept in late and ended up just hanging out on the beach. Russ and I got to play in the water together a few hotels down. (Which reminds me: Russ fell into the ocean by some rocks and got a few nicks and scratches on his hands. He was laughing about it, so it is okay.)
We went shopping on Monday and ended up buying a few bracelets and a very pretty ring. They wanted 4300 pesos for the ring, but we worked them down to 2500!
Chichen Itza is a must when you visit Cancun. We spent most of Tuesday there. The ruins were amazing and we had a lot of fun. You can't climb the main temple any more, but we still had so much to do. My two new necklaces were purchased from a vendor there. He wanted 200 pesos for one, but Russ got him down to 160 pesos for both!
Wednesday was a day for the pool. The best part was when I got to get a massage on the sun deck. I have been wanting a massage for awhile and I am so happy that Russ bought me one. It felt so nice.
Xcaret was Thursday. Another high on the list attraction. Xcaret has some ruins and has been built into a mix between a zoo and a beach park. We went on a raft ride on the Paradise River. You could see itty bitty fish in the water and we got to see some other animals too! We spent a bunch of time at the beach and walking around the main center. We ended the evening at the big show that they put on in the theater.
Friday was our trip back home. We wanted to go to the ocean, but ended up sleeping in quite late. Thankfully, I have a crazy husband who loves me very much. We got all ready to go and we ran down to the beach when we only had like forty minutes until we left. We finally made it and got to play for maybe fifteen minutes. The waves were HUGE on Friday morning and we had a lot of fun. The good news, Russ did not fall on slippery rocks this time. We left Cancun with salty hair, but very satisfied with our adventure.
The flight home was so much easier. The onboard TVs were fully functional this time AND I GOT TO WATCH TWILIGHT! We landed way early, so we had to wait a little bit for Richard and Charisse to pick us up. It was nice to be home, the actual travel part of travelling, not so cool.
All in all, we had a good trip. I am not sure when we will do it again, but we would like to someday. I love my husband; he is so cute.
