Mexico

Scott and I spent the past week soaking up the sun on the Riviera Maya! The whole week was amazing, it was sunny and in the 80's every day! Our hotel was incredible and included the most amazing pool I have ever seen right on the beach!


They had a shuttle service to Playa Del Carmen that we took advantage of on 4 nights of our stay there. Playa's 5th ave. was amazing, the shops, the music...everything was so festive and fun. We found a friend there, a little kitty that hung out by the McDonald's! She was so sweet and I tried to talk Scott into bringing her home, but he said Liddell may get a little jealous!


We also spent a day in Cancun that turned out quite interesting...they dropped us off at a very ritzy mall and Scott and I decided to try and find some of the smaller shops, so we hopped on a bus and after a 45 minute ride we found ourselves in a market that we were the ONLY tourists. I know you're thinking that there had to be a few others walking around, no we were the only ones. Thankfully somehow we found our way back to the mall in time for the shuttle bus back to the hotel! It was quite the adventure!


We spent thursday at a place called Xel-ha. It's an inlet of the ocean and they rent out snorkeling gear and have restaraunts and gift shops as well. The day flew by so fast, we spent about 7 hours of the day snorkeling and before we knew it we had to leave. We were even fortunate enough to see a sting ray along with all the other amazing fish! It was so much fun and definitely the highlight of the trip!


All of our flights were on time, no problems with baggage claim, the whole week went so smoothly and was so relaxing and amazing!
