back to reality-the fantasy ended

We are home.

Wow what a vacation!!!

I think this one was the best ever. I wanted to share pictures with you so there is a slide show of some of our fun. Hope you enjoy them.

We arrived on Thursday as we checked into our resort, we were greeted with champagne and a concierge to help us with all our needs. The staff made us feel like royalty

Friday we met with a travel person and booked our para sailing and snorkeling trip, Tulum ruins trip and a couples massage. So the rest of the day we relaxed.

Saturday we went on our paradise snorkeling trip. We boarded a catamaran and headed out in the ocean. The coral reef we were snorkeling is the 3rd largest reef in the world (at least that is what the guide told us) Wow! I guess that sums up most of everything. After I got over my fear of drowning and being eaten by a shark, I relaxed and really enjoyed the wonders of the ocean. It was so neat to see the underwater life up close and personal. There was a big eel that I am not sure if I startled him more or vica-versa. I can hardily wait to go again.

After our snorkeling adventure, we boarded a speed boat for para sailing. Mike an I went up together. We could see the island of Cozumel while we were up in the air. What a rush!!!

Sunday - we relaxed....ate....drank.....ate....laid in the sun....relaxed - went to a dinner show it was a Mayan re-enactment of the rituals and sacrifices of the people.

Monday - was our couples massage - we each went to the hydro-therapy spa for an hour, then they led us to the couples massage area. Total relaxation. Mike was very impressed, I think he actually enjoyed it more than me. After our massage we went for a Japanese meal - Mike was still so relaxed he actually ate sushi. Talk about acting like a totally different person. Mike never fails to surprise me.

Tuesday - we went to Tulum - this was a Mayan ruin, I was so impressed with this trip. Our guide was an archaeologist. This touched my heart, I could not help but think of the Laminates. This was probably the best part of my vacation. Tulum is the only ancient city on the cliffs next to the ocean. The ocean was such a beautiful turquoise. The pictures do not do it justice.

The remainder of our trip we spent in our resort. We met alot of really fun people, ate, went for long walks, laid and listened to the ocean, went to the clubs relaxed and had a BLAST!!!!

Now we are home and ready to face tomorrow. I have a feeling my desk will be so stacked with papers I won't be able to even see it beneath the work that will be piled up...........so much for the R&R time......bring it on!
