Well where do I begin? What a week! Honestly I would have to say that we were ready to go home around Thursday. I think we missed our computers and stuff, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a magical honeymoon.

The trip there was AWFUL. We left the house at 4:30 for a 7:00 flight. The ride to Chicago wasn’t bad but the Mexicana flight was TERRIBLE. There was a mother there with a couple of toddlers who did NOTHING but shriek and cry. What annoyed me more tho was the fact that she did nothing about it. She didn’t apologize or maybe take a kid to the back to calm them down. She just sat there while her two kids threw fits that were making it very difficult for the other passengers. Add that to the worst turbulence EVER and you’ve got a shitty airplane ride. I was in tears by the time we landed. The stress of the screaming kids and the bad bumpy ride was too much. But we got there ok.

Going thru customs was a piece of cake. We were out of the airport in no time. We had no idea where to go from there so we walked outside and we found an adorable old man with a sign that said “Frederic Janney” on it. The people we set the trip up with thought of everything! He was so nice and got us in a big air conditioned van all to ourselves! Then we went straight to the resort which was about an hour and a half away. There wasn’t much to look at on the trip there. Mexico is a rough looking place.

So we got to the resort and WOW it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen! The place was gorgeous and clean and augh, so perfect! We checked in and the front desk staff was so friendly and served us mimosas. I didn’t even know what a mimosa was until last week. OJ and champagne! I THINK they used Sunny D on their breakfast mimosas tho because it just tasted better then when I ordered them from the bar with actual OJ. Anyways we went to our room and it was super close to everything AND we had an ocean view! The room was huge and so sunny and just all around awesome.

We got a schedule by around the second day. We’d wake up and go to the buffet for breakfast. Then we would go back and change for the beach or pool. We would swim until lunch and then buffet it up again. Then we would walk around or something then head back to the hotel room and enjoy a few hours of laying around and watching TV (or not ) until close to dinner time. Then we went to the big bar for some live music then we went back to the room and went to sleep. We weren’t able to stay up late! We missed a lot of shows but that’s ok, we enjoyed ourselves.

The beach was amazing. We’re glad we brought water shoes tho because some areas were really rocky. It was nice because it wasn’t busy at all the week we were there. We always got a good spot on the beach. Some days we stayed at the pools instead. This place had a ton of them stretched out all over. A few pools even had bars by the pool! The bar even had underwater barstools for us to sit on and drink while we swim! I love free liquor.

We were stupid and got sunburns our first day there. It wouldn’t have been so bad but my burns were so splotchy! Like cow spots! I dunno how that happened. I saw so many women with tans and burns but at least they were EVEN. I have a tan line on my right arm that looks like a lightening bolt or something! WTF?! But yeah, the burns slowed us down a lot but we still managed to have a great time.

Part of our package also was 3 dinners at some of their uber fancy restaurants. We went to a French place, a Seafood place, and a Japanese place. The French place was so fancy! We had filet minion and caviar! The Seafood place was ok but the Japanese place was WOW. It was just so cool that we didn’t have to pay for any of this stuff! The buffets were nice and HUGE but got tiring after awhile. They did have ice cream on tap though which was sweet. I ate way too much chocolate ice cream that week, lol.

The TV wasn’t too bad either. What was funny was one of their channels, channel 10, played Disney’s The Haunted Mansion 24/7 over and over that ENTIRE week! It was really weird. It would just play until the end credits and then start up again. Why?!?!!?! There were a few channels that played a good 3 or 4 movies over and over again but that was nothing like The Haunted Mansion! There were a few channels with English (Spanish subs) and I discovered a few shows I really liked like Dirty Sexy Money! I need to find that show here in the US!

Oh! We also made a new kitty friend! He was stationed outside of the big bar. He was a kitten, well more of a “teenager” cat. He was sooo sweet. He was always there, every morning, just laying outside of the bar. He was so friendly and enjoyed the attention he got. I sat down with him every morning and gave him loving. He really enjoyed chewing on my sandals and wrestling lol. I’m gonna miss that cat. He was very well taken care of tho so that made me feel good. We ran into a few other cats around the resort but none of them wanted anything to do with us, just Kitty.

So I think that covers about everything. The trip back was a disaster. Our flight in Chicago was delayed two hours and we didn’t get in until 3:00AM. Thanks a lot Tyler for giving us a ride. We REALLY appreciate it. ;_; Once again, The Mexicana flight was filled with monstrous turbulence and Fred said he even thought we might die there for a second. I don’t get what the problem was but flights like that are never good.

So below is a link to some pics! I took a lot of photos of the resort since it was so pretty! Sorry this is so long! There was just too much to say!
