Vamos a la playa!!!!


Mexico or bust, the vacation we have all been waiting for. It was finally time to leave. 7 days in the sun here we come. Amber always wanted to get married on the beach. (she was married in the states in October) We were going to an all inclusive resort south of Cancun on the Yucatan Pennisula. There were 2 groups going, our group for 7 days and then the other group for 4 days. People on the trip for seven days: Miranda, Irv, Josh C, Amb, Ang & Josh C. One couple was doing 5 days: Craig and DaMel. Mom, Dad, Jan, Paul, Patty and Barb were there for 4 days.


We were leaving on Saturday December 5 from Moline, then to MPLS, then to Cancun, and after that a 2 hour drive to the REsort near Tulum. SO saturday was a travel day. The flying wasn't too bad, we got into Cancun about 2pm, and then had to go through customs, find our bags, then get them screened again.

As a wedding gift to Amber one of the couples we were traveling with had gotten them a limo ride to the resort, so we all got to get in on that. The coronas were iced down. It was a fun trip of listening to music and drinking too much.



We finally arrived at Dreams Tulum, around 5pm. We were beat! The checking in was a process, everything was a process. An hour later we had the key to our room and were looking for something to eat.




WE made plans to meet up with everyone at 7 for supper. Amb and Josh had to meet with the wedding coordinator that night as well. The only option for supper was the World Cafe buffet. We were starved as we only ate breakfast. The food tasted so good!


After supper with everyone, Josh and I had to get our feet in the ocean and in the sand. It was dark, but we managed. The stars on the beach were amazing, there were so many.


Then it was time for the fire dancing show by the pool.

It had been a long day, we were beat, so we headed back to the room to get some rest. Our bed had been turned down and there were chocolates on the pillow. It is a good thing we were dead tired as our room, on the ground floor was right next to the Disco, or night club.
