As I sat on the plane to Cancun, all I could imagine was myself lying on the beach, relaxing, drinking a margarita.
Well, I definitely relaxed, and I laid on a beach, but since I didn't really enjoy the very strong margarita...I drank many many many other fruity drinks including Mango Tango, Dirty Monkey, Midori Sour, Mojito, and many many more that I don't know the name of because the servers surprised us with it.
Over the course of 5 days, I managed to get myself into as much trouble as I could get away with, and considering I was there over New Years, that wasn't as hard as I expected.
We started out eating at the grille by the pool, and learned quickly that the servers would not bring us just one of what we ordered but probably 3 or 4, and we wouldn't care because we were all-inclusive.
We started out the trip getting ready and going to a nice Italian dinner (and we should have expected what we had considering we were in Mexico) and soon also learned that they really liked flaun-like food.
We snorkeled and kayaked through a sonata in the Riviera Maya. As another learning experience...I learned that my friend Kristen and I think that we can kayak, but we can't. We got our kayak completely stuck horizontal across the river as other kayaks were trying to get past us in both directions.
On New Years, we celebrated a Mexican Resort New Years, dancing until 2:30 in the morning to Mexican music..
and also making lots of drunk friends at 2:30 in the morning and drinking the worst Amaretto Sours...
Not to mention double fisting champagne and cocktails at midnight so I couldn't do the rediculously complicated toast..
And the wonderful weather and sun I woke up to every morning as I enjoyed my morning cappucino
I mostly enjoyed goofing around with my friends for 5 days in Mexico...
And the massage I got at the end to fix any back problems that could have come about from the (maybe) too much fun I had.
