Can you say Bliss!

This month started off full but fun. I covered a full range of outing this month that include shopping, my 2nd haircut, Pink gems breast cancer meeting, celebrated a 40th and 50th birthdays, Church Soup Luncheon, Family Pictures all in the first week.

The best and most memorable part of this month was getting to go on vacation! Tim, Jay & Tami Mars, and I spent 6 fabulous days in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. This was the trip we had booked and payed for back in August of 2008. We had to cancel because of my diagnosis and treatment process. So Tami and I continued to dream and read trip advisor reviews about our resort all the way up to our departure day. The fellows were very pleasantly surprised with our villa suites and the whole resort. We felt like we were living the high life for those 6 days.

I have included a few photo's of our rooms. We all agreed the outdoor shower was out of this world. If only we had the climate to have these at home. We would be adding on to both our homes. You can see Tim checking out our big walk in closet. He also liked the keypad entry safe that was in the closet. This was nice to keep our passport and other important documents in. When not in our rooms we spent the rest of our time on the beach or near the pool. From our beach we could see the tall buildings on the island of Cozumel, which was everyday because the weather was perfect. The average temperature was in the upper 80's during the day and in the evening was in the lower 70's. They did not have the wild wind that we have in Kansas. The wind did come off the water but not bad. The only tall trees around was the palm trees. I was amazed how much shade they did proved. By bring along our hats, sunscreen SFP 70, and finding a palm tree we managed not to get sun burnt. The water temperature was a nice luke warm 75-80 degrees. We joked that Tim needed to use the salty water for his sinus flushes. We did venture away from the beautiful resort to go shopping in the town of Playa on fifth avenue and to snorkel. We did leave a little money in Mexico with the locals. One of the other wonderful things was that all our food and drinks were included. Talk about really enjoying the fact we didn't have to cook or even plan what to cook for a whole week. We did try some new things like calamari, octopus and veal. Tami and I found the Mexican ice cream to be heavenly. Now all we can think about is will we get to go back before our passport expires?

Here's to us and....we all know what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico!!
