We have had a very busy last 48 hours since we left Uaymitun. For some reason I am always able to wake up when I have to- for a flight or work or anything else. On Tuesday morning I woke up at 3:15 because we had a taxi booked to meet us at 6am to take us to Merida for the bus to Cancun. I was awake for at least an hour and thought I wouldn’t get back to sleep….but I did!
All of a sudden, I woke up like a crazy woman because I was dreaming that it was 7:30 and the taxi had failed to show up. I hopped out of bed and because there was no clock in the bedroom, raced down the hall to the kitchen to see the time and ran straight into the concrete wall! I now have the first black eye I have ever had in my entire life!!! It is so embarrassing because we are now in Cancun, the party town of Mexico and it looks like I was on a tequila bender!!!!!!!
All that aside, it was emotional saying goodbye to the friends we met in the last month. We will really miss a lot of people but at least we have email to help us keep in touch with them.
The bus ride to Cancun was more than first class. It was four hours but complete bliss- with completely reclining seats, earplugs, eye mask, and headphones for movies. Once we arrived we took a taxi to our hotel. After spending almost three months in rentals, it’s nice to be pampered! We have a one bedroom suite with a complete kitchen and balcony overlooking the ocean. Our hotel is perfectly located- close to the restaurants and bars on the strip but far enough away to be quiet at night. Our beach is gorgeous- white floured talcum powder sand. I don’t think I have ever walked on such soft sand! And the water!!!!!!!!!!!!OH MY GOD IT IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!! Amazingly green beautiful water!
There are lots of things to do and see but we are planning a complete “do nothing” week. We will be home in a few short days and we have seen and done so much in our three months in Mexico. We are just going to be vegetables and spend the last few days on the sand and in the warm water.
We have heard that we may be coming home to SNOW!!!!!!!
