Mexico

Yes, Mexico was warm and sunny and all the things that I wish I was feeling now. The snow/rain outside doesn't do well for my attitude. In Mexico, we slept in, ate, sat by the pool, stared at the ocean (couldn't swim in our area) ate, slept, Kayaked in the Sea of Cortez.... did I mentioned that we slept alot.... and ate alot? Our room was beautiful with a nice view of the ocean and pool. We had a ground floor at an all inclusive hotel and with that was a porch with a hammock. I read alot and Shane watched alot of TV (surprise!) The crazy thing is that they had a handful of channels, but they were all in Spanish except for two channels. One was American Network and the other.... Yes, It was ESPN!!!! (insert sarcasm here) Boy, do they love their soccer. (Again, insert sarcasm) It was a nice time to be with Shane without kids clammering for our attention. Shane job has him gone alot and I almost forgot how to hang out with him. I remembered why we don't vacation well together 'cause I like to go and he likes to sit. But he has been busy for a long time, so it was good for him to relax. I learned two things on the trip. First of all, I need to be more patient and secondly, PACK MORE BOOKS!!
We walked to San Jose, which is a little town outside of our "RESORT ROW" and enjoyed the local flair. I admit that I was a little uncomfortable sometimes, because the locals get right in your face and I'm not comfortable with a stranger in my personal space.
We also went to Cabo San Lucas (our hotel was in Los Cabos) and we went on a glass bottom boat tour, and ate in some cool restaurants, and just enjoyed the senery. One of the things that they have alot of is local vendors slapped in the street. Every one is selling the same necklace, painting, dress, souvinier etc. , so they are all trying to get your attention.I had guy grab my arm and try to put a beer in it, told me I need to buy a drink. THAT didn't go over well.
All in all, we had a great experience and relaxing time. It was a paid vacation -so that was a bonus. We decided that if we had to choose between Mexico or Maui, it would definately be Maui again. But I am glad for the experience.
