To The Beach

We had a fantastic beach vacation in Cancun!  It was amazing to get on a plane at 7am when it was around 0 degrees and be sitting at this beautiful beach before noon enjoying 80 degree temperatures.



We couldn’t get our room right away but we were able to enjoy the resort from the start.  Both of these pictures are from our room.  The one above is mid-day and the one below is early in the morning. 



Delta got us there on time and we had arranged a ride from Canada Transfers to get us to the hotel.  They were waiting for us and off we went.  Our driver Jose pointed out lots of interesting things on the way and drove slowly past the first glimpse of water so we could see how pretty it was.   



We did a whole bunch of relaxing
. 


There may have been some fine hand-crafted beverages.

One of us may have been hoping to be mistaken for a Canadian.

The last place we stayed in Cancun was mostly American and Canadians.  This resort had a wider range of countries represented.  We heard Italian, Spanish (of course) and French spoken.  Judging by the number of men in Speedos, we’re pretty sure there were plenty of Europeans as most men from North America would not be caught dead in such suits. 

There were Asian couples who looked like they were probably on their honeymoon.  We tried to listen in and see what language they were speaking to the staff.  Almost everyone who worked there spoke good English; we’re not so sure about the guests.  Despite the people from all over the world, we always meet somebody from within 20 minutes of our house!  



The weather and the beach were amazing.  The water was so clear we could see other people’s feet who were swimming or standing yards away from us.  We did a cloudy afternoon but it was plenty warm.  The rain started as our plane took off so our timing was impeccable this year.





Despite our best efforts to seek out shade, we managed to get somewhat fried by the end of the week.  We were very happy that we were able to find shade whenever we wanted it. 

When can we go back? 

Next up… to the pool or maybe the hotel…
