Our flight was great. We were in 1st class on the way here. I've never flown 1st class. Seats are roomier and you get a pretty decent meal plus alcohol. Doesn't everyone have a little vodka with their cranberry juice at 9:30 am when on vacation?I giggled to myself when the stewardess commented"Getting started a little early, huh?". She's just jealous!
Amelia already has a couple of flights under her belt. She did great on her first international flights, too. She sleeps really well especially if there's a lot of turbulence.When we landed in Cancun we went to baggage claim and discovered Larry and Mary Grace had no luggage. Aye,aye,aye! That's why Natthan and I try to always "carry on".
We got our car rental and started on our way to Tulum. We stopped in Playa for lunch and made it to the house around 3. OMG! The house is amazing. It belongs to Jo's partner at Smith Barney and he lets her use it every year for her birthday. This is her 3rd year celebrating her birthday at Casa Maravilla. Check out their website. Our pictures are really great but all the info is here.
On this trip we have the Jo, the birthday girl-
Becky and Jim-
Larry and Mary Grace-
And, Yours Truly-
On Sunday, we pretty much got settled and stayed in. We got our suits and hit the beach and pool. Those were the pics in yesterdays post. Yesterday we woke up and had a yummy breakfast and then went swimming and to the beach. Amelia had a little fever so I kept her inside while Nathan went out to play and then we switched. She's feeling fine, just a little temp. Maybe because of her teeth coming in.Monday, today, we went to Tulum walked around the ruins. Most of the pics of our friends are from there.
It was overcast so it wasn't too hot.
This house is a private house in the middle of Soliman Bay. When you walk out the back door, this is what you see. The amazing pool.
The kitchen....
To Be Continued. My friends want to use the laptop.....

I had that same thought when I was in Mexico in December...I still think about it :). If it werent' for the horses, I'd very likely have figured out how to pull it off...on some beach, somewhere. This place you are at looks amazing...if you stay we are coming down :)
I am sorry you are having such a miserable time & staying in a dive, Nicole. You might need to find some new friends!
I LOVE Mexico, too. I want to retire there someday. Maybe run a small orphanage. That's one of my life goals. Ray and I went to Talum before we had kids. It's beautiful there. The water is the most amazing blue ever. Keep the vacation posts coming. I love reading them and seeing the pictures
I am sooo jealous!
