YIPPEE!@#$!
My vacation plans for this year have officially been set in motion. Instead of basking in the dustbowl that is Merritt Mountainfest for a week in the summer, I’m going to MEXICO!@#$!@
I know. For some of you this isn’t a big deal. And the idea of spending a week in an all-inclusive resort is the epitome of blah. But it’s exciting for me. And that’s all that really matters.
I’ve never actually been on a *real* vacation. When you’re a full-time student, and your only chance to earn money is during the time when everyone else is taking vacations, it’s hard to justify both spending cash to go somewhere, as well as forefitting the opportunity to make some cash by taking time off work.
But this is finally it! I’m at a point in my life where I have paid vacation time, and I can afford to go somewhere – so it’s Bon Voyage Peechie!
If anyone has any recommendations about where to go and what to do, email me or leave a comment. I’ll be going at the end of May/beginning of June (since it’s my anniversary).
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
i will second the vote for playa del carmen and actually throw in a hotel too… the Hotel Riu Palace Mexico. My sister went there for her honeymoon a couple years back and said it was awesome. They were on a shuttle from the airport and were the last stop on the shuttle, so they got to see everyone else’s hotel. They said they got the best one by far. Also, you can use any of the Riu hotels in the vicinity as part of the all-inclusive deal (not the rooms, just the other facilites like pools, beaches, sports courts, restaurants etc). plus, free booze (not the cheap no-name kind) in your room, restocked daily.

also, i hear from people who have been to both coasts that western mexico (puerto vallarta, acapulco, mazatlan etc) is nothing compared to the yucatan. plus, there are mayan ruins near playa del carmen!
my 2 cents
Playa del Carmen doooooood! (But don’t drink the water…..*laugh*)
bring me?
I fit in a garment bag!
