CANCUN

So it has been 3 years since Kelly and I have been on a vacation just the two of us. We decided this year we would do just a quick long weekend getaway to Mexico. Neither one of us has ever been to Mexico and we could do the trip for pretty cheap! We decided on an All Inclusive trip to Cancun. We were there March 4-8, 2010. Who knew it was SPRING BREAK???????? Yes, spring break for college kids in Cancun Mexico. Kelly and I were some of the oldest ones there! It was a BLAST!

Our flight was a crazy one, we flew from here to Phoenix, Phoenix to Mexico City, Mexico City to Cancun. When we go to Mexico City we had no idea what to do, plus we didn't speak an ounce of Spanish, so that was an interesting stop. We ended up meeting a cute couple from Idaho who we had dinner with there. Oddly, enough we at a Chilis and our dinner came to $95 (we didn't realize that was pesos....).

Just landed in Cancun


We stayed at the Grand Oasis Cancun right on the Hotel strip. Our resort was awesome. We had an amazing view of the Ocean from our room, facing the Carribbean. The sand is the whitest I have ever seen and the water in a beautiful color of blue.

Friday we went parasailing right in front of our resort. SO FUN...... After when we were walking back down the beach to lay out we passed where they were filming "Girls Gone Wild, Spring Break 2010." Right in front of our resort.....I am NOT kidding! It was CRAZY!!!!!

Just getting ready to gear up for parasailing.

On Saturday we did the Best excursion. We went to a place called Selvatica where we ziplined above the jungle. They had 12 different ziplines and they were crazy. The staff was awesome. After, the zipline they took us snorkeling out by Puerto Morales. It is the 2nd largest reef in the world. We saw all kinds of amazing fish, we even got to see 2 stingrays. Then, we had lunch at the funnest restaurant. It was a masked wrestling themed place to eat. Plus the food was super yummy!

Sunday we went to Chichen-itza. This was probably the most fascinating part of our trip. It was a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to the cenote. After, the cenote we went to Chichen-Itza. I LOVED it there. We went on a guided tour, then got to explore on our own for awhile.
