To make this trip possible, I had 2 things going for me--
a friend named Monica who found a deal to the Riviera Maya
that was way too good to pass up and an amazing husband
who said. . ."Go and have a great time with your friends"!!
The Carribbean sea is so beautiful AND warm!!
Our home away from home---The Grand Palladium
My roomie for the week was Annette, we had a
great time AND we're still friends!!
It was fun to experience some Mexican culture on
5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen
Loved the pool . . .
Loved the beach . . .
OK, I loved it all!!!
We took a tour to the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza
with Helamen Tours. Helamen is an LDS tour
guide and so it was fun to learn about the culture
from an LDS point of view.
After Chichen Itza we stopped for a swim in this
Cenote. It was quite a treat.
On Sunday we attended church in Playa del Carmen.
I couldn't understand a word they were saying
but did feel the spirit as testimonies were born.
Ready to go snorkeling in Aku Mal
Off on our 3 hour tour!! OK-- it was only a 2 hour
tour and we made it back safely Gilligan . . .
8 Mermaids all in a row. . .
The day before we were to head for home
"Hurricane Paula" was headed for us!!
But really it was nothing more than a few
clouds and a little bit of rain as it turned
and headed toward Cuba instead.
In spite of that when we got to the airport, we found
that all of the flights that day had been cancelled
or delayed except for ours and one to New York.
All because of the Hurricane that wasn't!!
What an awesome week I had with my friends.
Yep---I am VERY lucky!!
