We just got back in town from a tremendous trip "South of the Border" to Mexico. Our resort was stunning and the prices were great thanks to the economy and the whole "Swine Flu Scare". For the record, we saw no traces of Swine Flu besides the serious downturn in the tourist industry as a result of people's fears of dying from a sickness no worse than the common cold. GO TO MEXICO, folks! There is nothing to be afraid of!
In 4 nights/5 days, we struck a balance between one crazy "excursion" day (which consisted of visiting the ruins of Coba, climbing the 2nd tallest pyramid in Mexico, rapelling and zip-lining into and across a sunken Cenote (underground freshwater lakes), as well as actually going inside a Cenote and taking a dip in the crystal clear water.
Outside of the crazy day, there was a lot of relaxing (I read a book!), sitting by the ocean, sitting by the pool, getting in the pool, repeating the cycle... Plus we ventured into the Spa and had massages. It was my first massage and it was really pretty nice.
The best part of the trip? Getting away from everything and spending 5 days with my gorgeous wife of 5 years. No interruptions, no stress, just fun. Happy (late) Anniversary dear!
