Wow what an awesome adventure at Cancun, probably one of the best times of my life!
So I didn't sleep before my flight...which was at 5am and we left here at 230 am. We were the very first flight and all went smoothly. Getting off the plane in 80 degree weather was awesome and relaxing...:)
We arrived in cancun around 930 am (1130 here at home). Harland and I both slept on the plane multiple times so I did manage to get some sleep. We got to Ambiance Villas, our hotel, at 11. You walk in and see the beach. So our room wasn't going to be ready til 3, so we were allowed to stay on the beach and pool. We also had lunch at the hotel where I had my first drink called a Miami Vice, which is a strawberry daiquiri and pina colada mixed, SO GOOD! I ended up falling asleep on the beach and got burned but nothing too bad.
That night we went to Margaritaville. There was homemade guacamole, tequila shots, and awesome bbq. I also had a 20oz margarita,...oh so yummy. We went on the bus but it didn't stop, so by the time we got off the bus, we needed to walk a mile back to the hotel. Scary and crazy at the exact same time. By the time we got back, I was so drunk and tired, I passed out around 830.
The next day we had snorkeling, still dealing with the time change I was up by 6, when it felt like 8, and with the 10 hours of sleep, I was well rested. We went to aquaworld where we continued to wait to get on another bus that took us to village area. We got on a ferry that took us to Cozumel island where the snorkeling took place! So clear, water was like bath water and the fish were all around that. One fish even bit harland, pretty freakin sweet if you ask me. We then got back to island where we continued to shop and where I got a lot of people presents. We went to Bubba Gump Shrimp when we got back where I found myself face to face with a kid that I went to highschool with, so funny!
The third day we went parasailing and horseback riding. We had to go to another hotel for parasailing. The coolest part is that we were driven out to the boat by jetski then went around 300ft in the air for an ocean view.
We then went to another hotel where we went yet another bus to go horseback riding. By far my favorite part of the trip. We went in the water with them! Like the only thing that was left dry on the horse was its head lol We went to dinner that night at Senor Frogs where I got a yard of a drink. It was kickass.
The last day...so sad :( So when booking this whole thing we went through a service called Best Day. He said that our plane was canceled on the way home, but we were booked with American Airlines and all set. When we got to check in for the plane ride, that was a lie. We missed our flight. So they managed to get us on a 435 plane ride to Miami and then a Miami to Boston at 850...we had half and hour to get through baggage claim, customs, and passports. We were convinced that we were not going to make it. Not only that, but we were on the butt of the plane, last row everything. Right when we landed we pushed through and managed to get through customs and everything in under 5 minutes to spare. Then the guy who was checking us in said today was our lucky day and we got bumped to FIRST CLASS!! Blankets, full course meal, and great movies. The quote is there is no time for shoes because we both had to run barefoot to make it to the gate.
This week was great! It was awesome hanging out with my best friend lol It was really nice just being friends with no desire to do anything...at least I had no desire to do anything with him lol. Either or everything was great and I would do everything again! Pictures and videos will be coming soon and will be awesome!!
