Cozumel 2008

Well it is great to be home but I would love to be back on the beach!!!
We are home, back from our wonderful and beautiful vacation. We had so much fun. Of course we missed the kids dearly and couldn't wait to get back to their smiling faces.
Ricky and I had a relaxing time in Cozumel. We met some really great people.
~Monday the 16th when we arrived at about 3 we got settled into the hotel room. We walked around the resort to see where everything was. We sat at the bar and talked to people mostly. Then as it got dark we went and had dinner at one of the restaurants one the resort. Great food! That is when we meet some really nice guys. Two were from Conroe and two were from Chicago. After dinner we went to the Bar and drank some more and watched Karaoke.
~Tuesday we slept in. After waking up we went to the gym and worked out for a bit. Did breakfast. Tuesday we took it easy. we layed on the beach, we snorkeled, went swimming, Drank. Had a bite to eat for lunch. Just hung out at the resort Tuesday.
~Wednesday we went to Xcaret in Playa. We had to take the fairy over, it was a 30 min ride from Cozumel. Xcaret was a big park. We snorkeled in the underground river they have there. We walked around and saw some animals. That night we went to an awesome show they put on. They played a game that the Mayans use to play where the ball is on fire. Really neat! We also had dinner there at the show. The show also was a run down of the Mexican culture. Very nice! That was a long day we got back about 12am.
~Thursday we got up at 4am after going to bed a few hrs earlier. We were going to go swim with whale sharks and Manta rays.
Very amazing experience. They are only there 2 months out of the year and we were lucky enough to experience it. Ricky was pushed almost into the mouth of one of them. So funny I never saw him swim so fast to get away. Hahaha, so now it's a joke. I tell him it would be hard for me to explain why he got eaten by a whale shark. They want you to see them up close so they pull the boat around then push you out. They are harmless so if yo get to close they just swim faster or deeper. One guy got hit by the tail, moved him about 2 ft. I almost ran into the back of one, I realized there was his tail so I backed off a little. After that we went snorkeling at the reef. Very long day started very early.
After we were done with that we got back to Cozumel and we went shopping in town.
~Friday was a relax by the pool day. We worked out, played a little tennis. We had an hour at the spa. That was very nice. Then we sat by the pool the rest of the day. Drank Mai-Tais all afternoon and talked with some people we had meet the days before. For dinner we went into town to a local Mexican restaurant with the guys we met. That was very nice. Needed to get away from the whole resort atmosphere for a bit. Have some real drinks...haha!! One of the guys Brian ordered coffee espanol which translated into "sexy coffee" at La Casa Mission, very good stuff!! the presentation to make it was just as great. Then we hung out at the resort for a bit before heading to pack up.
~Saturday we left paradise!! Very happy to come home to the kids.
All in all it was a great vacation. We had a wonderful time.
