Fun in the sun......Well, sort of...........

So, every year The Husband takes the top Sales Person (technically, My Hubby is the top Sales Person in the Company, so I guess it is the second best Producer in the Company) to Mexico as a thank you.  A Recruiter goes as well.  There is only one that has been with the Company long enough to qualify at this point, then "My Brother in Law and Sister in Law" go as well..  I always feel like these trips really aren't a vacation since it is with the Hubby's employees and I have to be on my best behavior which is hard to do when you are just real and it's hard to be fake!!!  I struggle greatly with it and the Hubby has gotten in trouble for the things that I say from his "Brother", so I really, really try hard!!!  I am just not good at being phony at all!!!  I guess I need to buy a book on how to be a phony fake.  Is there such a thing??  Maybe I need to write a book about it if there isn't one just as soon as I figure out how to do it!  So, I would really like to go back to the resort we stayed at with just my Hubby and me to really have fun!!! 

So, we left Dallas Wednesday, January 8th on a very fog, dreary day.  It was a perfect time to get out of Dallas and get some sun since I had spent most of December sick!  When we got to the Cancun airport it was PACKED!!!  So, we had a little wait to get through Customs and back check.  Once we got outside, it was SO humid and cloudy.  The sun was no where in sight.  Sigh!!!!  So, we got in the van to the Hotel and grabbed some beer for the road trip.  It took about 40 minutes to get from the airport to the Hotel.  When we pulled up, I was so happy to see the Hotel was super nice!  It was the first time we had stayed at this Hotel.  It was Excellence Playa Mujeres, which I did a lot of research on before booking the trip and the reviews were excellent.  It was pretty the best all inclusive resort I have ever stayed in.  Definitely worth every penny!! 

So, once we got checked into our room, it was still raining, so I decided to take a siesta!  It was the best sleep I have had in a long time!!  I finally woke up at 7:45pm.  The Husband had about 10 text messages from our Party.  So, we got up and got ready to go to dinner.  Everyone else had already eaten, so we went to the Agave, which was the Mexican restaurant at the resort.  The food was SO GOOD!!!  I think the Hubby was pretty blown away at how good the food was for an all inclusive resort.  The food is usually just ok.  We met up with the rest of our party after dinner and had drinks and just talked. 

The next day we woke up to another dreary day!  I was really over this weather by now!  I can for SUN!!!  So, we decided to go to the spa for massages.  We did a massage on the beach, which was a little cold, but it was actually pretty great! 

The sun FINALLY came out on Friday and we all took the boat over to Isla Mujeres.  I HIGHLY recommend this place as it is simply MAGNIFICIANT!!!  You can rent a golf cart for the day and just drive around the island.  the water is SO PRETTY!!!  This year we went zip lining, which I was a little nervous about, but I did it and can't wait to do it again!!  It was fun!!! 

I just love the towel swans they made!

The Jacuzzi bath had a window that opened to the patio which was awesome!!

The candelabra was in the lobby of Agave and I had to take a picture of it because it was SO cool!!

I loved that they still had the resort decorated for Christmas!!!  It was still that way when we left on Sunday! 

This was at our favorite bar in Isla Mujeres. 

This was Friday night after the rain was over so my hair isn't near as frizzy from the humidity.

This was the view from our room. 

I loved the daybed on our balcony.  We spent most of the day Thursday on that thing just watching the rain before our spa appointment

We were back at Agave on Saturday night after we had to leave The Lobster House due to the lobster being horrible!!  it was the only thing I ate the whole time that was bad!  They had the best Mango Margaritas in the world!!  To die for!!!!

Getting ready to go down the zip line!  This picture also was my realization that I need to drop a few pounds!  My arms look SO big and I won't even talk about the fat roll above my harness!  YUCK!!!!!

 

Oh, I also totally forgot to post the best present I got last year!  I LOVE IT!!!!!

This was a gift from "B".  She knows I love shoes, so this was perfect, plus the saying is very fitting!!  It is my Motto for 2014!! 

It says, "The DREAMS that you dare to DREAM REALLY DO COME TRUE!!
