Almost Perfect..........

Well we have been back from Cancun now for 4 days and the trip is fast becoming a distant memory. Things were so hectic when we returned as we had to drive to Ephraim to pick up the girls, go the the Nielson family christmas party and restock the house. The first day back to work was a huge shock to the system and lets not even get into the weather (it went from a perfect 80f to 15f when we arrived back home).

I am so glad that we went but wish that we had have stayed for an extra day or two. I think this is probably one of my most favourite holidays i have ever been on - if not top of the charts. We were a little worried about the weather in the week leading up as all weather reports listed rain for each day but it only rained for 45 minutes immediately after arriving at the resort.

Its been such a long time since Ash and I have had the opportunity to relax together and that was pretty much all we did. It was the most relaxed i have been in for as long as i can remember. I think part of that was due to the fact that it was all inclusive so we did not have to worry about where the funds were going. We went to see Chichen Itza, something I have wanted to do for a long time. We met a bunch of really cool people. I had actually forgotten how much i miss that aspect of being social and we played in all sorts of activities put on by the resort (good times). Not to mention the friendly employees who are constantly checking to see if they can get you anything

Eventhough we werent able to sleep in for as long as i would have liked (apparently 8am is now my threshold rather than 8pm), but a typical day went a little something like this. Out of bed by 8, eat breakfast, hit the pool by 9:30, Eat lunch, back to the pool, sun goes down behind the building by 1:30 so we would have to then hit the beach for anotherhour and a half, retreat to room for afternoon siesta, head down to the bar for pre dinner drinks, Dinner and then head to the bar for socialising (or as Ash and I liked to partake in people watching - who could ever forget some of our favourites: Fat guy, Pink shirt guy, Malibu barbies, Tall awkward skinny girl and her friend), and then back to the room for bed so that we could repeat it the following day!!

I dont believe that the perfect holiday exist but this was as close as it can get. I would have liked to have had an extra few days and wish that we had have gone out to 1 of the clubs with the resort instead of opting out for the resort club. I dont think i complained about one thing the entire trip. It was so good to get to reconnect with the beautiful wife without the two rugrats to interfere.

Seriously the most relaxing time ever!! I would do it all over again...............
