Non-cruise vacation
All of a sudden we had vacation time booked with nothing to do except stay home and work on the house. So with that thought in mind I called Flight Center on Friday and we left for Cancun on Sunday. We had a great time in Mexico. Here are a couple of pictures of our non cruise fill in holiday.
This is where we spent most of our time. Beats renovating.
We spent a whole day at Xel-Ha snorkeling, tubing, sunning, and swimming. Lots to do at this all inclusive water park.
This is a view of our resort from the pool. A 4 star all inclusive in Playa Del Carmen. It was nice to have lots of lawn and trees. Our hotel was on the north end of 5th ave which is a street about 34 blocks long of pedestrian trafic only, lined with shops, restaurants, street vendors, all open to midnight. Brenda had a great time. She shopped til I dropped.
Another day we took a bus, taxi and catamaran to the Isla Mujares. We rented a golf cart and toured the whole island which is only 4 km long and 1/2 km wide.
Between long walks on the beach and lots of swimming during the day, and the sights and sounds of Mexico on 5th ave by night, it turned out to be not a bad vacation for Brenda and I after all. Not exactly what we had originally planned but we have found that anywhere we go together is a great holiday.
Our best vacation is still coming up. We are off to to Saskatoon to see Brad and Karla and Carter in November. Now there is a holiday worth waiting for.
