Let's go back in time

A lot has happened since October 5th. I finished another class. Holding up my 3.97 GPA. I know I had a lot of Dr's appointments in the middle of October. That all led up to the big trip the last week of October. We went to Cancun with all of my aunt's and uncles, parents, and grandparents.

We left on Saturday the 22nd very early. Nick took us to the airport. We met everyone in Dallas and then continued on to Cancun. From there it's about a 90 minute drive to the resort, Barcelo. It's an all-inclusive resort. We'd never been somewhere like that before and it was nice and relaxing. Sunday we ended up going to Tulum which is some of the Mayan ruins. It was really amazing and a beautiful day.

Monday was a beach day. I promptly got sunburned and my Mom finally got to parasail. Everyone sort of did what they wanted; reading, swimming, snorkeling, etc. Most of the evenings we tried to go to the gym and sit in the saunas or spas. The hot tub was always scalding hot.

Tuesday we went deep sea fishing with my dad and Russell and Misty. We had the boat to ourselves and had it all day. It was a lot of fun and I'm really glad we did it. There wasn't a lot of time between catches and we each got a pretty big catch that wore us out. After we took a "small" (it was gigantic) filet to a local restaurant and had them cook it up for us and it was delicious.

All this time we had been hearing that there might be a hurricane coming. Well Wednesday while some of the people when to some more ruins we hung out and watched the preparation for the hurricane. It was hard to get information on what was really going on. Thursday was the day that they actually shut us down. We were all supposed to be in our room at a certain time and only one restaurant was open. So we spent the afternoon with all our balcony furniture in the middle of the hall playing cards with everyone.

Friday we made a beach day again and it was beautiful. I don't remember doing a whole lot but going snorkeling with Annette, Mark, and Dwight. Saturday we were leaving so we did go down to the beach and hung out for a bit and then headed to the airport. Our plane was delayed in Cancun and we were told we wouldn't make our connection, but running we did. Overall, it was a really fun trip and we had a great time.

Pictures to come!!
