Finally, after waiting a week, I'm sharing with you some pictures of our whirlwind weekend in Cancun at the Hilton. Enjoy!The view from our room: Adam & Fred by the pool:My sweetie (before he noticed his beer): Adam wasn't smiling anymore after seeing this: Yes, we all tried to fit in the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom...except for me. I just HAD to go outside and lean over the balcony to take this shot:The view from mine & Adam's private balcony: Looking down on to the lobby bar area from the 9th floor:Why, yes, room 900 is the Presidential Suite!I wish my living room looked this spectacular!Adam with Robert, our favorite guy at the Hilton!The food on Friday night (we had a private party in our room both nights):Show me the sushi!Why do I always get stuck with the Jager shots?? I … [Read more...]
Is this week really over??
You don't know how badly I am ready for this week to be over with. It's been ridiculous.First of all, I cannot seem to shake the fatigue. That's mostly due to the fact that this stupid head cold has me up all night either coughing up a lung or shooting what I'm convinced is my brain out of my nose. My poor nose. So much skin has fallen off of it this past week that I'm surprised that I even have a nose left...ah, well, I guess it's just good and exfoliated. Of course, the drowsiness could also stem from the fact that I've been eating the Tussicaps prescribed to me like candy. Well, no, not really, but the codeine makes me feel all warm & fuzzy on the inside and really K.O.'s my cough.Of course, this cold could just be some twisted punishment from God for picking up my sick child from … [Read more...]
I went to Mexico and all I got was…
A really gnarly sunburn, but we lovingly refer to it as my racing stripe.A beer gut -- since I was only in Mexico for two days I figured that I would need to drink as many Leon beers as I could handle since I can't buy them here.The opportunity to BE SOMEBODY -- what do YOU know about Room 900? Yep...the Presidential Suite, baby!Some new friends -- East coast meets West coast and how about that random couple from Ohio?!A much needed vacay -- two days wasn't enough, but it did the trick!A pile of dirty laundry -- who knew I could go through THAT many shirts in a two day period?? Thank goodness I packed extra underwear, though...we didn't realize we would end up staying in Atlanta for two & a half days (so much for that 5 hour layover).A raging head cold -- and, NO, it's not strep. I do … [Read more...]
The Quickie
After 2.5 hours of sleep, one sick child, a hasty packing job, one speeding ticket, a nearly botched check-in and a TSA search of my carry-on I can finally say that I made it to Atlanta safely. There's an Egg McMuffin in my belly and Adam just downed two sausage buiscuts...and now we wait. One more hour to go and we will be on a plane bound for Cancun, Mexico. We will only be there for the weekend, but it is a much needed trip that Adam and I have both been looking forward to. … [Read more...]
Don’t be hatin’!
That's right. In 18 days, I'll be here: That's a picture I took from one of my last visits to the Hilton Cancun Golf & Spa Resort. It's from 2005, so the hotel has changed a little bit since then. Adam and I spent one drunken night there this past September when we visited his father for the day since we were all in Mexico at the same time. While Adam and I prefer spending our days on the beach in Playa del Carmen (about 45 minutes south of Cancun), I am no dummy and will NOT pass up a free vacation -- well, mini vacation (we're only going for the weekend).I'm excited about this impromptu trip. Adam and I just cancelled our March Mexico trip. We just couldn't swing it with work, finances, etc...well, we COULD, but work would have been the problem. But, like they say, when one … [Read more...]
