It's our annual holiday in Mexico. We arrived at our fabulous resort yesterday, after driving all over Cancun trying to find Costco. (To pick up a few essentials to stock the villa.) So hilarious... Driving in circles, not sure if the Oxxo on the right is the same one we passed on the left twenty minutes earlier... Passing the Chedraui on each of the bordering streets... Finding ourselves stuck on a dead-end in a sketchy neighborhood... Getting hungry... Not arguing really, but not agreeing on which way to go either. I would love to see our track from overhead, like a gps cartoon view or something. Finally stopped at a farmacia for directions to the airport, since that was on our way out of Cancun to the resort, and we were pretty sure we could communicate that much in Spanish. The kindly gentleman used register paper to make a map of sorts, drawing stoplights and arrows. Wasn't too complicated, fortunately we only had to make one turn to get on the right road. The funniest part... You can guess... We finally found Costco!
After picking up coffee, crackers, cheese, salami, bacon, eggs, wine, etc, we headed south to Playa del Carmen. Driving through the pouring rain in the dark was not exactly the journey we had planned, but arrived safe and sound. So good to be back! The little store on premises supplied us with juice and milk to round out the sparse larder. We like to cook a little when we are here, and eat out a lot! After all, it IS vacation! Polished off the first bottle of wine and called it a night.
Spent some time on the beach this morning and enjoyed our favorite grouper sandwiches for lunch. Lazy afternoon spent sleeping off the day of travel and reviewing the resort activity schedule, then a visit to the spa to schedule massage time & pick up a pass for the gym. Finished the book I started on the airplane, and we're off to dinner at La Palapa! I'm starting to unwind :)
