The Mexican Riviera - a great place to vacation!!

The computer issue has gratefully resolved and so before I become involved in working outside today here are some pictures from my vacation on the Yucatan Peninsula aka The Mexican Riviera. The hotel staff welcomed us with a glass of champagne and continued during our stay to be helpful and courteous. I felt like a queen with all the attention. We took a tour of the hotel's greenhouse and after hearing about all the ways in which this particular hotel uses "green" technology knew that we had made a good choice and will go there again. The whole family is saving money for another trip to Hacienda Tres Rios.

The food was ever present and delicious, a constant array of delights in which I indulged to my heart's content. We tasted every strange dish, enjoyed ocotopus kebabs, reveled in fresh fruit and were awed by the avacados.

The beds were soft and the pillows plump. The three pools stretched out forever and were a great place to lounge. I loved the beds on the beach, what fun. Went on a foray into the jungle and paddled back down the river to the ocean in a kayak. Took a side trip to the ecopark, Xcaret, http://www.xcaret.com/, where my granddaughter swam with the dolphins, creating lifelong memories.

Didn't want to come home to the freezing temperature lol.. but am grateful that we survived the worst plane ride of my entire life! And now for pictures....

Our Favorite Spot for Breakfast

How about a nap on the beach?

And YES I did rest!!

Ah the beautiful blue ocean!

I'm all about traveling these days and tomorrow night will be driving to Kansas City for the first leg in my trip to the Mexican Riviera. I am going there with my youngest daughter and granddaughter. We will flying out of KCI at 9:30 a.m. and expect to land in sunny Mexico about 2:30 in the afternoon. We will return to Missouri next Wednesday night.

The accomodations are terrific..

Our trip plan is all inclusive so food and drink are included.. I can't wait to eat, drink, and be merry, lounge on the beach, get a tan, soak up sun, see the sights, enjoy wildlife, hear my granddaughter's laughter, be with my daughter, wear my new clothes, and be joyful, grateful, and at peace. Of course I don't have to wait.. I have all these things and more right now!

My daughter has been down there several times, but this is my first trip and I am so excited! I am taking lots of pictures and will write another post when I get back.

I am grateful for my daughter who bought me the ticket.
I am grateful for my husband who takes care of things at home.
I am grateful for the abundance of the universe.
I am grateful for the love that surrounds and upholds me.
I am grateful for good health and wonderful body.
