Well...I just returned from Play del Carmen, Mexico with my brother, Les. It was a trip that I won with Aflac. With the exception of Les partially tearing his calf muscle and not being able to walk for 4 days, it was a pretty good trip. (You can read about Les's accident in his blog leslankhorst.blogspot.com) I felt terrible for him as he was really looking forward to going...probably more than I was. I always hate leaving my kids to go on vacation. It would have been much more fun if they could've gone too. But it was an "adults only" trip...meaning that they wanted to be able to drink without making a fool of themselves in front of children. We did do quite a lot of drinking and eating as it was an all-inclusive resort. I don't drink nearly as much as some of them, but I guess I did partake more than usual because it was (afterall) free. I did, however, EAT quite a bit. I just love a good breakfast! So, rather than eat my usual bowl of cereal, I filled up on the eggs, bacon, sausage, crossants, pork, french toast, mixed juices, whatever they had! It was all good!
Probably the best day for me was when I went to Cozumel with some Aflac friends and some new friends (Nick and Lindsay) from Seattle that I met. We just kept running into this couple everywhere. I figured we must have been destined to meet, so I'd better hang with them. Besides...they were way cooler than me so they made me look good! :) Nick was very much a biker-looking dude with lots of tats and wore a bandana over his short mohawk so he wouldn't burn his head. He looked much tougher than he acted! He was so funny and real nice! Lindsay was a very cute blonde with very beautiful, blue eyes and a real sweetheart. What a great couple! They were both in their mid to upper 20s, I'd guess. Anyway, we ran into them at the ferry to Cozumel so I asked them if they'd like to rent some scooters with Clark, Mary Beth and I. (Clark is an agent with Aflac and Mary Beth is his wife.) They thought that was a great idea. We ended up riding our scooters around the entire island of Cozumel enjoying the beautiful scenery. The ocean was the clearest blue I'd ever seen! The beaches (for the most part) were gorgeous as well. We stopped at a great restaurant called "The Beach Club" and had great food. It had an awesome view of the ocean and beach.
Anyway...back to reality (as the pilot on Frontier Airlines said when we arrived in K.C.)! I'll put some pictures on here as soon as Les sends them to me from his camera.
Peace.
