White Sands

The sand in Mexico is so warm and soft. I don’t think I have ever see sand this color anywhere else I have been to. It tiny grains glitter. There are no rocks in it. Not like the Beaches back home where its full of rocks and seaweed. No seaweed here. Also no tide. The water stays at the same level all the time. Nice breeze so it really doesn’t feel as hot as it is, but as soon as you go behind a building that breeze from the ocean is blocked and you feel like you could fall over from the heat. I can deal with it. I just go have a beer in the shade.

Mexico!

As you all know I am in Mexico! Gregg and I and Gregg’s dad  has joined us. We are in Playa Del Carmen. Its about 45 minutes down the coast from Cancun. It is beautiful here. I wont be posting as much since its not easy to do. We would have to find a internet cafe and pay to sit there for a while, and why do that when there are so many other things we could be doing.

When we get back I will do a full trip report. I’m sure it will take a few days to blog about everything. Well, I’m off to the beach.

This is it!

Today is the day. We are leaving this evening. As soon as Gregg gets home from work we will grab our bags and head for the border. Drive down to Seattle Airport, park the car and meet up with Glen. He is driving down in his car since he will be coming home next saturday. Then we all get to be scanned and hopefully there won’t be any problems with our bags. I can’t see there being a problem but you never know. I’m just a bit worried that we might have to check Gregg’s bag. He has his back pack and the camera bag which the size of a small back pack. The US Airways website says that we can each have 1 carry-on that measures 11x14x26 and weighs up to 40lbs plus a personal item like a camera case or purse or diaper bag. So I think we should be ok.

I know, I’m babbling…I’m just excited! I just can’t believe it! 3 WEEKS!!!! I get to lay around the beach soak up the sun and have drinks. I’m going to look like a dry roasted peanut by the time I get home…lol.  No, I don’t sit in the sun and tan till my skin falls off. That is ugly. I might get a bit crispy.

I hope I get some sleep on the plane. The next 24 hours are going to be long. Anyways, I hope that all of you here at home have a fun Halloween, I know I will. Don’t do anything crazy while I’m away, I wouldn’t want to miss it. I’ll try to think of you all in the rain and snow, it might help cool me down in the hot sun.

Adios!

Here is a link to a webcam in front of one of the places we will be at. The Halloween party will here.

 I have added an “about me” page. It at the top on the right side. Go take a look, read it over and leave a comment if you want. Maybe you want to ask me something? About what? who cares! Ask away! I am not afraid! I’ll answer all questions.

I have also been adding stuff to my sidebar. I’m not sure if I will keep it all. Right now I am just testing stuff. I want to built traffic to my site. Maybe some of you people out there have ideas to share with me?

You may also have noticed that under my post is an ad. I know some can be annoying thats why I have picked ones that are easy on the eyes and  don’t sit there and blink in neon colors. I hate those ones. The reason for these ads is to try to make a tiny bit of cash. Since I don’t work and cant work because of my neck injury, I am hoping that people will click on these ads so that I can say I am doing something too to pay the bills. I feel bad that Gregg works so hard for so little money and I sit here and wish I could help. Thats why I am trying to get traffic.

Oh and now you are probably thinking “they are going to Mexico, they have money”. Well we have been saving the money for the last 5 years. I saved all my change to pay for the tickets. Plus we use the itravel2000 credit card that gives us travel points. So its not like we can just travel when ever we want. We have worked hard at budgeting and saving our pennies.

Anyways, I’m babbling again….lol. The point is…click click click!….hehehe
