Wow, what a great week it has been. It took 4 full days to let my real life go and finally fall into the rabbit hole, what a great place that is! We've been gone so long we talk to each other in spanglish, we make jokes about American's and started playing the what would we do or where would we live if we won the lottery. That's a good game!
Sam had a great time too. He golfed, he read 5 full books and batted 1000 in the "s" department, he's a happy man! We woke up this morning and it took a little while to pack up the hotel and all our belonging as we brought everything! It was sad, we passed each other in the hall back and forth and I could read his mind and he surely could read mine......Nonetheless, it was amazing and we started to get in touch with real life as we checked out of the hotel. Evidently all those Conga's and daquiries and facials and golf can really add up :) But nothing, not even that could ruin the great time we had or tarnish the memory of our new found friends.
Our new friends are "William", the cabana boy, he brought me all my snacks, and drinks and never made me lift not so much as a little pinky, all I had to do was sign the little paper every now and then, I love William. And then there was "Nancy", her real name was Isadora, I don't know why she uses Nancy, maybe she is afraid people would call her Dora the Explorer or something like that. She was Williams back up, I like Nancy too. Then there is "Eduardo", he arranged our boat trip, spoke perfect english, probably was American, who knows, but he was very friendly and accomodating. Another friend we made is "Alexis", he is actually a boy, I don't imagine that was his real name, and I'm sure he didn't know it was a girls name. He was a 10 year old boy in training to be a super star sales man. A mighty fine job he did of squishing the last 250 pesos I had on me.......cute little guy and his english skills were coming along. "Maid", I don't know her name, I just gave her money every day and she doesn't know it, but we are besties. I hate to clean and she made my life complete. She even washed all the dishes each day, go figure, I definitely wanted to bring her home in the suitcase but I didn't know how to say it in spanglish so sadly, she stayed behind. Of course I dont' want to leave out my NEW BFF, her name is "Veronica", like scooby doo, but she doesn't look like that. She is my facialist, the one that MAY or MAY NOT have violated me, either way, I don't care! I love HER!
On our way out of town, we grabbed a few drugs, more thrifty ice cream, and one quick stop at the Bodega Aurrera (mexican walmart) to grab some goodies and of course tortillas.
Sadly, we leave our new friends behind and head back to reality. Re-entry (not rear entry, all you pervs) is always the toughest part. Not the actual crossing of the border that was easy, they asked us what was or native country, we did have to think a little as we had been gone such a long time, but we got the answer right, "the good ol' USA. We passed!
We made it home in less than a 3 hour drive, why we don't do this more, I'll never know. But that is the end of our fabulous vacation and I look forward to planning the next one. Thanks for your interest, hope you learned a little something and gained some insight as to what it feels like to be a total and complete vacation loser. Next time I won't be so green and maybe, just maybe I'll get it on day one, wish me luck and hope for the least amount of peeling possible, bless this wreck!
