I’ve never been a quiet laugher. When something strikes me as funny, it’s very obvious to everyone around. I have different laughs…one that sounds like a goose, a French Santa-Claus, snorts, wheezes…a ton. My friends have named them all over the years. Well, they all sounded different in Mexico. I can’t remember what was said or what happened, but I started lauhing. And it sounded strange. So my friends started laughing at MY laughing. Making me laugh more. When I looked up, several tables of people around us were smiling and/or laughing with/at us and I received a comment about how nice it is to see young people enjoying themselves and thanking us for having fun! hahaha
it was fun!

How I did it: We saw people parasailing and found a couple places right on the beach near us that you could parasail with. We asked for information and found a company that did a bench and one that did a harnass. My friend Sarah and I wanted the bench while our friend Megs wanted the harnass. We even managed to talk the price down a bit because the harnass was cheaper. So we got the bench for the harnass price. We took a waverunner to a boat where we t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It's easy. I heard/saw something that hit me as really funny and I had a big laugh attack which made others laugh. Sure, more at me laughing than anything, but still...it was fun! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was at the bank depositing a check anyway and just asked. It was quick and painless. I had to have at least $50 to start it with and I was even able to set up a recurring transfer from my checking account into the savings account. So I'll be making an automatic deposit into the savings from checking each month.I chose one with a lower interest rate because I was able to make as many withdrawals a month as I wanted whereas I had limited … Read how I did it…

Two of my best friends, Megs and Sarah, joined me on an international excursion to Cancun, Mexico! I have sooo missed traveling! And I’m missed the Spanish language! I loved every minute of our time in Cancun. Even though it rained some, we still got plenty of sun and ocean time! And as the Mexican Christopher Walkin look-alike waiter, Jose, said…Sarah took too much sun! hahaha I’ve included a pic I took with my phone from our hotel room window early early on the last day. Doesn’t really do the view or Cancun justice, but it’s all I have access to right now.
I definitely recommend Cancun to anyone looking for a great vacation. And I definitely recommned the Oasis Viva Beach hotel. Clean, beautiful, all-inclusive, fun, great staff! And all-inclusive is definitely the way to go!!!!
Almost everyone speaks English around the whole city, so that’s not a problem…but if you do have a working knowlege of Spanish, it’s fun, makes things even easier, and makes some of the locals happy! lol
There was serisouly something for everyone…R&R, swimming, good food, great shopping, local crafts, high end stores, nightclubs, fun restaurants, tours, parasailing…everything fun and exciting and perfect!
It was Paradise! Don’t want to be home…
I want to travel again! But it’ll be hard to choose between somewhere new or back to this fantastic city/country!
I finally found 43 things I want to do and made this list…I’ve decided I like lists. I want to make more and upkeep them…actually check things off! Here’s to my first item checked off my list!
