We just got back from 2 weeks vacation in the sunny Mayan Rivieria. When we left, the weather here wasn’t too bad (-3 deg C), but when we got back…holy crap! -33 deg C.
We all had a great time down south. 2 weeks seemed to be the perfect amount of time. Last year we went for a week, and that just didn’t feel long enough. We were just starting to wind down when we had to think of coming home. This time we are all relaxed, rejuvenated but still not ready for -33!
Again, we met Lynda’s sister and family at the resort (they are from Toronto) and the girls are always excited to see their cousins. Amy & Dean have 3 girls as well, all close in age to ours, so it works out great.
We did one excursion this time to Xel-Ha, which was a blast. We swam with the dolphins, snorkeled in amazing waters, did some zip lining, and I jumped off the cliff of courage (around 20 feet high, which you have to climb up on a rope before you jump off the top!).
Everyone had a great time swimming, eating and drinking, laying on the beach catching rays, eating, drinking, seeing the shows, drinking, and eating…
I bought a Nikon AW100 underwater point & shoot camera before the trip, and I spent a lot of time in the water snapping pics and taking video. So far I’m fairly impressed with the photo quality of the underwater shots.
Here are some photos from our trip:
