Bienvenidos a Mexico!

Well, we have arrived safe and sound in Mexico! Our traveling day was quite long...we arrived 2 hours early to the airport, took a 6 hour plane ride, shuffled through immigration and customs, and then endured an hour and a half bus ride to our resort. But, we're here now.

Last night all we really did was unpack and eat dinner. And let me tell you, the dinner we had made all the traveling worth it. First, they brought out the most delicious appetizers (now, let me remind you, this is an ALL INCLUSIVE resort): chicken fingers, mini tacos, and chips with salsa and guacamole. Toren, of course, ordered his first (of probably thousands) virgin pina colada. And then....the main course: Toren orded this amazing flank steak and I got a quesadilla (I know it seems silly to come all this way for a little cheese between two tortillas, but it was what a wanted). Both meals were fabulous! I can't wait to have dinner tonight.

Today we spent the day getting a lay of the land and soakin' up some much needed rays. The boys played a little water polo and volleyball in the pool. Tomorrow we're going scuba diving, which should be incredible!

Here's our room (yes that's a jacuzzi tub behind the bed)

Kayaking in the mangroves. Toren, lounging as usual

You don't know how jealous I am of you right now. How about I just come down and join you all. I am sure 27 wouldn't make much difference. The hammock looks so relaxing.
