Chris and I had a wonderful time on our trip. We stayed at El Dorado Royale in the Rivera Maya area. Every meal was gourmet! I've never had treatment like that and it was worth it. Surprisingly we never had a bad meal the entire time we were there. We mostly hung out with our friends from Houston...Cliff and Julie, Kyle and Tiffani. We did go snorkeling one day. It was a lot of fun. With Dolly forming out in the ocean, we did get some rain our last 2 days. On the day we left it rained on and off all morning. I was glad it did. We went for a walk on the beach just after a rain and found some really neat shells. I brought back most of them in my carry on bag.
Chris and I did go on this trip with a 30% discount through Friends in Paradise. We ended up joining the Exotic Travel Club! I cannot believe we did it. It opens the door for us to purchase travel/vacations at wholesale prices. Not only that, any of our friends or relatives or a friend of a friend--anyone can use our discount! That's how we got our discount for this trip. If you or someone you know wants to go to Mexico, we can get you a trip booked at least 30% off what you would pay through a travel agent or something like Expedia. The El Dorado Royale, a Karisma resort, was just recently awared the "hotel of the year" and is consistently named on the list of the "most romantic resorts in the world." It truly is a wonderful place. Chris and I are excited about our trip next year. In joining the Exotic Travel Club, we will stay for a week FREE in a Casita Suite!
It was really nice being at an adults only place. By the end of the trip, we did miss our little monkeys! Our flight home was delayed by 40 mins to get home. It just seemed to take forever! The kids were great for Papaw and Marner. They had their own little vacation with them. We've really had a great summer!
