MEXICO!!!

In September, I was fortunate enough to enjoy a weeklong vacation in Cancun, Mexico. And all on "For Your Pleasure's" dime! This was the FREE TRIP that I earned with the company and it was soooo awesome! What made it more amazing was that we were lucky enough that it was all-inclusive! Ohhhh yeah... the food was on my mind.

I spent the week lazing by the pool with a trip to Chichen Itza, a visit to Selvatica for some ziplining, a visit to a local market for real carnitas and orchata, and a trip to XCaret. And, many late-night trips to the 24-hour spot that had gelato... yummm...

Cancun is so beautiful -- with its soft, soft sand... amazingly blue waters (the colors seemed so unreal), beautiful people...

We stayed at the Cancun Caribe Park Royal Grand (yeah, try memorizing THAT name. it took me the entire week) where the staff was so accommodating and friendly. The food there was so yummy. I may not have had any alcohol, but I certainly ate my fair share!

What a much-needed vacation!
