Hola! We’re on our 2nd full day of vacation in beautiful Mexico and loving it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The trip started on Wednesday when we flew out of Unalakleet. We didn’t arrive here at the Costa de Oro until 4:00 Thursday afternoon. Flying through the night is not my favorite, but it’s certainly worth it to be here.<\/p>\n
I was concerned that this stay was going to be a flop. I chose this hotel based on price and pictures at hotels.com. We got here and found our room. The main part of the hotel is right along the beach, however, they’ve also got another (less desirable) building across the street. That’s where our room was. It was very dark, and I was disappointed. Maybe I’ve just been spoiled since I stay in hotels so often now, but we asked to be moved. Luckily, they had room, and now we’re in a room that looks like the pictures that were online. We’re also close to the pool and have a peak at the ocean from our balcony. It’s good.<\/p>\n
Thursday was gloomy and cool, and I was worried that Bill would not get the Mexican experience I’ve talked up for years. Luckily, yesterday the weather resumed a nice high 80 something, and today followed suit. We spent both days lying by the pool, sipping margaritas and coronas and eating chips & salsa. Yum!<\/p>\n
We’ve had early evenings, as the sun takes a lot out of you. I’m at least trying to abide by the 9:00 or later bedtime rule that Ape and I established here years ago. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
We’re planning to head out to Stone Island tomorrow… though we’ve been enjoying our time around the pool here that it’s tempting to spend every day here. I know we’ll be happy we went once we get there.<\/p>\n
I’m trying to get some pictures on the gallery, if you want to have a look. Wish you were all here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
