It's Official!

I’ve booked one of my two upcoming summer vacations. I’m heading off to Cancun over the 4^th of July holiday. I cannot wait. It’s been so long since I’ve taken a real vacation - I think the last real vacation I took was to NYC last year. Originally we were going to stay four days, but adding two additional days only added $50 dollars to cost of the trip so why not. I’ve never done an all inclusive resort so I’m nervous but excited. We opted for a much nicer hotel than originally anticipated, 4 stars built in 2007 complete with 10 restaurants and 11 bars on the premises so hopefully we won’t have to venture too far off the beatin’ path – this after American tourist are being shot and beheaded in Mexico. Though, I’m not really ‘that’ worried as the violence is occurring in the border towns such as Juarez and along drug trafficking routes. I’m wondering what a 4^th of July in Mexico is like…similar to the USA holiday with fireworks and celebration or will it just be Sunday, July 4^th an average Sunday. We shall see. One thing is for damn sure; I better come back with a tan that could pass for a George Hamilton look-alike.
