Mexico - November 2010

I couldn't believe my luck when Stuart agreed to a beach holiday, especially as the ski resorts in Canada were opening for the start of the much awaited ski season. He obviously needed a well earned break, so I must remember this for next year (definitely Hawaii)! We flew direct to Cancun and stayed in a lovely all inclusive called Dreams about 30 mins or so from the airport. The weather was ok (not great) and I managed to soak up a few rays by the pool each day, in between transporting the girls to and from the kids club. Kids club was free and open from 9am to 10.30pm everyday and the girls wanted to go. We simply exchanged the girls for a circular type pager which would flash and vibrate if the girls needed us. When the girls weren't at Kids club they were in the swimming pool. I think they were both fish in a previous life!

The hotel was located right on the beach, it had a beautiful infinity pool, swing bar and a spa, all of which making it a prime venue for weddings and whilst we were there were many. The food was good (no dicky tummies) and the cocktails just kept coming (non-alcoholic for the girls of course). Holly's favourite was the "mudslide" and Amy's the "strawberry daiquiri". We even had a jacuzzi on our balcony. All in all a great week away. We never left the hotel mind, but returned suitably tanned, especially Holly.
