CANCUN HONEYMOON

So, one of the days we were laying out on the beach I looked over to catch Ben furiously typing a LONG note into my phone. He wouldn't let me read it at the time of course, but I later found the following: (This is Ben's version of our honeymoon adventures, he has no idea I'm posting this online, so anything you see that looks like this: 👍 had to be edited out!

Honeymoon in Cancun
 Day 1 August 17th - Vdara hotel in Las Vegas.  👍
August 18th - left hotel at 5 and got to Vegas airport to head to cancun. made it to Phoenix and then got excellent seats (exit row) on the way to cancun. patty hooked us up. we
made friends with another honeymoon couple at the money exchange. we are a way hotter couple. we flew for 4 hours on a kinda cold flight but when we stepped into the cancun sun it felt like a sauna! we took a yellow cab to our hotel and the check in was great. we got a really cool room with a balcony. 👍 we went to a fantastic seafood dinner and the salmon was super good. we wanted dessert so we explored the other resort we have access to and found las Fuentes restaurant buffet and enjoyed some dessert. after that we went on a little stroll to find other fun stuff about our resort. 👍
August 19th - we woke up early 👍 after that we took a real nap until we were hungry for breakfast. :) breakfast was pretty good and they have an omelette station that is bomb.  after food we went back to the room and mace took a well needed rest and I hit the gym. 💪 after that we hit the beach!! yay!! water is so warm and sand is so white and soft! best beach ever! mace even swam with me! :) we stayed there for a couple hours and had plenty of miami vices, pina coladas, and strawberry daquiris. we then made our way to the other pool cause it's way more rad. we had some lunch and mace got in trouble for wearing a swimsuit at a beach lunch haha. food was ok and we sat by the pool for awhile and soaked in the sun and fun. we went back to the beach and played around for awhile. after that we decided to head back to the room and get ready for a fancy dinner. 👍 we got all ready and dinner was pretty awesome! rib eye steak. we went to las Fuentes to see what they had and of course they were having a Mexican fiesta and had tacos al pastor and churros! we got some of those and headed back to the room. 👍
August 20th - we slept in big time. then we went to breakfast at las Fuentes and it was really good. 👍
when we woke up to go to the beach there was a huge storm so we slept again. after another hour or so we went out, got some lunch, and made it to the beach. all the Mexican workers love me and think it's awesome that I speak such good Spanish. The beach day was a success of course and we love that the ocean is as warm as the hot tub at our resort! :\ Dinner was delicious and our favorite restaurant is bogavante which is a reataurant with a perfect ocean view.  We went for a walk after 👍
August 21st - today was our early day. we got up at 6 and went to breakfast. we went to the tour place to book a tour for Xel-ha and tulum. it was a little hectic and the prices were a little different than we thought but we be on vacation and don't curr much. :) we were the only whities headed on the tour and that was fun. we made it to tulum after an hour and a half on the bus. what a cool place! our tour guide was awesome! Delio was his name. Tulum was incredible. we got there and took a tractor trolley to the entrance. doesn't get much more Mexican than that. :) we walked through the north wall entrance and the view was awesome. people lived there from 1100-1600 A.D.  we saw temples, houses, ancient mayan calendars, and tons of iguanas! it was crazy. the beach was so pretty too! after two hours there we went to find some souvenirs and got on the bus to Xel-ha. soooo Xel-ha is pretty much an amazing outdoor, natural waterpark with almost everything you can imagine! rope swings, cliff jumps, snorkeling with fish, crabs, stingrays (mace is super fond of those), dolphins, manatees, etc. sooo cool! we ate and then took the trail to the river head. we got our snorkeling gear and got on our tube. it was fun floating down the river. then we went to the cliff jump and it was sweet. Mace went off twice and i was so happy she did. :) we also climbed the cliff back up to jump off again and mace was the only girl I saw do the whole thing. my baby is legggggit! we got back in our tube and did the balance rope, zip lines, and snorkeling. we took our gear back, got a quick bite, and headed down the other trail. we saw some cool animals that mace called "perritos." :) they were like meerkats or something. Xel-ha was amazing. we were really glad we went! we got home and had our best dinner with our best waiter Ulisses. he introduced us to a new drink called the banana sexy. so good! 👍 snoozed.
                  
 August 22nd - our last full day. we woke up and got breakfast followed by a good nap. ;) we headed to the beach and it was so sunny and beautiful out. we seriously lucked out. :) we hung out there for awhile and the sand and ocean is something we will both miss I'm sure. we got a snack after (which proved to make us both pretty sick) and went to the royal's pool cause it's was cooler. Mace got a spa treatment after that and I went to the gym.  we wanted to go to dinner at bogavante but it had the same menu as two nights before. we went to the Veneto restaurant and that was a good experience. our waiter was way cool and found out it was our honeymoon so he prepared us a special dessert! a type of bananas foster that was delicious 👍... 😁 we ate it up so fast haha. we went on a little walk after that, but we kinda started feeling sick so we went to bed. 👍 good day.
August 23rd - last day of our amazing honeymoon. :( we woke up and we both were a little queasy but we braved breakfast and it was good. the day was overcast...again so lucky. haha. we packed up and rested...for reals...no naps. ;) we checked out and headed to cancun airport. I spat my Spanish friendliness and we got exit row seats again! everything about this honeymoon was so perfect and we had so much fun! a perfect first week to start a perfect eternity together!
