Arrival in Mexico – Llegada en México

On Tuesday, June 14 my friend Diane picked me up at my house at 6:30 am to travel to Mexico. That afternoon, four colleagues and I were arriving in Cancun.

El martes 14 de junio mi amigo Diane me buscó en mi casa a las seis y media de la mañana para llevarme al aeropuerto. Esa tarde, cuatro colegas y yo estábamos llegando a Cancún, México.

We did not check any bags and made it through customs quickly. An hour after arriving we were checking into the hotel. Grand Riviera Princess is a beautiful resort.

No fracturamos ninguna maleta y pasamos rápidamente por la aduana, así que una hora después estábamos registrándonos en el hotel. El Grand Riviera Princess es un resorte muy bonito.

My friend Sara pointed out in the lobby that I would soon have been to all of the cities listed here. And by now I have been to them all!

Mi amiga Sara me llamó la atención al hecho que pronto habría estado en todas las ciudades en la columna de relojes en la recepción. ¡Y ya he estado en todas!

Sara and I shared a room, and this was the view from our balcony. Not bad, right?! Can you spot the lizard?

Sara y yo compartimos una habitación y esta era la vista que teníamos del balcón. No está tan mal, ¿verdad? ¿Puedes ver el lagartillo?

We had nothing planned for that evening, so we hit the pool before going to dinner. This was actually the only time that I was in the pool for the rest of the trip.

No teníamos planes el primer día y pasamos por la piscina antes de ir a la cena. Fue la única vez que yo estaba en la piscina en todo el viaje.

We spotted a lot of wildlife around the resort. I loved the lizards.

Vimos muchos animales en el resorte. Me gustaban los lagartos.

This was the first coati that I had ever seen, but it was not the last. There were tons of them living at the resort and all across the peninsula.

Este era el primer coatí que había visto en mi vida, pero no era el último. Había muchos de ellos viviendo en el resorte y por todas partes de la península.

There were also a lot of cats at the resort. I could not resist stopping to pet some.

También había muchos gatos alrededor del hotel. No podía resistir acariciar algunos.

My only complaint was that the resort only had WiFi in the lobby. It was not such a problem for me since I have an international plan that allows me free data and text messaging around the world. Everyone else had to head to the lobby to get in contact with the outside world.

La única queja que yo tenía en el Princess era que sólo había wifi en la recepción. No me afectaba tanto a mí porque mi plan internacional de celular me da el plan de datos gratis y todos los textos que quisiera mandar gratis por todo el mundo también. Las otras tenían que ir a la recepción para ponerse en contacto con el mundo exterior.

I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house.
