Cancun: Casa Maya

We stayed at Casa Maya for the second half of our trip. We absolutely loved this place! It was more of a "family environment" so we loved hanging around the resort. Our favorite thing to do there was play sand volleyball, I have never gotten into volleyball but now I am thinking I should! I loved it!! Another thing we loved was our big room, we had a half kitchen which was so nice because we were able to eat breakfast and most of our lunches there.

 We had this crazy night where everything seemed to go wrong. I was feeling extra emotional and missing our boys a lot so we decided to skype before we went out. We couldn't get a good connection so we went out by the pool to try again. We got a good connection, but started losing battery power so while I was on skype with them I started walking quickly inside ...well I forgot that there were stairs and ran right into those hard cement suckers. My computer went flying and I tripped and fell to the floor. We had a nice little audience of old people that came rushing over because they were so concerned. I felt so stupid so I just laid on the floor sobbing and laughing at the same time. Then to make things even more intense than it needed to be, security came running out and got a chair for me to sit in and put my leg up. They treated my toe like I was going to get it amputated, for a second there I thought that might be the case! Luckily all it needed was some intense cleaning and a bandage.

Once I became mobile and emotionally stable, we went out for the night. For some reason we did a lot of walking which wasn't fun since I was seriously wobbling. (I think all the work they did on my toe got to my head) Anyways, we decided to eat at Hard Rock Cafe and split a meal like we usually do. Well, the waitress did not like the fact that we were splitting a meal and she let us know it! Besides rolling her eyes and being short with us because of our questions, when we asked for water she brought out two bottled waters that cost more than soda. Danny told her we just wanted water in a cup and I thought she was going to kick us out of that place! Seriously! Finally we got our dinner and it seemed like no one spit in it so we ate it. When we were getting close to leaving Danny started looking for his flip flops (he took them off and put his feet up on the bench during the meal) but he couldn't find them. Then he found one but only one. After searching for a few minutes with no luck, we came to the conclusion that someone stole his flip flop. Why would someone just steal one flip flop? Oh wait ... our waitress. We just KNEW it was her, especially since how she was treating us and at one point I saw her pointing to our table and laughing while she talked with her co-workers. I was annoyed, but I also thought it was kind of funny. Danny was not happy! At one point, the manager walked by and Danny talked with him and flat out blamed everything on the waitress. A few minutes went by and then we saw six workers singing and walking over to our table. They had a tequila shot on fire and a gift bag for us. They were pretty bummed when we told them we didn't drink, but we were really happy when we found his other flip flop in the bag. I could not stop laughing!! It really was so funny!

So it wasn't the waitress that stole it, it was the hostess that Danny had been joking around with when we first walked in. She thought she was hilarious, I thought it was pretty clever. I hope I explained it well enough because it really was so funny! We couldn't stop laughing about it after we left.

There are so many other random and fun stories I could tell. This was such a fun trip! I feel like we haven't really been able to relax since everything happened with Gabe last year. This was just what we needed, a relaxing week by the beach. Whether its a vacation, weekend getaway, or a date night, there is nothing better than spending quality time with your best friend.

...I am just really glad that we were able to do a vacation this time.
