Hola!

Hola amigos y familia!

Sorry for the lag in posts again but this time it was for good reasons. Justin and I are currently in Cancun, Mexico. We decided that we wanted to take a post-Iraq vacation together to get re-acquainted after being apart for almost 8 months this year. We left O in Virginia Beach with her paternal grandparents (who were more than happy to come and spoil her). We left last Thursday and come back tomorrow night. I am sure many of you are wondering why I am blogging when I should be laying out in the sun, shopping or sightseeing. Well...it's pouring outside right now. Can't complain though-it's been hot and sunny most of the trip. We are staying at an all-inclusive resort on the ocean. It is fabulous. The hotel is Riu Palace Las Americas if you want to google it and take a look. It has not disappointed. View is awesome-food and drinks are great-and service is fabulous.
I can't post any pictures right now because the Internet is too slow here. We don't have many anyways since we have been making the most of this trip. Relaxing, getting tons of sleep and sun, and eating as though we have been starving for the last 6 months.
On Saturday, we went to Tulum-which is the ruins of a Mayan ceremonial village on the ocean. It was awesome but muy caliente. Hotter than Hades. Hot as hell-however you want to translate this. Plus there were some Mayan mosquitoes that left some souvenirs on our legs and arms. We will post these pics when we get home.
We also went to Xel-ha. This place is awesome. It is an eco-park with a huge lagoon where you can snorkel, swim with dolphins (if you pay extra) and eat to your hearts content. My kind of place. The snorkeling was fantastic!
That is the only sight-seeing we have done. I decided to shed my nazi tendencies of planning something to do every minute of the day. I have really done what we set out to do which was relax and enjoy the vacation together. We really needed this. And I promise, I have gotten weepy only a handful of times over missing Olivia. I have also only called home twice-Justin has stopped me from calling more. She is in good hands and we need to be a husband and wife again-at least until tomorrow!
Anyways, we will post pics as soon as we get home but don't expect many.

Adios amigos y amigas,
Heather
