Back from Vacation

After dealing with school, work, and life (in general),
we needed a REAL vacation.
We hadn't been on vacation in nearly 3 years.

This vacation started at 2:00 AM, when we woke
to be to the airport by 3:00 AM to catch a 5:15 AM flight.

After a VERY brief layover in Phoenix, AZ, we arrived here.

Specifically we arrived here...

We stayed here.

(It was so humid
this is what happened to my camera
when I tried to take an outside photo from our room's balcony!)

These are the bracelets we had to wear
the 6 days/5 nights we were at the hotel...

...so we could have unlimited access to things like this

...and this

...and this

...so we could do this

We didn't just stay at the hotel the whole time.

We did a couple of timeshare presentations and got free cab fare,
as well as free tickets to Rhythm of the Night.
(Think BYU's Living Legends if they only did pre-hispanic Mexico.)

This is where we went to see the show

This is how we got there.

This is the outdoor stage where the show takes place.
(Sorry, no photos of show are allowed.)

We also did this...

...in the rain
(it IS rainy season there right now).
BTW - this is what you look like after you ride in the rain.
Not to mention a little barter-style shopping downtown.
(We passed on this particular item.)

It was EXACTLY what we hoped for and
what we needed.

We are feeling much better now.
