Vacation In Cancun


Joe and I just got back from Cancun, Mexico!  We stayed at a luxury all-inclusive adult couples only resort right on the water called Sun Palace.  It was expensive but pretty luxurious.  They had cabanas on the beach and four different restaurants.  We spent most of the time just lounging around in our hotel room and on the beach or by the pool.  I was nauseous most of the time so I didn’t want to do much anyway.  The one thing I realized being pregnant is that I have an aversion to meat.  Especially red meat.  It’s very unappealing and makes me feel really sick.  The first night we ate at a Mexican food restaurant and as soon as I started to eat meat I got really sick and had to go back to our room to lie down.  We spent the first day lounging on the beach in a cabana.  Swam in the ocean and then ate at the Thai restaurant they had at the hotel.  It was delicious and the only meal that didn’t make me sick.  There was a hot tub in our room so we made use of that and ordered some room service later that night.  Even the room service was included! 

The second day we went on a private tour to see Chitchen Itza.  It was a hot day and I wasn’t feeling great so it was a little hard to walk around.  The whole area of Chitchen Itza is pretty big.  We didn’t explore the northern most part but we saw everything else.  Then we went swimming at a Cenote but the pool was really deep and I didn’t get a life jacket so I couldn’t really swim for too long.  There were some rock ledges around the Cenote so I was able to rest there.  There were so many fish I was hitting them as I swam through the water.  Then we had a buffet lunch which once again made me feel sick.  Last we went to some ruins that we could climb on before returning to the hotel.  We had dinner at a nice Italian restaurant in the hotel but I wasn’t crazy about the food. 

The last day was another beach lounging day at the cabana.  We had nachos by the infinity pool and hung out.  For dinner we went to the last restaurant which was an outdoor steak place.  The steak was good but the servings were huge and I couldn’t finish much of mine.  They had events every night but this was the only night we ended up going to one.  It was called an Anything Can Happen Party in the lobby bar.  There was music and dancing.  Joe and I decided to play a couple games of chess just for fun.  And that was basically it.
