Spring Break Cancun

While I was in St.Maarten, I got a text from my younger brother Matthew asking if I wanted to get away for his Spring Break from University. His vacation plans had fallen through and he needed a vacation buddy. I'm always game for a last minute adventure so two days after I returned from St.Maarten, I was back on a plane to Cancun.

Yes, Cancun. For Spring Break. At thirty eight years old.

Surprisingly I fared well for an old gal. Matt and I made friends with some fellow travelers and had some fun dinners and beach time. We also hit up some clubs, did the Senor Frogs and Coco Bongo thing and did a snorkeling excursion to nearby Isla Majeures. We stayed at the Grand Oasis Palm - which was a nice place with the exception of the rooms. No hotel room should have a bedspread. Yuck. It stayed in the closet. But the food, service and pools were really nice. The beach kinda sucked. But all-in-all. it was a lovely time and we got one hell of a deal on the trip. And...most importantly...it wasn't snowing there!
