So, my best friend is kinda having a mid-life crisis, or so she calls it. Long story, DON'T ask. We both want to travel around the world. This is our first trip of many more in the future. This came about because I've been wanting to travel and have no one who really is committed to spending that kinda dough to see the world. LoLa volunteered, thankfully. :o)

| Me and my bestie <3 |
We travelled separately, me from Austin and her from Columbia, SC, and met up at the airport in Cozumel. She was already drunk from her flight being delayed and having to sit in the airport in SC for a couple of hours. Of course, she met a new friend who was also going to Cozumel, so they sat in the airport and drank beer at 8 in the morning!! This is the story of our lives, me having coffee for breakfast and her having beer. She's a regular drinker and I barely am. Sometimes I just don't have the stomach for alcohol, which seemed to be the case during this trip.

We grabbed a taxi to the hotel/resort, and what do you know?! They greet us at the front door with a drink!! I like this place, already!! We get all checked in and immediately go stick our toes in the beautiful blue waters. You just would not believe how clear the water is. It's beautiful down there and neither one of us wanted to come home!
 |
| Drink?? Why yes, please!! |
There are iguanas just chilling EVERYWHERE!! I almost stepped on a few in the early morning when I was half asleep and not paying attention.
