Just checking in...

Are you wondering why I'm blogging while on vacation?  Well...We purchased the internet for a day because I wanted to book tickets to Chichen Itza.  Too bad, I didn't look at the days of the week.  Turns out I booked the tickets for tomorrow instead of today.  We realized this when we were waiting for the bus to come.  I checked the time and date, and saw the date was the 30, and not the 31st.  We're leaving tomorrow, so there goes the tickets.  =/  On the website, it's Monday-Saturday.  I'm used to Sunday-Saturday, and we were in a rush when we bought them....Yea, I'm kinda bummed.    If you book tickets, make sure you have the correct date. 

Other than that, we're having a great time in Cancun so far.  Saturday, we went to Xplor.  Yep!  I ziplined.  Holy cow, I was scared!  I went tandem with Doug once, and it was just waaaay to fast.  I rode with Jenny instead.  There were 7 ziplines in one route.  I was scared, but shut my eyes.  That made things a lot better.  =)  Going through that many lines, I sorta got over the fear towards the end.  The part I liked best was the last zipline into the water.  =)  We didn't buy any photos from Xplor.  The prices were just too much, but here's a photo of our friends on one of the ziplines.  (I think it's them)

Hanh & Paul
Here's our other friends in the amphibious vehicles.  This went through dirt and water.  Little bumps here and there.  Fun to drive on a track, but nothing like real off roading.

Norman & Diana
Overall, we had a lot of fun as a group.  =)

I had a slight eye infection from Saturday.  Sunday I woke up and my left eye swelled up so bad.  I iced it most of the morning.  The wedding was at 5PM, so I had plenty of time to make it look better.  The ceremony was really beautiful.  They said their own vows.  Too sweet.  =)  Aww...weddings... Oh one funny thing!  When they did the bouquet toss, all the single ladies had to go catch it.  One other girl who just got engaged and I were the only ones who DIDN'T qualify for the bouquet toss!  I sure feel OLD!  haha

We leave tomorrow.  I think today, we're going to the market and renting a private boat to ride around the lagoon.  I definitely didn't get tan like I thought I would during this trip.  I'm okay with that.  =P
