1st Wedding Anniversary - Mexico

written: Sept 2006

When cupid strikes its arrow, no matter where you are, love can find you. It happens for a reason. Our timing was right. The past relationship we had was a learning experience. Together we both face lots of adversity in falling and searching for love. The suffering we had play against was inclined for building a good foundation to our relationship. When we met, Emotinally and spiritually we were both ready. An answered prayer and the search was over. We fell in love, got engaged and at different times got married twice.


Now it’s almost our anniversary but we tend to celebrate it in advance. From the beginning I wanted to be surprised but later changed my mind and asked what’s the setting and where. My hubby chose to have a short vacation in Mexico to feel the carribean sea atmosphere. He booked two different locations, showed it to me and got so excited knowing it.


Thursday on August 31, 2006 departing from San Jose to Dallas, Texas there was no problem. Our connecting flight had and the mechanical problem took us to deplane. We waited for 6hrs at the airport. American Airline gave us a $10 voucher each for dinner and for the inconvenience. The meal didnt pay the lethargy we had to get stocked. It wasn’t enough for such long hours to wait at the airport. The patience was tested and we stood by it. We we’re expecting we could arrive to Cancun in the afternoon but instead at past 10pm we landed. We had an hour at the immigration and had no problem entering the country. The hour waiting was in effect that there were only 4 immigration officers on duty.


Our hotel amenities were wasted for a day. We checked in past 12midnight tired and exhausted. Money spent for the hotel was too bad in our part since we didn’t arrived at the time we should be expecting we could be there. But, having to see the place was luxurious and pretty laid out though worn-out from the long travel, we walked around, took pictures and savored the moment. The place is huge and rated as high class. Subsequently, we rested in our junior suite room and let the night passed by.


The following morning we had a breakfast at Spice Restaurant. Dishes were great not lavished but absolutely tasteful. I had a mouthful of food and made me got full for hours. The service from the waiters and the cook were great. Inside the restaurant, you can see the grounds, swimming pools and the buildings surrounding by. We would like to stay more time just to sit there and relax but we wanted to maximize our time for the day and time we had left. Under the warmth of the sun, we roamed around the resort admiring and not minding how we extremely perspire. Health wise with the lack of sleep and the exhaustion I got the day before, I got sick all of the sudden. The intension to shop at 5th Avenue for the whole afternoon was not attained full time. Though we had walked the street passing by all the fine arts, good arti crafts, mexican clothing, silver jewelry and many other souvenir shops the illness swept me to decide to get back to our hotel which was a walking distance. We took some hours to rest. At our suite we laid there to loosen up and it was magnificent. The view outside and the wonderful architecture inside were splendid.
