After a wonderful, perfect, beyond our expectations wedding we are now sitting in our room in Playa Mujeres, Mexico (just north of Cancun). Today started early around 3:00am... After an outrageous fee to get to the airport from Woodbury ($70!) we hopped on a plane to Chicago. We had to sit on our plane in Chicago for an hour on the runway due to bad weather, but we finally got into the sky. We arrived about an hour late but customs went really fast! We arrived at our BEAUTIFUL resort around 2:15pm. It is even better than we expected!! They greeted us at the door with cold, wet towels :) then we were given a short tour of the place and then went to our private excellence club check in area. They had mimosas for us, coconut shrimp, portabella mushroom things, and other little finger food while we waited.
Once we checked in we walked across to our hotel room - we are on the 3rd floor and our room overlooks the ocean! It is so beautiful! There is a little sash on our door that says "HONEYMOON" - so cool! There was chilled champagne in the room when we walked in along with beautiful towel swans with rose petals and a rose on our large king size bed. We have full bottles of jose cuervo, jim beam, dry gin, and smirnofff on our shelves and a fridge stocked with pop and beer and snacks - they refill every day! There is also a list of activities every day and they have a turndown service. We had room service deliver homemade pizza and we had that as a late lunch.
After napping on our outside bed thing on the porch we showered and went to dinner at SPICE. It is an Asian resturant and you can order anything on the menu! Never have to pay anything! We had sushi, pot stickers, egg rolls, an asian salad and I had a really good steak noodle thing and john had a good shrimp squid thing. Then of course we ordered desert - banana fritters - SOO SOOO good!!! We just got back from checking out the place and walking on the beach. It is already really dark here. When we go out it hardly seems like there are other people here! It feels like we have it to ourselves and everybody is SUPER nice here! We set up specialty breakfast to be served to us on our terrace tomorrow morning - it comes with mimosas! Crazy! Now john and I are tired and going to watch the bachelorette then go to bed :)

The alcohol already in the room - shoot! John and I are going to have to become drinkers - there is no way we are going to use all of this!
