January (in review)

Went to Cancun for work.  Love traveling out of the country.  It is a great opportunity to change perspective.  Nothing is exactly as you expect it to be, like it usually is in your own country or community. 

I was traveling this time for "Work".  Oh, how I suffer for my job - LOL.  It was my firm's annual meeting, so there were many LONG meetings, but the intervening times were spent with a cocktail on the beach.  Oh, and apparently January is a rainy month.  Very Rainy.  With sunny patches.  And cocktails. 

 

I was debating on whether or not to include this trip in my challenge for a couple of reasons that don't seem like a big deal now, so in it goes.  Work paid for the airfare, and most of the lodging, and I used points for one night at a nice hotel in Cancun.  I attended meetings, networked with coworkers and muckety mucks. 

 

Most of the time I stayed at the Moon Palace resort - I had fun using my minimal Spanish skills, and loved listening to the ocean.  Warm breezes and the sound of waves crashing on the beach have to be my favorite things about Cancun.  The only thing I really bought was a small woven change purse to hold my pesos.  I'm planning on going back to do some diving eventually.
