The fun was quickly winding down and it was hard to believe that our vacation was coming to an end. If we just had another few days... :-)
We slept in and slowly meandered down to the beach for walk and hunt for shells that had washed up on the beach. There is nothing quite like the sound of the waves crashing onto the shore or the screeching of a seagull hovering overhead.
As it started to heat up, we made our way to the shaded pool area where relaxed for the remainder of the afternoon. Later that evening, we had dinner at the resort buffet. This was the first time, since we had landed in Mexico, that I saw lettuce or a salad for that matter. It is the little things you miss when you are in a foreign country... drinkable water, salad, ice, etc..

After dinner, we did some night swimming and then made our way back to the chocolate.
The next day was more of the same. Relaxing by the pool and one more trip into the Play Del Carmen for an authentic meal and more shopping (YEAH!!). Rather than take a chance and eat somewhere where the food might not be so good, we ate at the same terrific place that we did the other night. As 4pm rolled around, it was hard not to think about having to wake up in 12 hours to head back to the reality of Kansas. :-) We milled in and out of the local shops looking for more fantastic deals and then caught a taxi back to the resort.

We spent the remainder of the night in the pool and packing for the trip home. We finally ate our kisses and closed our eyes about 1am.
The shuttle picked us up before the crack of dawn and we spent 2+ hours getting to the airport gate. The flight back was uneventful and customs was very little hassle in Texas.

We hope your future trips provide you with as many memories that ours did!
