I'm back....
Hello girls. It?s been a little over a week from getting back from the wonderful world of Mexico. We had a great time and now that we are back, I want to go back (at least to another vacation). This might be long, so sorry in advanced.
The wedding went well, although there were some hiccups along the way. I do, however, caution anyone having weddings as a DW, they are more expensive than initially thought and there is a lot of paperwork, but in the end it was beautiful. I ended up recording the ceremony and still ahve to get that to work properly. So no ceremony pics, sorry. http://tinypic.com/a/2l6vc/2
Hope the link works.
If you have seen them already, I have posted only 1/7th of the pictures on FB. I ended up taking over 700 pictures. Some are of the same thing, especially if someone wasn?t smiling and such.
Good points. The site and view was gorgeous. Weather couldn?t be beat, high 90?s every day and went to the high 60?s at night but it was muggy, so there wasn?t much of a temperature change. We did get to see some dolphins, reptiles, whales, jelly fish and huge sting rays which were awesome. We went 4-wheeling in the state park, snorkeling a coral reef, boogie boarding and took a nice scenic boat tour of the coast line. Overall everyone, guests and employees were nice.
Some lowlights about the trip. On Sunday, Groom to be (STB BIL) was sick from who knows what. Found out on Monday that he went out the night before we left for Mexico for his bach party so that explained his absence. On Monday, my BIL got stabbed (poked, stung not sure how it is mentioned) by a small sting ray on the bottom of his foot. Thank goodness he ended up fine. The doctor on site won?t look at him when we got back (we were on an excursion) and the rep for Apple vacations wasn?t helpful at all either. So that didn?t set the tone of trip well. FIL got sick on Monday afternoon and was out for the count for a couple days. Still not sure what he had, but it could have been the flu, heat stroke, or GI problems from eating something he shouldn?t. H and BIL got stung by jelly fish on Wednesday. MIL was sick on the wedding day, which was Thursday. She only made it to the ceremony and spent the rest of the day in her room. Then the last 2 days we had crappy bartender service. It was actually iffy all week, but it was the worst at the end of the week.
Now that I wrote a novel (oops), I should get back to doing something productive at work.
Re: I'm back....
Welcome back! Glad you had a good time, though it sounds like everyone there got sick - how terrible. And I have to admit - I don't get how temps in the high 90s is a good point, haha!

The pictures are so pretty!
HOLY CRAP on the stingray and jellyfish sting and general sickness. That sucks! Would you say it was a good time overall? And did your BIL and SIL have a good experience?
And Panda, 90+ degrees sounds amazing - in fact, anything over freezing sounds amazing! This has been a long, snowy, COLD, winter and it just.won't.end.
