Two Tickets to Paradise

Two weeks ago I was here:

Riviera Maya Mexico

Sitting on these lounge chairs:

At this resort:

Aventura Spa Palace

With this girl:

Miss Jeree

Despite horrific food, questionable service, and a salon with ONE BLOWDRYER, we had a great time.  The weather was beautiful, the cocktails were flowing, and we had days upon days to just relax.

BFFs

Bathing Beauties

The "Coco Loco Girls"
We had to dance in front of the entire pool area and assist the entertainment staff in making thes tropical cocktails.
Let's just say there was a whole lot of shaking going on and I hope it doesn't end up on You Tube.

Day 2:  Relaxing on the sand. 

Paradise

Funny Story:
These two guys come up to us in the pool and open with:  "Where do you go to school?"
They proceed to tell us they are 19 and 20.
I pull my rock out from the depths of the water and say:  "I'm married with 2 kids."
The stunned children reply:  "We thought you were like 20-21."
Jeree says "Try adding 10 years to that."
Their disbelief was priceless.

I'm a sexy beast, what can I say?

Jeree and I have been friends for half our lives, since we were fifteen, and honestly I don't think we act any differently than we did then.  She was hiding uneaten steak under her mashed potatoes, I was dancing like an ass in the lobby.  You've seen us posing on the rocks and you've seen me with my snorkel.  It was so nice to just be silly and feel like a teenager again.  No worries.  No responsibilities.  Just sand and sun with my very best friend.  Our two tickets to paradise might have been free, but those days in Mexico were priceless.

Love ya Smitty!

PS- More Mexico Memories coming your way tomorrow!

Now That I'm a Celebrity...

Well sort of...

Details here.

But seriously, now that I'm a celebrity, it's only right that I start traveling like one... for free.

Later this month I will be packing my bags, kissing the kids goodbye, telling my husband he's the best guy ever and boarding a plane to Mexico.  FOR FREE

How can this be, you ask?

Let me 'splain.

My best friend (who showers me in gifts...see: here and here) attended the Sparkle Speaks Benefit for Autism at the Brownstone hosted by Jacqueline Laurita of BRAVO's RHONJ and won the grand prize:  an all-inclusive trip for two to Mexico.  Well, guess what SHE'S BRINGING ME!  My parents are babysitting and I am going on a girls trip - the likes of which have not been see since...2006?!  Is that possible?  Was my last girl's trip Miami for my cousin's bachelorette?  If so, I AM WAY OVER DUE!

In any event, its all free, even airfare, and we even have a $750 resort credit for spa services!  Oh.  Baby.

Now for the tough decision:

Do we roll lesbo and stay at this couples only resort in Cancun?

Sun Palace, Cancun

Or do we drive an hour or so out to Riveria Maya and stay here?

Adventura Spa Palace

I know, I know - I'm faced with so many tough decisions.  Sometimes I worry I may crack under the pressure.   Did I mention both are all-inclusive and include airfare?  And spa treatments?  Do you hate me yet?

Hope your best friend wins a trip and takes you!

PS- Seriously though, where should we stay?
