Hubby won a vacation at work!
We have known for a while that he was supposed to get the trip, but the boss kept putting off planning it. This weekend the plans were finally made and finalized. We will be going in May! Woo hoo! Billy just found out today that they booked us an all inclusive trip. Even better! 
This is my first real trip to in Mexico (been to Baja, but those were day trips) I can't wait!!!   
We never had a honeymoon because we were in the process of buying our house when we got married. So we will finally have a Honeymoon! |

Now to make arrangements for the dogs and kids.... |

I am soooo excited. This is my first vacation in Mexico. I have always wanted to go to Cancun. My parents had gone quite a few times when I was little and I was jealous looking at the pictures, I always begged for them to take me with them. So I finally get to go myself. I plan on sleeping in and spending the days poolside with an exotic drink in hand. zahra wrote: Are you packing yet?
Not just yet.... But I will be going to get my passport.  |
WOWZA have a fantastic time, no Kids, no dogs Hmmmm maybe no. 3 on the way?  (just Joking )
Just wonderful and what a great vacation it will be for you both. |
| That sounds fantastic! I'm so happy to hear he won! |
|
| Congratulations |
| That's fantastic! You deserve it!
Just be careful about what you drink. |
| Recommendations while in Cancun;
Cozumel; great ferry ride to the island. Some of the finest diving reefs. Xcaret; LOVE  snorkling the underground river. It's a hoot even if you have never snorkled.
Tulum Mayan Ruins; breath taking location, amazing history Xel-Ha; beautiful eco-park. |
| That great!
If you're flying to/from Mexico, I believe that you're going to be needing passports for everyone... |
| Congrats to Billy on the trip. How fun!
I hope it is as wonderful as it sounds |
| Wonderful!! I'm sure you two will have a wonderful time. Congratulations. |
| 8) Elissa I am so happy for you and Billy! You will have a great time! |
| WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations |
| That's Terrific, Elissa. I hope you have a wonderful time. |
| Oh!!!! Elissa! That is fabulous! I'm so excited for you! May is a great time. After tourist season, but still very super duper! Congrats! |
Wow! Congratulations!!  What a GREAT time you'll have! |
| How fun! What did he have to sell? |
| Terrific news! you guys will have a blast. All-inclusives in Cancun are fun. I second Xcaret, it's a day trip from the Cancun hotels and snorkling in the underground river is great! |
| Yey for you Elissa....take it from me, if someone wants to exchange your free trip for kitchen cabinets....DONT do it!
Honestly, have a great time!! |
| Thanks guys!
Ron, not to worry Billy and I are both getting our Passports. Devra and Sue thanks for the suggestions on what to see! ButtersStotch wrote: How fun! What did he have to sell?
Billy had to sell repipes and reroutes (of water lines in the home). His company is a Leak Detection company, that mostly does insurance claims work. I believe he had to hit a certain amount of dollars in sales during a certain time period. Darcy... LMAO |
| Elissa, that's awesome. You definitely deserve a break. I am VERY jealous and you better sip a drink or two for me |
| Congratulations E!!!! That's so wonderful, have a great time, and tell us all about it (well ahem, the g rated parts anyhow hee hee!) when you get back. I've heard may is a great time to go! Mike wants to go there for our next vacation... I've never been! |
Even infants need passports  |
| I think I read the kids are staying home??? |

Dude, what's up with you and passports?
I don't think it's a bad thing for infants to have passports... Elissa, how many forum members are you allowed to take with you on your trip? |

| Wow! Awesome! |
| Great for you and hubby! Hope we get pictures. Do they have OES in Mexico? Just in case you have withdrawl! |
| Wow Elissa - was the trip only for two or can the rest of us tag along?
Enjoy the time away. |
| Oh couldn't happen to a nicer person! Congrats on the win and hopefully you'll allow us to live vicariously through your experiences. Make sure you take lots of pics!!
Marianne and the boys |
| It will be 18 here tonight!! Hope you have a wonderful time!! You deserve it. But I have to admit I am envious!!! |
| Thanks Everyone!
I wish Billy's company could pay for everyone to come. But just getting them to book Billy's trip was like pulling teeth. Even though he had surpassed the dollar amount to win. He had to keep harrassing them. 
I promise I will take lots of pictures! Just finished filing out our passport applications. Now we need to get the pictures and turn them in. Then we wait....until May.
I did find out the vacation is for 7 days. I thought it was only 5 days. I will definitely be relaxed when we come home. |
| If you are a member, go to AAA and get the pics. They either do it for free or three dollars. If you get them done at the Post Office, it's 15 BUCKS!!!! |
| Thanks Mandy,
I knew AAA did passport pictures and being a member, I figured it had to be cheaper there. I'll definitely be going there for the pictures! Thanks again for the info. |
| Well it was cheaper than the post office. $8 versus $15.
The picture didn't turn out too bad either. |
