Bucket List #90
January 7, 2012
This is me taking a nap in the sun. I was up the whole night before with food poisoning or some kind of horrible stomach flu. It was absolutely disgusting, but Jackie took good care of me! I couldn't eat anything but crackers and gatorade. So here I am the following day on the beach, refusing to spend a day on holiday in the hotel room when the sun is shining!

Bucket List #6
January 6th - Went snorkelling in Mexico with Edwina and Jackie! We had a nice day trip out to the island and met a beautiful retired couple from the United States. They were so kind and wonderful to talk to (restored some of my hope in online dating - not ready to try again though). The snorkelling was great and I saw many sea creatures I haven't seen outside of an aquarium. Unfortunately we had to stay with "the group" and couldn't venture out on our own. Jackie and I are both strong swimmers so we would get away from the group and the dude would keep shouting out "Amigas!! Amigas!!" calling us back in. I think next time we'll find a more independent tour.

Bucket List #17
Bucket List #17 - Celebrate Edwina's 50th Birthday with her.
I'm going to stick with the positives on this one, because all in all, looking back, it was an incredible day. We started out the day with a nice breakfast and then swimming with the dolphins, which was incredible. When we got back to the resort we had some sun-time and then after some relaxation proceeded to get ready for the evening. We went to a beautiful restaurant overlooking all of Ixtapa, and had a delicious dinner and celebrated the big day with maybe a few too many glasses of champagne. We all wore our white dresses and matching tiaras. There was a musician playing at the restaurant and on a few songs I accompanied him on the piano. We even had the waiters dancing with us. The strangest part was the staff accompanying us to the bathroom. Edwina was the first and came back to report that this guy held her hand to lead her to the bathroom. I was the second up, and he not only held my hand but grabbed my ass and tried to come in with me. EWWW! Well when Jackie got wind of this she had to go check it out and the guy tried to go in and make out with her! It was a beautiful evening and one I will never forget, despite how smashed I was at the end of it!
Bucket List #7
January 4, 2012
Swimming with the dolphins was magnificient! At first I was scared they were going to eat me as I had images of Jaws flashing through my head. But they are the friendliest creatures and so loveable!! At one point they even took me for a ride! :)

Bucket List #1
Bucket List #1 - January 1-8. Went to Mexico with Jackie and we had a great time! We took a ton of pictures, got an abundance of sun, and I don't think I've ever laughed so much in one week in my entire life! It was an unforgettable trip! :) I feel very blessed that I have had not one, but two fabulous trips this year (my first being in Holland). I think I am officially hooked on travelling! :)

100 things to do in 2012
