Getting to the Mayan Riviera

Well, we finally made it! It was a very long trip but here we are in the Yucatan enjoying the sun and beach.      We left Dakar on the 12th of May and landed in Montreal on the 13th, 2 hours later than planned. Bless my sister and her fiancee for waiting for us! The plane was having problems with it's landing gear before takeoff and so we had to wait for a mechanic. Glad the problem showed up before we took off!

Upon landing in Montreal we had a shopping trip planned that we assumed we would have time to nap before but being late nixed that plan so off we went to the mall. All in all it was a very productive trip. We found all the things we needed for the wedding and then went for dinner. We got in and to bed around midnight putting Ross, Declan and I at 41 hours awake. Slept very well needless to say and then the next day was the bachelor and bachelorette parties.

The boys had planned a BBQ, go-karting and then a night out but due to the rain stayed in to play poker and drink until their dinner reservations. The girls went for a pole dancing class in the afternoon and then out for dinner, a drag queen show and dancing. Everyone had a fantastic time but by 4 am everyone was in their beds!

After that we went to Ottawa to do TONS of running around and see as many friends as possible. Wendy, Darrell and the kids were wonderful hosts and we had a fantastic time. Then back to Ottawa and then finally off the the Mayan Riviera.

We are finally here and are doing as much as possible to enjoy every moment of it!!!
