Cancun Quickie

Cancun beckons to us once or twice a year and we listen! When we go, we go for three or four days so as the title suggests a real vacation quickie!

This time through Apple Vacations, we booked something called the "square deal." Included is flight, hotel, food and drinks, and two way transportation to the airport - the catch? We don't know the name of the hotel we will be staying at until we get to the gate in our hometown airport! There are some guarantees so we weren't THAT worried:

  • they let us know what area the hotel is located
  • the hotel is rated at least five golden apples  - the equivalent of a four star - on the travel agency website
  • there aren't that many hotels with golden apples in specific areas so we can pretty much narrow it down to two or three hotels 


Let me tell you . . . we did not suffer :-)



I give you Iberostar Cancun :-)

We didn't go to Cancun specifically for this concert but what a weekend to choose to go!
 We reserved tickets as soon as we found out Enrique would be there


Outside the "box office" to pick up our tickets.

Getting up close and personal with the dream boat crooner himself 


The whole time I was sitting on the edge of my sit to hear this song. Listening to it live brought me down memory lane major to middle school in Rochester. I snuck listening to it in our computer lab thinking I was such a rebel LOL. 

SING IT!
