If anyone is looking for vacation suggestions, Playa del Carmen in Mexico was pretty incredible! The hotel we stayed at was beautiful with tons of pools, a great beach, and an all-inclusive setup (all food, drinks, and entertainment was free). If you haven’t tried an all-inclusive resort yet, I strongly recommend giving it a shot. You may never try anything else!
Having gone to Mexico once before, we didn’t feel the need to go on too many excursions. We did go into downtown Playa del Carmen to walk the strip and see the sights. That was an adventure! To be honest the resort had a lot going on with activities, dinners, and shows to keep entertained at all times!
Here’s a few photos:
A few fun observations:
- Iguanas run around like squirrels down there! They’re everywhere.
- I’ve never seen so many copies of “Fifty Shades of Grey” or the other two books in the series. I think every girl on the plane and sitting by the pool had thier nose burried in that book.
- When did girls start getting full body and sleeve tattoos? Don’t get me wrong – a few well-done tattoos on a girl can be very sexy. But I did notice quite a few girls with full sleeves or murals running down their legs. Maybe that’s just what’s cool now …

Sounds like a good trip! I’ve never gone on an all inclusive trip, but I definitely want to.

I’m not a huge fan of tattoos on anyone, especially sleeves. I just hope they still like them when they get older because from what I’ve heard tattoos do not age well.

Looks like you had a great time! Since you’re making other observations, do you also wonder how they keep the floors of the hotel rooms in beach resorts so spotless of sand? I don’t have a beach in my backyard and can’t keep my floors that perfect. It makes me crazy!
Have a great weekend!

Looks so beautiful/fun! I’m not huge into the tattoo thing, but it’s like a whole subculture.

I love all inclusives. The place you stayed in looks so nice. And no, am not a fan of tattoos.
