bye bye bye

tomorrow morning we leave for mexico and i am beyond excited! i will try and update people on our trip while we are there but i am not making any promises since we have a very busy week. maddy and brian's wedding is on wednesday so we will probably have a pretty packed schedule until that is over. we have planned one group trip which will be happening on friday; about 12 of us are going to do a day trip where they take you to snorkle/ swim in a cenote which is like a giant fresh water pool in an underground cave or something... i am not completely sure but it definitely sounds fun and a little freaky.
i am pretty excited since i have never been to an all inclusive resort. i have searched the website and the resort looks fabulous; there are various restaurants, clubs and pools. i am sure that is pretty standard for an all inclusive resort in mexico but since i have never been to one it is all new and exciting for me.  from what i have seen on the website, i am most looking forward to laying out in these weird half submerged lounge chairs that are built into the pool. brian, who has been at the resort, said they are not overly comfortable, but i am determined to find out for myself.
today, all of the girls are going to get their nails done: pedicures and gel manicures. i am sort of nervous since i have never had fake nails. i am not really the kind of person who generally gets fake nails but i think they could be fun for the trip. i figure if i like them i will keep getting them done until my wedding in september and if not, well, i learnt that i don't like fake nails - live and learn. while the gel manicure is kind of making me nervous i am definitely looking forward to the pedicure. maybe i will get a really cute design... i will obviously post pictures.
