Well my friends, it’s almost here—only three more wake-up days until we depart for Cancun. I thought it would never come.

And yet, as the vacation I’ve waited so long for fast approaches, I’m still wary of articles like this (especially since my family keeps sending them to me). Sure, there’s a bit of a drug mess happening in Mexico right now, so Chris and I promise to keep our eyes and ears open while we’re there. Plus, in my own defense, the craziest thing I plan to do in Cancun involves a book, a drink, and a chair by the side of the pool. And I thoroughly look forward to it.

Bis bald, friends! I may or may not get to write again before I leave, but if I don’t, expect plenty of updates when we return next week.
