In the last week of Decmeebr, I took the kids to Playa del Carmen in Mexico. A nice holiday trip for them to de-stress, and a reward for the both of them doing so well at school.
A nice flight to Cancun was followed by the longest wait ever to get our luggage. They processed it at a speed of about 1 piece of luggage ever five minutes. Seriously, it was the slowest luggage processing I've ever seen. Took over 2 hours to get our luggage and get out of the terminal.
We got to the resort and checked in a bit later than we had hoped as it was dark when we arrived.
So we had dinner, which was a great Mexican buffet, and they mixed a nice Margarita. We got our rooms in order and went to sleep.
The next day we got up and hit the beach, but before we reached it, we got to check out some wildlife.
Of course there were iguanas.
And there was the cutest rodent known to man, the Agouti:
There were even Agouti babies for more cuteness:
They're cute, and they were all over the place.
The beach was spectacular.
We got a lot of sun, swam, had lunch at the beach, and took it easy the rest of the day.
Kids got a little too much sun, especially Leah. Luckily I had brought aloe along and it was sorely needed.
Heckuva great day.
The next day, we were off to get some culture and see one of the newly proclaimed modern wonders of the world.

Enjoy it while you can, before the cartels take over!
OldNFO, which ones, Drug or Democrats?
OK, somewhat joking.
Other than that looks like you and yours are having fun

Old NFO: Yep interestingly enough Playa del Carmen had local police, Marines, national guard, and Federales including a full-on Federale gun truck cruising the area. Certainly quite a large armed presence in a tourist area.
juvat: I think the answer to that question is both. Yep we indeed had a lot of fun.
