On the way there I think we took the smallest plane Continental owned, the Continental Express. I was so scared. I had to tell myself that big planes are harder to fly than small, and I've done this before.
On arrival we were so excited! We stayed at the Camino Real, which was beautiful! http://www.caminoreal.com/acapulco/ . We also got a room upgrade because we were with the wedding party! Yay! After that we immediately hit the pool and started drinking. You know when you are excited, you get drunk really easy, well this happened to Sebastian. I think he was a little more excited than everyone else, because he barely made it to dinner he was so sick. It’s kind of funny looking back now.
For dinner we went to a crappy restaurant that is lady on the trip insisted on going to. It was called Paradise or something like that. Don’t go here. The food sucked! The only thing that was kind of cool was the bungee jumping while we ate dinner. The cab driver that we rented for the trip, Pablo, mentioned that we go to Su Casa. We ended up going there the next night and the food was awesome, drinks were good, and service was even better! It is on a cliff and you can see all of Acapulco.
The next couple of days we shopped, rode horses, and snorkeled quite a bit. Sebastian is an avid diver and since he didn’t get to drive this trip, we snorkeled. We actually saw some cool looking fish. I saw a spotted eagle ray, and swam the other way. Even though they are not poisonous, all I could think about was Steve Erwin, bless his soul. We also saw a spotted puffer fish. He was black with white polka dots all over, and another puffer fish with spikes all over. The coolest fish though was this ity bity yellow fish, he was probably the size of a quarter, he swam with Sebastian the whole time while snorkeling. It was so cool, when we swam, at one point he would lead the way and swim upfront by Sebastian’s goggles. It was sad when we got out of the water and back on the boat, you could still see the little fishy at the top of the water wondering where his friend went.
When we got back on the boat, I wasn’t feeling so good. We started to go further out into the ocean to snorkel in another area where the waves were really choppy. I told Sebastian that I wasn’t feeling good and he kept telling me to focus on a house on land. I focused on Rafael Nadals house. I kept thinking of how if my mom new he had a house here, she would want to burn it down because she is in love with Roger Federer. Needless to say that didn’t work and next thing you know my breakfast was in the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn’t pretty. I didn’t get to go in the water second time around, so I just took a nap on the boat.
The wedding was on a Saturday at 5’oclock. The scenery was beautiful of course, but it was hot as hell! The minister’s wife actually got a little overheated. I just have one thing to say about Mexican weddings…they can PARTY! The wedding started at 5pm and lasted till 3am! That’s 10 hours! We could only hang till 1:30 am…I’m starting to feel old.
The next day was our last one there. We woke up early enough to eat breakfast and head to the airport. Back to Houston!!
