| Suddenly we were in Vancouver (on three hours sleep...)! |
 |
| We jumped on the SkyTrain (CanadaLine) |
 |
| Darren let us stash our bags at his workplace while we went exploring! |
 |
| Then we did some shopping! |
 |
| We spent the evening with Tracie and Darren's until they hit the sack. At around 3am, (which equals 3 hours of sleep for me, and not much more for Mike, over two nights) we took a taxi to the airport... |
 |
| Although we didn't have seats together, we both managed to get some shut-eye during the flight. We walked out of the airport into Mexican heat!!! |
 |
| Thank goodness our shuttle to the hotel was air-conditioned! |
 |
| The view from our room! |
 |
| We walked a few blocks to the local Walmart (?) to pick up sunscreen. There is no need for zip-lining or parasailing in Mexico. If you want a true adreniline rush, simply try to cross a busy Mexican intersection, twice... We survived, and I was hopped up for the rest of the trip! |
 |
| We had to wait for the sun to hide behind clouds before we could take a comfortable beach walk. |
 |
| Love it when Mike captures these moments! |
 |
| This is what camera lenses and glasses look like when you first walk out of an air conditioned room and into Mexican heat! |
 |
| The view from the end of our hallway! |
 |
| LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Mexican breakfast on the belcony off of our room! We felt like royalty!!! |
 |
| What a hunk!!! |
 |
| Beautiful! |
 |
| Peace! |
 |
| This was our go-to buffet restaurant! It never let us down! |
 |
| We truly appreciated the sunsets! |
 |
| Enjoying the moment! |
 |
| Enjoying the view! |
 |
| Enjoying my man! |
 |
| We dressed up for a special night out! |
 |
| Enjoying the wait for appies while drinking cervazas! |
 |
| Mike's steak dinner! |
 |
| Our waiter asked if he could take our photo! I think this is his 4th attempt... |
 |
| Then he asked us to kiss for the photo, which caused cheers from other tables! A FUN atmosphere! |
 |
| We would get ready for bed and then an awesome tropical thunderstorm would begin, so we'd go out on our belcony and watch Mother Nature's show!!! They were extraordinary!!! |
 |
| Sunset! |
 |
| The two of us simply enjoying another gorgeous sunset! |
 |
| Another absolutely delicious breakfast delivered to our room as we woke! |
 |
| Lovin' Life! |
 |
| After another buffet meal! |
 |
| Not much can beat ice cream cones on the beach! |
 |
| Another sunset stroll together! |

| Pool-side beers! |
 |
| Exactly where he is meant to be! |
 |
| Palm tree in the wind! |
 |
| Saying so long to our fabulous room and resort! |
 |
| We left during a storm (the first we'd experienced in the day). Our shuttle drove through streams to get us to the airport! The storm was actually pretty intense, but it didn't seem to slow many people down... |
 |
| Luckily, the weather cleared up and the sun came out while we were waiting to board. The flight was smooth! |
 |
| Chillin' at Yaletown... |
 |
| ...while Darren guided his staff through an insane rush! |
 |
| Sippin' Yaletown brew! |
 |
| After a night with Tracie and Darren, we caught a morning ride into town. While they worked, we ate a decent breakie... |
 |
| Then we explored downtown Vancouver. This is us takin' a breather and reading an email. |
 |
| Oooooh, found an Mustang that was almost exactly the same as Mike's... |
 |
| Caught a bit of the gay pride parade... |
 |
| Back at Darren's work, where we ate one of the most delicious appie combos ever! |
 |
| Mike was like a walking Yaletown Brewery advertisement... |
 |
| ...and enjoying every minute of it!!! |
 |
| It's incredible to have a chef cooking dinner for us! |
 |
| This night's meal was one of the most delicious we've ever tasted in our lives! Our taste buds thank you oh so much Darren Watson!!! |
 |
| Darren creates the most heavenly meals for us when we visit! He is truly talented! |
 |
| YUM! |
 |
| Fun in the Sun with Tracie! |
 |
| The two of us loving' life! |
 |
| On the beach in front of the Beach House! Tracie and I spendin' a little girl time together! |
 |
| Darren all ready for street hockey night!!! And he invited Mike along! The boys had a blast! |
 |
| We said our farewells to Tracie & Darren and met Grams at the airport! This is us settling in to the hotel for the evening! |
 |
| Grams and me by the marina! |
 |
| A perfect little beach! |
 |
| Enjoying the views! |
 |
| Another beautiful sunset over water! |
 |
| Our last setting sun before heading home! |
 |
| SkyTrain ride to the airport! Grams is coming with us to Whitehorse!!!!! |
