Back from Mexico

This entry is in the style and format of Chartreuse. He inspired me for this entry.

I’m back from Mexico, as of this past Saturday evening. Travelling is a real pain, especially international travel. It took us an hour and a half to get through Immigration, Customs and Security in Houston before we could even begin walking toward our connecting gate – and Houston is not a small airport. They don’t call it George Bush Intercontinental Airport for nothing.

But we arrived safe and sound. Sunday was spent doing laundry, unpacking and watching football, and of course, uploading photos.

I found it very interesting that I work with three Australians (Darren, Duncan, Shai), a Canadian (Jeremy), an Englishman (Jonic), An American living in London (Hsien) and an American living in Texas (Christina) and going to Cancun I would end up meeting and spending time with more Americans. But that was not how it was. The entire week, I found myself hanging out with Brits. I never knew so much about Newcastle United, David Beckham and how the north of England really can’t stand Londoners. It’s quite fascinating.

Truth is this was a much needed vacation. Aside from my honeymoon six years ago, during which we went to Maine and Boston and also during which I was arrested for the first and only time in my life, this was our first vacation. It was more special because it was like a second honeymoon for us after getting back together and being so near divorce last year at this time. And it fell within a month of our six year anniversary. And it was my birthday. The trip was special.

Again, I’d like to thank Qumana for this trip. I have never won any contest in my life. That I won this trip to Mexico was unbelievable.

Besides, if I didn’t go, you would never have heard about Darren poking around my backend! Thank you to ALL the guest bloggers. Some very entertaining stuff and great quality content. I appreciate their hard work while I was gone.

Photos can be seen here.

Glad you’re back, and glad the trip was a successful one. Here’s to many happy years in the future, and many more trips.

And please.

Don’t let Darren near your back end again.

I looked, but you apparently forgot to post the photos of Darren poking around your backend.

Chichen Itza was a lot of fun but only one of the ruins were open to climb. Unfortunately, they closed the temple (pyramid) some time ago due to safety.
