Tales From Cancun Continued...

Buenos Dias, mio compadres!  (I think I'm turning Espanole.  I think I'm turning Espanole.  I really think so!)

Last week, I mentioned that hubby and I had arrived to Cancun for our 30th Wedding Anniversary.  We were met by a driver who transported us to our new shangrila and provided me with a beautiful pink Lily (see on the table in picture).

Did I forget to mention that the LeBlanc resort was all-inclusive?  Aye-chi-wa-wa!  The food was delicious!  Rotisserie.  Flambe.  Assorted fruits and desserts galore.  Freshly squeezed orange juice.  Hot tea, whenever I wanted it.  A refrigerator filled with soda pop and various candy.  A bar loaded with Whisky, Tequila, and Rum.  (Why is the Rum always gone?  It's at LeBlanc.  Pirate!)


As luck would have it, we were there for 8 days!!!  Yes, there were plenty of days for fun in the sun!  And when hubby got slightly sick (well, more than slightly) there was a light at the end of the tunnel. It came just in time for our Anniversary which we celebrated on the beach with a romantic dinner. 

Surf and Turf, dear ones!  Champagne.  Our own serenade by an excellent clarinet player, who played The Carpenters Close to You.

Ah, so beautiful and unexpected.  Imagine it.  The peaceful surf cutting against the sand.  The melody of a love song wafting upon the ocean breeze.  Can you feel the love?  Can you imagine you are there?   Can you see how the infinity pool appears to go on forever?

LeBlanc Resort in Cancun is a great place for lovers to celebrate their lives together, whether that be weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and so forth.  It is also a couples only resort, quiet, reflective and filled with interesting people.  (Yes, I did some people watching while I was there.  Writer!)

And now I ask you.  If you were at LeBlanc with your loved one, which song would you want to be serenaded with?

Tales from Cancun

LTC and I celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary last week by going to the LeBlanc Resort in Cancun, Mexico. We had a fantastic time, even though hubby got pretty sick at the beginning of the week.  (It also rained those two days too.) 

To start off our fantastic experience, we were met at the airport by a chauffeur, who produced a Lily for me and offered us drinks for our drive to the resort.  He pre-checked us in to our hotel during the drive and had a Strawberry Daiquiri waiting for me and a Coconut Milk (LeBlanc's speciality) for hubby when we arrived at the hotel.

After checking into our room and getting settled, we went down to the International Restaurant to eat lunch, since we hadn't had anything to eat since 4 a.m.  The International Restaurant cooks up anything on the grill and offers a wide variety of food, from deli to fruit to buffet and dessert.  (Oh, the desserts were to die for, folks!)



Here's the view looking straight out from our room.  You can see the lower half of Cancun farther down the shoreline.  Very picturesque!  Out the window, to the left, is all ocean view.

 And to the right, the Lagoon, where we saw an Alligator about 9 feet long!  (I have pictures and will post them next week!)

LeBlanc is a fabulous resort for couples only, usually couples celebrating a wedding, anniversary, birthday or some such event.  There were couples of all types there and I even got to chat with a really nice woman from Pennsylvania.  (We discussed the resort and the man being rescued from a potentially dangerous undertow past the sand bar!)

Alligators?  Undertow?  Water rescue?  Yes and more!  At one time, we were in the elevator with the General Manager who offered to get us anything we needed.  (We decided not to mention Montezuma.  Pirate!)

Oh, and have I mentioned the cabana boys and the happy smiles as wonderful servers delivered your heart's desire... Ahem... Strawberry Daiquiris filled with rum, please.  ;)  (Got to shout out to my newest buds, Ana, Sara, and Laura.  Also, our butler/concierge Alex and Luis.  And I couldn't forget Alan "Alan Jackson".  Yes, he did say it just like that too.  And then there were Jesus and Jesus, Armando, Angil, and Jose, so gracious to fulfill our every need.)

Did I mention there were chocolate covered strawberries involved?  And yes, the Happy 30th Anniversary sign is made of chocolate and tasted oh, so good!

I'll leave your mouth watering.  (Pirate!)

More tales to come next week.  Same time.  Same blog.

Do you have any Anniversary or celebration memories to share?
