Actually we got home late Monday night, but I was EXHAUSTED and I just puttered around the house yesterday trying to get a few things done. I have so many things on my to-do list (BIG things - most are unrelated to this blog and stamping and all that) that I'm a little frazzled right now so y'all will have to forgive me!
I barely took any pictures on vacation - it was SO humid and hot that the camera was constantly fogging up and it was a pain to try and get a clear picture. That and the fact that I preferred to concentrate on keeping up with applying my sunblock rather than lug my camera around meant very little pics were taken (but I didn't burn!!). I have a few here tho for y'all:
The beach in front of our hotel is where we spent most of our time. It was semi-private so there weren't a lot of people around and we could just hang out and swim.
The villas where we were staying at were SO cool - they're all different and the one we shared with my brother-in-law and his wife was HUGE with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room/dining room/kitchen/patio and even our own laundry - all that and with the sale we got when we booked it was cheaper than any of the hotels we could have stayed at! It also had 2 pools so we swam every day (and sometimes at night too).
There were hibiscus plants EVERYWHERE on the villa grounds along with a bunch of other plants (and palm trees of course!) and everything was blooming - it was so pretty. There were tons of little geckos too which I thought were uber-cute - no one could get very close to them tho as they'd run off in a blink.
We walked through the Atlantis resort while we were there a couple of times - but I didn't get any pics as at both times it was dark out and none would have turned out anyway. While it is a REALLY nice resort (even the bathroom stalls are marble!) I wouldn't stay there as it's so expensive. For all 4 of us JUST to go on the waterslides it would have been $440 US - so needless to say we didn't go for that (obviously if we had stayed there you get full access but the price difference was huge and I'm glad we stayed at the villas - it was so much more fun and the Atlantis was insanely crowded everywhere we went).
Anywho that's my quick update on the trip. I'm finally getting things put away, getting laundry done, photos and whatnot uploaded and HOPEFULLY I'll stamp a bit later on this afternoon as ATS has a new release on Monday and the sneak peeks started TODAY!! Ack!
Talk to y'all later! :o)
