For my 40th birthday I was lucky enough to spend 2 weeks in Mexico - 1 week at El Dorado Casitas Royale and 1 week at Excellence Riviera Cancun - and wow what an experience! It was to be my first time to Mexico and I was very excited! We drove down to Gatwick the day before and stayed in an airport hotel the night before the flight. The next morning we got a shuttle transfer to Gatwick where we checked in and relaxed in the No1 Gatwick lounge. This was a great start to the holiday as we had comfy sofas, a complimentary breakfast, and drinks, and we could see all the planes taking off and landing with mounting excitement!

Finally finished work on Thursday afternoon, I've just got 24 hours of freedom now until the big day and that is just as well since I've just found the "To Do" list that Liz has left me!

What have we been up to since I last checked in? Since I booked the honeymoon (which Liz is incidentally still very excited about) there have still been quite a few things to keep us busy…

After a very comfortable flight we arrived into Cancun airport at around 1.30 pm, we were met by Jumbo Tours outside for a swift journey to the Dreams Riviera Cancun where we were greeted with a glass of champagne and a refreshing cold towel. After a prompt check in we decided to have a couple of refreshing drinks at the lobby bar whilst our cases were taken to the room.
