A Preppy Empty Nester Getaway

 Last weekend, the Mister and I snuck off for a little getaway in Mexico.  For once in our lives, we had perfect timing.  North Texas was experiencing bitter temps, and I couldn't get out of town soon enough.

Our driver picked us up on time.  You could set a clock by this guy. The Mister is our company's Director of Logistics. We arrived according to the Mister's schedule, three hours before flight time.

The next stop was the airline lounge, where the Mister likes to make himself comfortable and catch up on his zzz's. He looks like an angel when he sleeps, doesn't he?

 I would say 99.9% of the people traveling last week were sick.

I felt like a target of a whack-a-mole game.  Every thirty seconds, someone would sneeze, cough, or blow their nose. The Mister and I would douse ourselves with hand sanitizer and proceed to guess the culprit.  Covid? RSV? Flu? Bird Flu? Common Cold?  And then we attempt to calm our fears and say in unison it's probably allergies.

It looked like our customary sombrero wasn't the only thing we would be bringing home as a souvenir.

Every time we would hear a sneeze from a fellow cabinmate, we popped one of these.  I think it worked because we are six days out, and we have yet to detect a sniffle.

We also added some protective wear, which I don't recommend unless you want to spend an extra hour with some shady characters claiming to be with the TSA.

Before we knew it, we were back in Paradise, otherwise known as Las Ventanas al Paraiso, in Los Cabos, Mexico, for our second visit.

Viva la Mexico!!

The Mister booked us in the residences. It worked out well because the hotel was very crowded with weddings and bachelorette weekends.

We had lots of room, and the unit had a full kitchen, which we never used but was nice to have.

We were greeted every day with fresh tarts.

I know there is a joke in there somewhere.

We had two patios in case the Mister and I didn't see eye to eye. 

The best part was that the residences had very few occupants.  It was very quiet, and we had this pool to ourselves. 
 It was pure heaven.

Btw... I took my new travel makeup mirror with me, and it worked out perfectly.  It gave me so much more light than the one that came with the unit.

The first night there were fireworks.  I'm assuming that they were celebrating Preppy Empty Nester in the building. I haven't heard otherwise.

Here I am at our own personal pool that came with a full staff. The last time I wore this coverup, I got a lot of inquiries.  It is from Rock Flower Paper which is my go-to site for everything from gift bags to coverups.

This is another one supplied by RFP. 

We dined at all of the restaurants, and the food was very good and the ambiance even better.

The jaws of life surgically removed us from our chaise lounges so we could venture out to Flora Farms, which is a farm-to-table restaurant.  I'm wearing another favorite of mine from Rock Paper Flower.

 

The food was great!

Adios Las Ventanas al Paraiso!.  

There was a minor mixup with the Mexican government, but that's a story for another day.

Great news!
