Tequila, Batman & Silk Dresses August 10, 2008
Posted by brandy in Annie Lebowitz is so jealous, adventure, don't hate me for this, friends, happiness, heaven, hello universe? I love you, i love fragment sentences, i wish i was water, it happened this week, it was a dance dance revolution, something I won't forget, travel, what i found when i went looking.trackback
I ate breakfast while watching the tide. I had lazy sleeps under a hut. I got over my life long fear of swimming and swam every night in the ocean while counting stars and satellites. I drank tequila and clapped along to the mariachi band. I walked down broken streets in a silk dress while it rained. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. More than once.
I discovered that girls are their own worst enemy. That too many women will allow judgment to ruin their holiday, insecurity to ruin their night. I burnt my nose so bad I’m convinced people think I have a serious skin disorder. I found that I’m the worlds worst packer and my hair has a mind of it’s own. I learned that the worst words in the world are: suitcase weight restrictions.
I got bumped to first class and discovered how amazing airline food can be when it’s served on china. I realized how much satisfaction I get out of french fries, 4am movies and clean sheets. I found that when you are with the right friend, anything can be fun (even a tour that’s 99.99% composed of engaged or newlywed couples). I discovered that some things are universal- cab drivers are crazy, food makes people happy and everybody loves Batman.
You should have come.
I wish I could have! Sounds like a good time.
I know I should have. Give me just a little more notice next time so I can get the time off work and I’m so there.
Sounds great – I love the way this is written!
are those your actual pictures? because those are beautiful.
as is the way you described the trip!
I love this post. I love the detail and the writing. I wish I could have been there too, it sounds unbelievable
All so very, very true!
Sounds like you had fun
Sounds fantastic. From cold and gloomy Melbourne (Australia) I can honestly say, I am totally jealous and it’s going to get crowded next time you head away on vacation!
Oh! I would have! Except my old “I fit nicely into suitcases” plea wouldn’t have worked since you exceeded your baggage weight!
I wish I could have been there…it sounds like you had an amazing time!
PS-I hate weight restrictions!
Take me with you next time?
kthnx
Sounds like a great getaway. Glad you had such a great time!
I love that Batman sandcastle. Love it!
i wish i could have been there tooooo! great pictures. can’t wait to hear all the dirty deets about it.
ps- you made it back just in time for the hills starting up. just fyi.
That sounds like such an amazing vacation! Love the photos.
Can I call you mean names? Looks amazing!!!
Oh that sounds perfect! I wish I could have been there!
Sounds perfect, even with the nose falling off.
Sounds like bliss!!
Glad you had a great time!
Glad you had such a relaxing time! And ditto about girls being their own worst enemies, so not cool – I’m glad you didn’t fall into that and were able to just bask at the beach!
Sounds fantastic. And really, who wouldn’t love Batman?
love this post and your trip sounded fab. I hope your nose is feeling better, I have discovered that too, that girls are their own worst enemies. My goal is to be as free of insecurities as possible.
Wow, I do wish I’d been there…sounds absolutely fantastic!
Sounds amazing! I’m jealous!
That sounds amazing. You must have had such a glorious time. And that batman pic, is pretty freaking great.
awe. sounds stellar. =)
I love vacations in Mexico – yes even though the border is only 50 miles from my house, I still love it. We’ve taken cruises down the Baja coast and to the Mexican Riviera and we love it every time.
I am so glad you had a great time.
Damn. I am very, VERY jealous. I am totally in for tagging along next time.
Amazing pictures!
Well done.
I always thought one should never pack more that he/she can lift. With a possible exception concerning a woman with boyfriend, the latter being able to deal with more than his share…
Everyone- Thanks for your nice words!!
your invisible pixie- They ARE my pictures. I’m quite happy with how they turned out. I messed around with them on http://www.picnik.com.
Gany- That seems unfair! I get more shoes in the suitcase if I have a man to carry them?!
Aw! Even Batman got to come!
Where were you, exactly? I may be planning a luxury holiday in the future… for real!
dude! how’d you get lucky enough to bumped up to first class?! that’s amazing!

I love Batman. Your vacation sounds wonderful! I’m glad you had fun, you deserve it!
