Eyes closed, toes in sand, book in my lap, listening to the ocean sounds and seagulls… there have to be seagulls! I’ve always pictured it this way, my perfect vacation; I would spend days on the beach just reading and sipping on those colourful drinks. As I discovered, there are no seagulls in Mexico, but pelicans. I changed my mind, my perfect vacation requires pelicans. They are so much better than seagulls, for one they don’t steal your food. They also go diving for fish at sunrise and sunset and the rest of the day they ‘chill’ on the straw roof tops. I definitely heart pelicans… and mojitos, no overly sweet colourful drinks for me. My week long getaway was the first time I set foot on the ‘warmer’ parts of the world, and was it ever glorious! I probably made all my friends jealous talking none stop about the sun, sand, and 26C water. I’ll cut my ‘OMG it was the best, fantastic, most amazing, fabulous, tan-erific vacation EVER” talk, because who wants to listen to “sugar-high” kid who just got back from the candy store. Instead I’ll start with the photos of the resort. Grand Sunset Princess Resort – all taken at night on long exposures.
Main area of the resort. Food, entertainment, and reception are here.

Not going to lie, I was very excited to find this tumbleweed in the middle of Arizona!
