Holidays 2012

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holidays! I have been busy spending time with my family hence the lack of posts. I had an amazing time eating, visiting relatives, and resting after the long long hours from work. I finally had free time to relax. 

Wishing you all a very happy and safe New Year!! 

Cheers!

2012 Review

Now that it's December and work is overloading. I can barely find time to compose a proper blog post due to overwhelming amount of work load and very very long hours. I am exhausted by the time I come home from work but it's ok because the year is almost over and I can hopefully plan a trip for winter! Crossing my fingers on this one so until it happens I won't talk about it.

2012 was a great year. I was feeling much healthier and I went to South America finally! 

-The year started in Cartagena, Colombia. I explored the Old Town, ate empanada's, visited a mud volcano, and shopped for too many pairs of shoes.

-Went to Boston for a weekend in April. It was cold.

-Spent the long weekend with my best friends in Montreal. We partied, ate too much deli, and explored the Botanical Garden.

-Labour day long weekend was spent in Prince Edward County. I went wine tasting, exploring the Taste Trail, and tanning at Sandbanks Provincial Park.

-For Thanksgiving, my mother and I spent 8 days in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.  We tanned, climbed a ruin, visited a mayan village, and I played bocci.

I hope 2013 will be filled with more adventures!!

I found my sport

I was lounging around the beach one morning when I was encouraged by one of the Animation Crew at the resort to play bocci. I have heard about it but I thought it was a game for old people (sorry!) so I was a little hesitant to join in but Oscar convinced me to give it a try. 

I was partnered with another fellow guest and we had a great time playing. It became a mix of young and older people. It got very competitive but it was really really fun. I couldn't believe I was enjoying myself. I came back every morning at the beach and played with my new friends. Now, I have to practice in the snow for my next beach vacation.
