Isaac's baptism in Winnipeg-May 2008

Marc and I went to Winnipeg for a few days to celebrate Marc's godson, Isaac's baptism. Marc is Isaac's ninong (Phillipino for godfather)...After several mafia-related godfather jokes, Marc held his new godson. We also got to visit with Marc's mom and brother, Danny and also meet Sasha, our new niece. She looked super healthy and beautiful. It was a short visit, but a nice chance to catch up and talk about the wedding. Click here for some more pics.

Mayan Riviera - May 2008

This May, my friend Tanya and I took a trip to the Mayan Riviera, Mexico for a week. I had never tried an all-inclusive resort before, so I was game to give it a go. My sister, a travel agent, helped us find the right spot. We decided on Riu Tequila, one of the "Club" resorts, known for its discotheque. Since Tanya and I love to dance, we thought it would be a good fit. We were impressed with the resort. The food was excellent; the pool was amazing; Tanya enjoyed the tequila shots; I enjoyed the margaritas. We absolutely loved the shows, which were performed every night (Casino show, Horror show, Mexican traditional dance)...we missed out on the Moulin Rouge show.
The weather started out beautifully and then we got some rain later in the week, but all in all, we couldn't complain too much. We made friends with the animators who worked at the hotel, well Tanya did for the most part, I tagged along. We also went on a day trip to Xela, a water amusement park (tubing down a river, snorkelling, etc.)...
muy divertido!
