Friday 4.6.2010 day 233 I think we had a little too much sun today.... So we got up early today to make the most of our last day at this resort before we move on to a new resort tomorrow.

We were out there a little longer than the other days and we got a little red but I tan really well so it should look fantastic tomorrow. Although I am feeling a little bad about the lack of site seeing we have done this week I am not too worried as we have a lot planed for the next few weeks. ... read more
