Just a plane ride away

Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

White Plains NY snowAmazing.  On Monday, here is what I found outside the front door of my apartment.  We then had the lovely opportunity to get lost and circle around JFK...the sign said Jet Blue was terminal 4, but apparently that sign wasn't updated (budget cuts?) and it was a trick to get people to waste more time and gas.  (Not sure if you know but JFK is a fairly large airport w/ 9 terminals so not so fun)

 

 

 

 

A few hours later, I get off the plane and land heCancun airportre...what a difference.  I think I like the Cancun airport better.

15 mins later I pass by this. Not bad.

Cancun hilton hotel

here's my hotel and view from the hotel.  Enjoying life much more now.

I'm actually here for work, believe it or not...we have our annual Floor Coveings International convention here in Cancun.  It's a nice spot and they got us a good rate.  But, I'm not sure how they expect us to go to all these classes when we have all this good stuff ourside our window.

By accident, I booked my trip 1 day early so I actually have a vacation dya here which is nice.  And, glad I did since I heard it's supposed to snow and then I would have missed part of the trip and learning.

So why the heck am I blogging now??? Because they are 1 hr behind and it's a resort...so no breakfast until 6:45 (which is 7:45 NY time) and I'm STARVING!

Well, darned if I don't think it's just down right rude for you to be posting these amazing photos  -- LOL!  What a wonderful place to get an education -- force yourself to enjoy some R&R and travel safely.  Oh, yeah, don't worry; that snow and rain and sleet will be right there waiting for you.  Have a great time!!!!!!

Hi Debbie - How brilliant to have a work conference somewhere warm and sunny with gorgeous beaches! Enjoy it lots - I drove Herb to the train this morning and have already managed to encounter rain, freezing rain, snow, and tiny hail. Now it's snowing those very small flakes that you just know can go on for hours. Pretty, but at this point your warm beaches and inviting ocean look so much prettier! Enjoy!

You need to just go up and give a big hug to the people responsible for scheduling a conference in Cancun.... in the winter!

Hi Debbie -- Living in Cleveland, seeing these warm, sunny photos makes me pine to lay on the beach, feel the warm sand and drink a margarita and feel the ocean breezes! :)

I love Jet Blue...just flew yesterday to Florida...I love having the tv to pass the fly time and I love their snacks, LOL.   I won't miss my mountains of snow either.  My daughter and her husband and baby fly out to Cancun today.  Small world.  Enjoy what free time you have soaking up the sun!
