Why Cancun isn't that same without the family.

1. All I did on the plane was read. Boring.
2. I didn't have my dad to speak Spanish to the Best Day guys.
3. My all inclusive wrist band didn't match my nail polish.
4. Since Jake and Mateo weren't there, I spent most of my time at the adult pool.
5. The vendors stuff wasn't as nice without Jane.
6. Without Adam, I had no one to enjoy the movies with in the room.
7. Instead of six diets and two sprites it was just ONE Diet.
8. The cookies weren't as delicious.
9. The pico was too hot!
10. I was alone on Valentine's Day weekend. Uh hello, third wheel!
11. Jenny's wedding was great, wish you all were there.
12. I didn't have a camera.
13. Only rode the bus once.
14. Didn't make it to "The Market."
15. GR Solaris was right next door!
16. We got kicked out of GR Solaris chairs on the beach.
17. After finishing my book in two days I was bored at the pool.
18. The sushi got old after a while.
19. My hair wasn't out of control curly.
20. I was the only one up at 6!

All in all, although I had a good time, you all were VERY missed.
