As of around noon tomorrow, this will be our digs for a glorious 5 days and 4 nights:
We’ve delivered the puggles to their grandparents’ and I’m trying to ignore the teensy bit of guilt I feel about it by busying myself with my specialty: last-minute packing before a 6:15 a.m. departure:
I’m notorious for excess packing (what red-blooded American girl isn’t, I ask you?), but I had genuinely tried to keep things under control for this trip. After all, the only clothing I really need in Mexico is a few bikinis and a cover-up, right? With that in mind, I limited myself to one small suitcase and a monogrammed tote, an awesome shower gift from our friend Tricia.
Ok, plus my (massive) purse. But whatever. Matt will use another small suitcase and carry on his laptop. It was going to be a squeeze, but I think things would have been fine and dandy had my super fantastic mother-in-law not decided to invite me for a J.Crew shopping spree as my birthday gift last evening. I was powerless to resist picking up the following selections...

This cute tangerine-hued jersey miniskirt:
These kelly green 3-inch shorts:
A fabulously skinny gold belt:
And this mini, except in white with horizontal gold stripes that I guess is not available online. It's sassy:
So much for traveling light…
Other than packing our bags, I’ve left copies of our itinerary and passports with both sets of parents, stored all of our reservations and travel documents in a zipped folder for my carry-on, and stockpiled a complete arsenal of sun and skincare products! Although you’d never guess it by the skin I’m sporting (a truly hideous shade of paste peppered with random bruises), I am R-E-A-D-Y to be on a beach!
Now, I’ve just touched up my manicure using OPI’s ‘Second Honeymoon’ (cute, right?)…
…and I am officially counting down the minutes!
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! I hereby promise to return with as many pictures as my memory card will allow :)

I get to do a J.Crew shopping trip for our 'second honeymoon' too.. and now I'm TOTALLY inspired! HAve fun, take lots of pictures, and enjoy!
Have a wonderful time! For your sake I hope the next five days feel like at least ten.
SO jealous! And don't worry about the puggles-you feel guilty until you hit your destination and then [almost] forget about them. Have a wonderful and romantic second honeymoon!
