My Journey With Health And Fitness – All Good Things Come To An End

Today is our last full day at the condo in Playa del Carmen as tomorrow we spend most of the day traveling (we opted for a cheaper flight so it is not direct to Vancouver). It is 10am here and already we have washed the bed linens and then the towels, did a deep clean of the kitchen and bathrooms and as I type this my husband is giving the floors a good wash. All of this is so that we can go out for the rest of the day knowing we don’t have to do anything but pack tomorrow.

This has been our best trip to date to the condo. I admit, this is also the longest trip we have done down here, 4 weeks, and I get the feeling that going forward the trips will just get longer. One of the things we did this time is try and make this more normalized as if we were at home as opposed to us being on vacation. This time I kept to a much better workout schedule, we only ate out occasionally and we built our social network. I even managed to get some work done while we were here (ok, maybe not as much as I would have liked) and I know going forward my office here is pretty much as equipped as my one at home.

To celebrate our last day here we are going to a public beach. Even this is a change from what we normally do. Usually when we are here we go to the beach but we pay to be at a beach club which are popular here. We have only done that once this trip and we made sure that we are prepared for the public beach. That means we have a sun tent, good folding chairs, a folding table and even some insulated knapsacks for food and beverages. The more we do things like this the more this just feels like home to us. And quite frankly, it is way less expensive than doing the beach club scene.

As our trip comes to an end we thank all of our friends here for looking after us. As we don’t have a vehicle here we rely on the kindness of our friends who check in if they are going shopping or heading into town to see if we need anything want to come with them. We have also had some excellent dinner parties and cut throat games of dominoes. Yes, it is just like being at home.

So we say goodbye to our condo, only 3 months and we’ll be back again to enjoy the sun.
