Gian had said from the beginning that he wanted our honeymoon to be relaxing, something we don't get much time for back at home. When our honeymoon was booked we received a $200 spa credit, so we decided to use that yesterday- and we skipped our trip to Chichen Itza.
We had a couples massage here at the hotels spa and it was amazinggggg. The ladies did a great job.
The day for the most part was really rainy so we just chilled around the hotel. We slept in, had our massage, then relaxed in the indoor pool.
Today we had a very action packed day- we went on our tour to Isla Mujeres. We were a little bummed that the dolphin tour was booked, but we were pleasantly surprised to find out we could still sign up for the snorkle tour. We boarded our bus, then headed to the pier to board our catamaran. It was more of a party cruise and it was soooo much fun.
Gian and I got a little sea sick heading towards the island, but once there we hopped onto the smaller boat and went off to our snorkle tour. They drove us out a bit farther and then it was time to hop into the water.
We saw so many cool fish, starfish, groupers, snappers, and these tiny little white and yellow fish that were in a school surrounding me!!!! We bought an underwater camera and I can't wait to develop the pictures and see how they all came out.
It did start raining which sucked, and it rained pretty bad for a while- so we headed back to the Palace resort on the island, had lunch, took a nap, then re-boarded the ship to go shopping.
We hit up the downtown area of Isla Mujeres and bought some suvenirs. It was cute, but we were a bit rushed.
After that we went back aboard our ship and had a PARTY back to cancun. The crew on the ship were KA-RAY-ZEE!!! They were shooting tequila, passing out a ton of beer, and playing a bunch of music.
We had a ton of fun, even some old guys were shooting tequila! haha.
Its our last night at the hotel, so we've taken the night a little easy. We went to see the caribbean show the hotel had on tonight, Gian got to see a lot of butts since the girls were very scantily dressed, lol. But it was a good show.
We're headed to bed now, on our last night here. The resorts been great but we're excited to get back home and start our married life together. :) yep, our MARRIED life. :)
Hasta Luego Cancun!

Welcome To The Married Life...
Hi Everyone!!
This is our first post. We thought it would be a good idea to document each day or so as newlyweds. We're on our honeymoon at the moment, and wanted to be sure we didn't forget anything...
So here's our way of writing down our memories and also sharing them with our families, friends, and the giant world that is the internet. :)
A brief re-cap:
October 18th-
Giancarlo & Vanessa exchanged vows.
We became Mr. & Mrs. Sanyer. Our wedding was beautiful!!!! Perfect, unforgettable. We had an amazing time!!!!!
Here's a quick picture:
I cannot thank everyone enough for coming, helping out, and making our day memorable.
Thanks for sharing with us in our special day.
October 19th- we arrive in CANCUN, MEXICO!!!!
Gian's wonderful parents giffted us our honeymoon at the Sun Palace in Cancun.
The resort is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! The hotel staff is AMAZING and it's simply PERFECT for our honeymoon.
October 20th- we decided to stay in and explore Mexico on our own.
We went all the way to downtown Cancun via the public bus and shopped around at Market 28- it's sort of like a giant flea market.
We took the bus back to the 'touristy' area of Cancun. They've got a Rainforest Cafe, a Hardrock Cafe, CocoBongos, Dady O's, Pat O'Brians, Bubba Gumps, and Senor Frogs. Lots of stuff to see, lots of things to do. We had a blast with it just being the two of us, walking randomly down the streets of Cancun.
October 21st- we took our first tour this day. We went to the Mayan ruins known as Ek' Balam. Ek' Balam was only discovered about 11 years ago- and has just finished undergoing it's renovations. The archeologists have made the city look just like it did in the old days. It was amazingggg to see what the Mayans were able to build and create with such limited technology. We climbed to the top of the Acropolis (the biggest building there) and admired the view. It was fascinating.
Our tour guide also took us through old Mayan Villages where people actually live. Gian and I bought a hammock for our new home, and a few other souvenirs. We learned about the Mayan gods and their love for 'turtles'. (inside joke, lol)
Here's a picture of us at the Acropolis at Ek' Balam:
WELL...Mr. Sanyer has fallen asleep at my side, we'll be back later to post more :)
toodles!
