Oops, I forgot our passports. We had a fabulous vacation, but it started a one day late. We were planning to fly out early Saturday morning and arrive in Acapulco the same day. We got up at 4:45 a.m. to catch our flight. We took the train to the airport and arrived with plenty of time. We were checking in and that is the moment I realized that I forgot our passports! How could I be so stupid?? I am usually so organized and think of everything. Unfortunately we didn't have time to rush home to get them before our flight left. We were able to get booked on a later flight to Phoenix on Saturday and would fly to Acapulco the next day. The low point was when we had to take the train home and then walk from the train station in the freezing cold with our luggage. At least we were able to get to Phoenix and spent time with Ryan's family. His mom was also town visiting. We were able to get a last minute hotel near the airport. "It could be worse." (We said that a lot.) The next day our flight to Acapulco was delayed by two hours. "It could be worse." We finally made it to sunny Acapulco on Sunday evening. And it was definitely worth the wait. The resort was breathtaking! Lucky for Ryan we happened to be there the same week as the Mexican Open tennis tournament and it was in walking distance of our hotel. I spent two nights at the tennis tournament and Ryan went one night without me. We had perfect weather, sunny and high 80's everyday. We did lots of relaxing in the sun, reading, and long walks on the beach. Ryan had a blast riding waves on a boogie board. Our resort was 20 minutes away from downtown Acapulco. One day we took a city tour and saw all the tourist attractions, including the famous cliff divers. We took a cab into town for dinner and a movie one night. (We saw "Valentine's Day" and I loved it!) We were definitely not ready to leave paradise. At the airport on our way home we saw Sam Querry and John Isner (American tennis players). Now Ryan wants to go to Acapulco every year, but next time I won't forget our passports.
