Cancun Mexico (Day 1) - Sun Palace

This was a Thanksgiving trip as well. But this year we go beyond US, we flew to Mexico. Sounds cool right? I was so excited about this trip and prepared everything in advanced. I didn't need to worry about my Visa because Im a PR here. However, Xu needs to get his i20 signed even thou he holds the international student visa (Tourists with US visa do not need a Mexico visa). I20 proves that he is still s student in the US.

We booked our air ticket and hotel together as usual. It will be cheaper to take this package instead of buying the air ticket separately. So this time, Expedia.com had a better deal than Priceline.com, we chose a very special hotel, guess what? It is a 'Only Couple' hotel and with All-Inclusive package. This is also the first time I heard about All-Inclusive hotel. All inclusive means that all the food we eat in the hotel is free, even alcohol!
 Upon checked-in, a flower was given from a bell man to welcome us. Also, we were being served a cup of drink as refreshment. Such a warm welcome to the guests! Very impressing. However, we reached an hour early prior to the check-in time, so we were allowed to use the hotel facilities while waiting for our room.
We had this wristband on so that the staff know that we were involve in All-Inclusive package. 

This was the first sea view I saw in Cancun! The sea was so 'big', really, no words can describe this amazing view. Look at the color layers, dark blue-blue-green-light green..Immediately fell in love with this Carribean Sea. 

 Fruits and wide varieties of dessert. I totally recommend to take all-inclusive package, we can eat anytime without worrying our budget! Really worth the price! Of course, you need to book the ticket in advanced.


 Ta-da, this is our lovely room! Yes! There was a bathtub in our room, next to the bed, double jetted somemore (couple bathtub).


This was really cool! Love it so much. Xu promised to build one in our future home. Hehe
 Free whole bottle of red wine in room.
And the GSA had complimentary upgraded our Deluxe room to Junior Suite Room with Ocean view. Lucky us! So excited on the first day and can't wait to explore the hotel. 



Free top up anything anytime!
First time see a hotel provide straighten hair tong in room. Very convenient to the ladies.

Order our first room service. 24-hour room service!
Pool-side dinner. I look so meaty. LOL

Salmon and white wine. So worth it right? One big salmon for free! hahaha. I know I already paid for everything but I still love to use the word 'free'.
Two meaty human. Haha

Las Vegas Day 4 - Eiffel & Jubilee

 On Day 4, we had no plans.
Just walked to Caesar Palace for photo session.
The movie 'Hangover' was filmed in this hotel~

 Does this fountain look like the one in Italy?
The wishing well that 陈慧珊and吴镇宇always appeared in 从上云霄.
Lol
By the way, I love my top from Banana Republic.
 Hello
Are you Caesar?

 Oh, this is George.
^.^''
 My dream place.
Another place in my wish-to-go list.

 Then, we went to Metropolitan Hotel for Buffet Lunch.
 This hotel was so pretty with pink chandeliers.
 Shine bright like a diamond.
 Wish my room could be this Princess Theme.

 I believed having a cocktail in this bar at night will be super romantic!
 Casino
 So we had queued for an hour for this buffet.
Not only we were crazy but the queue never stop!
Undeniable, the quality of the food was there.
Salmon, scallop, shrimp..
Looks good and taste good too!
 Egg Benedict in Buffet lunch? 
No way, this was the first buffet restaurant I saw Egg Benedict.
 The decorations/presentations were impressed,
not only regular plates but tiny pot, pan and frying pan.

 Other than Egg Benedict, I had never seen Macaroons in Buffet too.
Omg blog til here, I miss the dessert!!
Worth it.
For the time wait.
 After the heavy lunch, we took a walked around Paris Hotel.
Do you believe I'm in France when you see this picture?
Not only they imitate and built an Eifel Tower but
L'arc de Triumph as well. 
 Whoops..tummy.
Who cares, I wanted the background!
Love these European architecture. 


 Outside Paris Hotel.
 Inside Paris Hotel.
Can you see the legs of the Eiffel?


 Those windows are cute.
I seriously prefer these kind of design than the modern one.
 The W.C
During this time, my friends in Taylors were in France for their Degree Program.
So I was actually with them too!
(=
But I was in the US Paris. hehe

 At night, we watch 'Adult Show' in Jubilee Theatre which was located in Bally's Hotel.
 The price of the seats depends,
the nearer you sit, the larger amount you have to pay.
 This show only welcomed 18 years and above, lucky Xu.
There were around 100 dancers in this performance.
Some of them were topless depending on each different scenes and stories.
Too bad we were not allowed to capture but this is a good thing too.
If everyone revealed the details of the show in the internet,
then no one will feel surprise for the show.
Xu, Me, Jiera, Julie.
