Club Med

Day 1

I'd never even been on a plane before so this was a pretty big day for me! We landed at the Cancun airport at 3:30pm and were greeted by a man with a big "Club Med" sign who drove us to the resort. As we entered the gates and traveled along the incredibly long driveway towards the main hotel, I truly felt like I was in paradise. Palm trees, beautiful flowers, turquoise blue waters and even some iguanas (!) all greeted us and I knew that I was very, very far way away from the frozen tundra of Minnesota!

After being offered a welcome "cocktail" we were shown to our room by a cute French guy named Didier. (At Club Med, 20-somethings from all around the world come to live and work at the hotel. These "workers" are called "G.O.s" which is an abbreviation of a French phrase, Gentil Organizateur – meaning "gracious host – which is what they are!)
