The World of Angy Wong

I went to Mexico in April with two of my best friends, Grace and Tracy. We had a fabulous time and this was the list we made up of the most memorable moments of that week:

1. “Computer Guy” dancing sexy after Mexican Michael Jackson show on the second night we were there. Grace has the last 5 seconds of it on film.
2. Raoul… specifically, Raoul taking his shirt off.
3. Tracy hitting her head on the headboard hard after she declared, “I’m tired. I’m going back to sleep…BAM!”
4. Tracy not noticing someone took Angela’s chair at Xel-Ha’s breakfast buffet even though the chair was right in front of her and she was supposed to be “watching” our stuff.
5. Tracy thinking the fire alarm was a clock after 2 days of being in our hotel room and saying there was no working clock in the room.
6. Tracy and Grace peeing in the ocean –> Tracy’s first time ever! We were so proud…
7. Tracy taking 4 Mexican “immodiums” within 8 hours of buying them.
8. Angela getting 33 mosquito bites on her leg within arriving for only 2 hours at the resort.
9. Grace confusing the someone else for the tour guide, then followed him and led us and a bunch of several other tourists to the wrong bus.
10. Xel-Ha! Angy and Grace abandoning their tubes and Angy threw-up because of the heat stroke she was getting while sitting uncomfortably on that damn tube.
11. Napping at Hammock Island at Xel-Ha. (refer to picture below)
12. Watching the last Canucks game of the season in Playa del Carm at the Tequila barrel restaurant. Canucks defeated the Avalanche 1-0!
13. Tracy and Grace getting sick for the last half of the trip. We stayed close to the washroom.
14. Tracy’s oozing ankle which turned the pillow orange.
15. Grace’s sunburnt shoulder and Tracy hitting in a lot even though in her defense, she “couldn’t help it.”
16. Tracy sporting 2 pairs of white linen pants which symbolizes that she’ll probably marry a guy with linen pants who owns a yacht.
17. “Ooot-Ooot!” – Mexican host at Sandos Caracol.
18. Aaron’s worrisomeness and leaving a message at the hotel and still wanting to call the Canadian embassy.
19. Tracy ripping off the concession guy at the airport when her sandwich cost 5 dollars but she gave him only 4 and then walked away saying, “4 dollars, okay?”

It was a GREAT trip and I think for myself, the best part (besides all our laughing and gossiping) was when we were in the Brazilian restaurant and we saw several families that obviously travelled to Mexico together. I asked Grace and Tracy if she could see our future families doing that in the future, and they both replied “yes” and it would be fun if our families did something similar. That warmed my heart and made me smile because it reconfirmed for me how deep our friendship really is and that it’s one that will last a lifetime.
