Blogosphere friends, I need some help. I need your advice.
Summer is just around the corner – even though it is already hot enough for summer here – which means I get my one week of holidays in July. Firstly I thought the whole deal with being a teacher was getting the rumored long summer holidays. I feel ripped off. Anyway since I love the beach we have decided to go to a beach for a few days and it is here where I have a dilemma. I have two options and I cannot decide.
Option 1: Take the family to the Riviera Maya just because it has some absolutely beautiful beaches and cenotes, ruins and other great stuff and my partner – who is Mexican – has never been! However this would mean forking out almost 2 months pay. Yes. 2 MONTHS. We really do get paid peanuts here in Mexico, they just say that they are pesos.

Option 2: Hop on down to Veracruz on the Gulf Coast, which I love by the way, but is in my backyard and it would be so much fun to go somewhere a bit further for my last holiday before Christmas. On the plus side it will be so much cheaper than the Riviera Maya. I seriously need to win the lottery one of these days if I want to keep working in Mexico.

So dear friends and readers, help me out here. What should I do? Stay with the known close to home or pay up for something a little more exotic?
Go mad, pretend to be ill, have an extra week off work, rob a bank or sell a kidney, and do both…:-)
If I ruled the world, work would be a short pause between holidays…
You should rule the world. Please do and grant us more holidays. There are just so many places to visit here and with only one week… maybe I will just pull a sickie and go for a bit longer!
I shall post my application immediately…In the meantime pull the sickie…..when my omnipotence is confirmed I will erase the records with a lightning bolt….
