I'll be the first to admit it's not a terribly exciting collection. Truly, I did essentially nothing on this trip except lay in the sun with a book during the day and have a beverage or five at night. Still, how about some highlights?
Like the liquor dispensers(!) in my room (which might have been more exciting had it been higher quality liquor or had the mini-fridge been stocked with more suitable mixers for said liquor). Still. Liquor! On tap! I would like a similar setup at both home and work, please.
And how about some towel animals? Word has it that some people on the trip got the very same creature each day, but look how ambitious my housekeeping staff member was! (I probably should have tipped him despite the hotel's instructions not to, eh?)
Please tell me I am not the only one who thinks that last one looks a wee bit vulgar. After much examination and discussion, I think I have finally decided it was supposed to be a lobster, but no one I showed this picture to thought that was obvious on first glance.
And speaking of animals, there were several around our hotel. Namely, lizards, noisy blackbirds, strange unidentified furry rodents, and monkeys. The monkeys probably would have made for the best photo opportunity, right? So of course, I got no pictures of them.
This dude isn't alive, but they were all over the place, too.
I did on occasion leave the compound... Here is some proof of that.
Why would I need to leave the hotel, though, with swim-up bars and banana hammock sitings and weird desserts at my ready disposal?
Oh yeah. And the beach, too. That was the best part, of course.

Do you work with that guy in the speedo? Just curious. :)
I don't know what the dessert is, but I'll take one please. :)
Okay, I know "playa" means beach, but I still keep reading it as Playa Mart, like it's full of men sweet talking the Mexican ladies and tourists.
I want that booze dispenser. And yeah, not a clue what that last towel creation is, but it's definitely dirty.
Stacey--Ha! No. Thank heavens. No.
3Cs--You know, it was actually more than a bit disappointing. It tasted as weird as it looked.
NPW--That did not even occur to me, but I love that it occurred to you.
Dutchess--Thank you. I'm awfully glad it's not just MY warped mind.
NPW and I think alike. I was giggling at the "Playa Mart," too. I mean, COME ON..Tequila and Drugstore? Everything a playa needs to do his playin'!
The towel animals are awesome, but I have no clue what numbers 2 and 4 are supposed to be. Number 4 is definitely dirty, though.
And I have been to Carlos and Charlie's. Oh Lord, have I ever.
Looks like a great trip!
Vulgar towels! I swear they do it on purpose. It happened to us on our honeymoon too. See: http://www.flickr.com/photos/duwaxloolu/3044183277/in/set-72157609505233534/
I like the idea of towel animals, but the only one I really recognized was the elephant. Otherwise...hmmmm? Maybe they just didn't want to fold them correctly?
The only one I recognize is the elephant as well. But the second one looks a little like a monk or a kid in a snowsuit.
Ahh! Towel genitalia!
Is the second one supposed to be a lion?
Tank tops and beaches look sooooo good right now. I'm jealous you got to get some sunshine, even if it was with your coworkers.
ALL of the towel animals look a little vulgar! But the pool and food and beach look soooooooooo inviting!!
Holy crap! THOSE are some sunglasses!
That towel-elephant is definitely worth a tip!
Shouldn't there be a condom dispenser next to the liquor dispenser?
Am I the only who finds towel creatures both fascinating and totally creepy?
