Pocket money
We started giving Julia pocket money. She's looking forward to every Sunday and calls it 'pay day'. She's saving all the money and recently made her first pocket money purchase - Ben 10 drink straw :) She loves it!

Blast from the Past - Viva Mexico, Holiday in Cancun
Back in 2001 we went to Mexico for two weeks. So far it was the best holiday we've had...
Below is our (funny in places) diary from back then :) (it's translated from Polish by Google Translate, the original text can be found here)
01/06/2001
Well, here we are. We are already in Mexico for two days. I had it going to write impressions every day, but can not be, simply you can not - spend too much time as ... But now catching up, I promise!
We were flying Airbus 330, Airtours charter flight - the company from which we have this holiday. The plane was quite big - it had three rows of seats, toilets on the lower deck. In the front seat (or rather under the seat in front of you), everyone had a screen - be able to watch movies, TV, listen to the radio (with headphones we had to pay for...) or - at best - watch the images from cameras mounted on the bottom and front of the plane . For example, you could see the runway as we were taking off from earth, the village, the clouds (it was quite a lot, especially the United Kingdom ...) and no later that it was only the Atlantic. Flight was very long and were a little longer then the boring ... In addition, Adam sat near a very fat and stinky woman - which she moved, we were dying and withered our noses. But somehow we survived ...
When we arrived in Cancun owionelo us is characteristic of heavy tropical air (as it turned out we saw the relative humidity threshold value of 100% round, by the way, it did not know that this is possible) but the sky was overcast ... Do they actually rainy season in August 'checked'...? Hm ... We went bad months ...? According to guide the rainy season starts here in late May and lasts until November - if it's already raining every day ... Apparently already at this point zdrapuje the first layer of skin from his nose ...) The bus took us from the airport, but first we passed what complicated briefing ... The airport is tiny and not at all modern, standard-sized gym (of course no question of the runway), and just flew three aircraft. We stood in line for a good 1.5 hours! I was afraid all the time (and I do not because I just imagine ...?), Adasiowi broke lamination on the passport, just below the photo - it looks as if someone upcycle - but managed to move without pain (who appeared to be from the lamination moisture a little bit stuck :-)). Then we passed to the next hall, where the floors were lying our luggage - we had to walk and look for yourself your ... Good, eh? And at the end of another great by train - for customs clearance. Looked into every suitcase and backpack each - apparently because of the foot ... Hm. It lasted and lasted and lasted and lasted. And finally we got to the hotel (by bus, the Mexican driver who moonlighted a Corona beer, selling passengers). Hotelik tiny, but bialutki superowy. The door opens to us you oddzwierny, luggage carry luggage - and silly, such luxuries ... At the welcome we got drinks (tequila sunrise), they explained everything to us and us in zarówiaste zakuli bracelets (along we do not know whether it correctly in Polish ...), that was known to all that we can use for free and without restrictions. We can not download them (for good luck in all of these bear the Cancun, so it does not looks stupid ...). We went to the room (number 211) and we felt like in a refrigerator - immediately began to shake like jelly. Air ... Immediately I turned, and so everything in the room cold - floors and counter tops are marble, there is almost no furniture, everything - tops, settee (even as a shelf in the closet) - if they are built the same as the wall. All in white and midnight blue, light, telewizorek (sometimes we watch a very interesting educational programs for American "Discovery"), a small balcony overlooking the swimming pools and palm trees przybasenowe. And you know what I saw yesterday? Koliberka. What a wonderful small colorful ptaszenko! But in August surprised! really hard to describe it all around - for example, now we lie to each lezaczkach under palm trees blowing breeze - it is wonderful and the thing is that this lasted forever ... Well, but good. After unpacking, we went for dinner in August, tables apart at the edge lagoon (our hotel is on the lagoon - bay and the sea is just across the road), the waiters are ready to work, Delicious food ...
A village Cancun itself looks like this: narrow strip of land on both sides is water - from one Caribbean sea, this bay on the other hand, a main street (not going to be confused, because the bus or in one or the other way). On the beach he takes us, a special bus with air conditioning and tinted windows (like mafias ...) - some American Ford. It takes us about 10 am and receives from the beach at 3.00 - the beach is a private hotel. The sea is wonderful - although the waves do not give to swim, but you can revel cool, blue and turquoise waters. Water is for a frighteningly salty, and with tweaks in the eye. But it found the way - the sea is the pool with fresh water ... Eh ... And still I can not get to the first night. And what was in the night? Terrible, terrible storm - but really the first time in my life I've seen something like this. Trzaskalo just above us, the lightning brightened the sky so that one can be read - the shock. And so began our stay the storm and rain ... Hm.
The next day, but already he rozpogodzilo and even a lot - the sun shone strongly. We were in a meeting with a representative of a travel agency, who acquainted us with programs, tours - we picked three expeditions: the Chichen-Itz'y - the largest Mayan ruins in the area, the natural aquarium to meet and swim with dolphins (!!!) (it will be fun - probably the first and last time in my life given to us will play with the dolphins, huh?), and Tulum - also remains, plus the "sanctuary of plants and animals" - something like a tropical botanical garden. Troche us the tour costs - but surely only rarely happens in a country so rich in history and the flora and fauna ...
05/06/2001
Again we sit by the pool. We could not go to the beach today, because as we all know we are all included in the price of package holidays and yesterday ... (Anne briefly saying claim his guinea, and with us they can not refuse, it is a little exaggerated ;-) Phew ... And today I rub handles and I have a lot of pic. No nothing. From today cola drinks only :-) Two days ago we were also on the beach - Caribbean sea is simply wonderful - the colors. Only the elephant - but I already think he wrote it, sorry!
We were also already in Chichen-Itz'y - Mayan ruins. Amazing place (you know that in our lagoon are crocodiles - so many that it is hard to pinpoint it, because that goes out, it is only if you are already in the night ... You can easily pinpoint a crab - you walk into the water, and even sometimes within the resort, are funny, but do not get caught). The May of amazing people - very wise ludkowie. The most interesting thing is that nobody knows why they abandoned their city, what with them at all happened, no, and also do not know where they came from. There are rumors that came from Asia. 70% meksykanczyków still has the blood of the Maya - by that are just so small and stocky. And you know the Mayan calendar, which agrees every year with our (really saying is even more accurate), and is based on natural phenomena - ends in 2012? And then probably the end of the world will be preceded by the strange phenomena of nature. Hmm - let's enjoy life so dear! We also saw a pitch in a very interesting game 'knock and knock', where team captain winners cut off his head. I would add that being captain was an honor and we all dreamed to cut off their heads ... Also we went on a very steep pyramid, where people from the area of medicine - I! - Got rid of all the ballast ... ... Was terribly stretched in advance for this spectacular views of the dense jungle. Mayan pyramids were built in a characteristic way - every 52 years nadbudowywano new layer on it, so it was easy to archaeologists determine their age. It is harder to find them for it and then rebuild this pyramid, because it is just simple pile of stones, hidden in dense vegetation jungle. Archaeologists these stones must be fit, which lasts for years. So these undiscovered building is still there a lot. What else? Now, the pyramid, on which we entered, it is only today, on which tourists can climb, and in the near future also will be closed. Why? Wise people enjoyed themselves in graffiti ...
As for the native inhabitants of Mexico, they are really happy people and very, very nice. We do not have a nice as I met the entire nation - just smile from ear to ear, singing itself - great. Sure the sun, which is here all year round doing his. From the windows of the coach also saw these poorer villages - people have only a wooden cottage-a big pomieszczonko where everyone sleeps in hammocks, the rest is in the court, there is no Current Issues of water, electricity, nothing. Chickens and pigs in the yard. Well, and then prosper. Only about what you have to worry about, it would rain (the chief god Mayan god of rain! I wonder if so, how powiniwn be Bozek British ...), because without it they do not grow ... Sure are a lot happier than we are! Hm. (Speak for yourself, I'm happy :-)
Where else we were? On przeplywce canoeing on our lagoon - sailing through to the jungle. Wypatrywalismy crocodiles at the bottom of Anchorages saw starfish, we were looking for shells and bathed in a roadside wild beach. One kobietke (???) something in the water even bitten in the hand, and no nice ate fear, because nobody knew what it was ... All at once came out of the water. Adas so spiekl a rate that is now purple, liquid-filled balloons ... Brrr ... Well, in general we are already burned, the skin comes down to us and we took a few nights polopiryne (as every year - must be burning summer ... It's like a disease!).
We went once also a flea market - gee, what balls! We all scream at us, "Newlyweds!"
And ye have seen how to haggle - you first pull into his shop - and is literally dragged, after chasing the market for such a bunch of Toba, and everybody wants you to show your store - then walk step by step for you, do not give peace to look around, and as I find something (and do not let God just for you so take something just to hand ...) Throw a price three times higher than it should be and you need me zbijać. But the eggs! (Even before I decide not to purchase, he asks you about your price and haggling begins over again ...). It is funny, but until then I already angry. And what corruption is - recently bought stamps. Knew that to Europe costs 6 pesos. Well guy sold us stamps for 6 pesos, but the face value of 3 pesos (a little surprised us in the beginning of August haggling, I wanted to 7 pesos ...)! The police, for example, stops Apparently foreign cars and then what you need to do? Just pay them what they want and generally do not argue, because no one, and so this does nothing. Corruption is horrible (before leaving we read in the guidebooks, lest in case of problems do not contact even with the police, but right from the consulate), but for meksykanczyków is probably a form of survival.
Recently I sat alone in a little overcast morning (handy little break the skin from the sun), because Adam's something widely spread - has diarrhea and fever, probably ate something with the bug, here here is not difficult. Diarrhea most often results in the local water - it is not dirty, but strongly mineralized (even shampoo here is not money.) Apparently this did not drink there - everywhere is a specially treated, but can find a place somewhere, who knows. But no poor.
We are here all this week already, do not want to believe ... Time is running incredibly fast, even when just sitting around the pool. Eh. I really do not know how, after these wonderful two weeks we will come back to reality ... Unless you plan some sort of next escapade in tropical countries ... Dream of a good thing. (You know, the paper stocks they go to Europe for months or even years? This is the Mexican post office - no one nowhere in a hurry - "Man." There is always how someone asked about something, it was the Mexican '5 minutes' - our About half an hour to an hour ... No one, however, do not bother. And we complain about the Polish post office ...)
08/06/2001
We have already been only a few days to go ... Why do holidays always pass quickly ...?!!!!!
The interesting thing - you know, that here is already quite dark at 20.00? And yet it is summer! In Europe, the longest days! But all in all in Cancun after 20 starts nightlife - thousands of screaming teenage Americans who are binge drinkers in the so-called corpse. "Open bar" - you pay at the entrance and then have all the drinks are free. Cancun is said to be from the unknown. And we treat sunburn and not much we can to use already from the sun - Adas has scorched (burned more ...) feet and arms ... It hurts me and do not know what to do. Neither sit or walk, the sun bakes mercilessly. Tomorrow we go to the island, and indeed a small island near, said to be very nicely and calmly. Imagine that Here in the tropics are not looking at the temperature - because it is the same every day, around 29 ° C, (rain, if it has any rain 25 ° C) but for relative humidity. How can we arrived (and probably even now, too) humidity amounted to 100% - very heavy air, like a man suspended in it, then fell to 78% and was already being breathe. Really, everything here differs ...
12/06/2001
Believe it or not, but already we're going home tomorrow, what saddens me przeokropnie. August wants to cry when, after such a wonderful sunny holiday must go back to work, to everyday life, shopping, etc. .. Brrr ... And yet this scary crossing the border (not enough that we want to obtain a visa, you still have my passport - if someone mentioned the picture in it ...) Oh. Surely you know how painful it is a throwback ... Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...
Today we have to take place in our last trip - to the ruins and a botanical garden, but resigned at the last minute - and unfortunately I had got stomach upset, and I felt very bad, especially in the sun - very handy charcoal ... - And the ruins are in samiuskim sunshine. Besides, so we went pieniazków that handy little phrase ... (There is another reason, you see through my stomach moved the swim with the dolphins and our last two trips in August in one day ...)
Yesterday we experienced the wonderful feelings Beloved - swam with delfinkami! Something amazing, like a fairy tale - and not in some swimming pool there, but in the natural law of their habitat. Obviously this is a special holiday, nature reserve, dolphins, separated by a creek in May to life and they are trained. We did various exercises with them, for example drove us by the feet, dragged (no longer on the feet for good luck), jumped on us, etc. But it was great - not to describe - luckily we have the video - with us in the lead role - and pretty pictures - we'll see!
Yet you did not describe how it was on the island - also wonderful! A friend of the hotel was there earlier and gave us some practical tips, such as rent in order to discover himself as a vehicle for journeys without loads of golf clubs, because the island is too big to me to override the Piechotka (total is 7 km long and 800m wide, but the place looks bigger, even a military airport ...). Yes we did. Well, Isla Mujeres - Island of Women - she showed us in all its glory - from the beaches of bialutkim piaseczkiem and palm trees, with sharp cliffs, the ocean that breaks in August, with a typically Mexican buildings (in Cancun, it is not already ...). Wonder. On the island we were able to see the Farm zólwików water (of course, try to keep the species) - live in small pools, and large in the sea, just off the beach. Needless to say, with turtles and dolphins and live in Mexico, so they're a natural environment for them. Melex traveled are having great - slowly, all one could see, get off where you wanted (it looked like Melex actually, but it was supposed internal combustion engine. How are the gas pedal wciskalo August alone the engine is run, how the engine is being held extinguished - a strange machine).
13/06/2001
Recently already sitting at the airport in Cancun, ready for departure, aware that it may be the only such vacation in our lives ... (Though you might like a secret that we have plans to return to this wonderful country on the Pacific coast this time .. ..) Well you can add, were the most wonderful holiday in our lives and we are fully impressions. We have a lot of pictures, even more memories, which recently signed with you We divided. We also have a lot of plans for the future journey.
No. So to you soon ..

Well you can add, were the most wonderful holiday in our lives and we are fully impressions. We have a lot of pictures, even more memories, which recently signed with you We divided. We also have a lot of plans for the future journey.
No. So to you soon ..
