My Employees Champions Trip 2023

We had a crazy morning of actually getting to MEXICO but we made it!  We woke up Wednesday morning at 4:30am to our first flight already cancelled out of Wilmington, therefore we would have missed our 9:30am connection in Charlotte. American Airlines rebooked us for FRIDAY. We decided to get in Jake's Jeep and drive to Charlotte. Our group was rebooked for a 1:30 flight out of Charlotte. We got on the earlier flight at 11:30 to Cancun with the other half of our group. 
The trip was May 17-23 to Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya, the all inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We went to the same resort that we have been to in 2017, 2018, 2019, and were supposed to go to in 2020. It was really fun being back! A few new options have been added at the resort but otherwise it was the same amazing experience.
