Fui uno de los Presidentes del Club de Novell calificador de este año. Tres de nosotros fueron seleccionados de Novell Bangalore. El premio se celebró en función de Cancún, Mexico en una exótica playa.  The resort, Fairmont Mayacoba was one of the finest in this region.

Novell took care of everything for us, including the ticket booking, travel arrangements, airport pickup and drop and a very comfortable stay at the resort.  The program was for 5 days, 12th Feb to 17th.  Krish and ourselves were in the same flight from Bangalore and to Bangalore. 

We reached Cancun by 7:30Pm on first day.  We missed the social event on that evening since it was too late by the time we were allotted room and we got some time to freshen up.   Next day started with breakfast and address by executives.   There was a discussion panel lead by John Dragoon after that.  We did a community project before lunch.  Afternoon was free for us and we explored the resort a little bit.

Saturday was again free after breakfast.  We decided to go around the resort in the morning.  Everybody was planning to go to Playa De Carmen (the nearest town) in the evening for the valentine day dinner.  Krish, Anu and ourselves went to a  restaurant which they claimed as vegetarian (100% Naturale).  There was a sponsored activity on Sunday.  We had chosen to go to Maya ruins and a snorkel trip.  Though the trip was organized well, the place itself was not that exotic. (We have seen much richer culture and beaches in India).   The Award Gala was on Sunday evening and it was arranged in a farm house nearby.  There were a lot of drinks, horse show and other fascinating programs.

Next day, we visited XCaret, one of the echo theme park in Cancun.  You need one full day to cover this entire park.  The cultural show in the evening was really good.  Then, everything was over suddenly.  Its Tuesday, and one more wonderful vacation is coming to and end.  We left Mexico with some wonderful memories.
