First, select an awesome hotel with a gorgeous lobby.
That is one giant flower...
Make sure your room has a kickin' view at night.
Our town
After telling everyone you want to lay out by the "quiet pool" to read a book, completely cave and purchase lounge chairs at the Euro-trash day club and drink your weight in Ambhar tequila. Groove to the sounds of the resident DJ and take in the scene of those around you who are at least 15 years your junior. If you start to feel old, just keep drinking tequila.
Note: it's best to leave your phone, iPad, and/or any type of communication you might have with the outside world in your room. You do not want to be tempted to tweet/text/update your status in this kind of environment.

Basil, lime, cucumber and tequila...my new favorite drink. Mmmm...
Do a little shopping. Accept the free champagne that the lovely clerks offer you. It makes shopping that much more fun.
This bad boy came home with me.
Eat a completely unhealthy dinner. I mean, really. Go all out. Find whatever is on the menu and order the one thing you know your boot camp trainer would just die if they knew you had consumed. In our case, it was bread, cheese, and beer. Take photographic evidence of your tiny rebellion.
One version of carb-loading?
Do a little gambling, of course. Try to find the cheesiest slot machine you can find. As you can see below, we succeeded.
Yup, that's my husband.
Accept all freebies the hotel offers you. After paying $18 a drink at the Euro-trash pool, free wine sounds like a pretty good deal.
Num-num tasty.
And finally, acknowledge the fact that all good things have to come to an end, and drive the ten minutes - though a world away - back to your own residence in this crazy town. Profusely thank your childcare provider for allowing you 48 hours to feel like a normal adult again and placate the natives with giant pink lollipops. All is good in the world again.
The Bear didn't even miss us. And how does my foot keep creeping into these pictures?
