The story begins one friday night, that night I went to have a dinner with Dani at an expensive restaurant (140 Euros/both!) that we really likes, the rest of the people prefer to eat at home before the Friday Night. When we finish the diner(so drunked!) we went to Soho (to have a drink of course!). Then I have a flash!! Me:"I want to do Skydive and go to Riviera maya on easter" Dani: "Ok!" After that Kim and M Romero tell us that they want to come but they prefered Thailand....
