Day 2 Morning

Crashed last night at 7 pm local. Got 12 - 13 hours of much needed rest.

Hit the sun deck around 9 local as most spots are "reserved" (towels on seats) but not many people around. Looks like we're gonna have to get out earlier if we want our pick of spots to soak up rays.

Shelby ate her left-over ribs from Capt's Cove for breakfast and washed them down with Mt. Dew. She said this was a first for her, but were not bad. That is, she was not complaining.

No major plans for the day. Mostly sunny but a strong breeze.

Going to buy some boogie boards for the surf. Lots o fun ahead.

I had to get a pass code for the WiFi, so that's why I did not post last night. I'm live now and even have access in our room.

Got an email from Dave Porrill. If you see a weird name in the comment section of this blog, that'll probably be Dave.

It's good to be us right now!

    Good pictures! Glad everyone got in safe. By the way, Nick is supposed to get a hold of Heath J in regards to track. If he needs his email address, let me know. I think he has some quick questions for the upcoming season.

Cancun Day 2 - Sunday, March 10

Image
 Will and Alex joined me and Grandma Sandy for breakfast.  The fruit smoothies were the biggest hit.  The rest of the crew slept in and joined us at the pool later.  Those grandkids are little fish.  We had to force them to take breaks.  They would still be there if we let them! We had lunch by the pool and then made the kids relax for about an hour before hitting the kiddie pool - with slides.  We hit the beach, swam in the ocean a bit and then built sand castles.  We returned to the pool for the entire afternoon. We ate dinner as a group of 12 at the buffet here in the resort.  Hadley fell asleep at the table and Will just barely made it through his ice cream before they all headed off to bed.  They were out by 7:30 pm.  The grandkids were exhausted but having a great time down here. It was hot today, 90 F with little to no breeze at all.  There was a heat index warning as the humidity was up, making it feel a lot hotter.  No complaints though as the pool feels great! Our littlest gu

Retirement Party Cancun 2024 - Day 1

Image
 Sandy and I are both now officially retired as I hung it up Saturday, 09 MAR - which happened to coincide with us traveling to Cancun for a party with the family.  It was a real short night though as we started our drive to Indy at 3:30am.  The airport was busy, but not packed.  We waited in line to check-in but breezed thru Security.  We were delayed leaving the tarmac but only arrived in Mexico 20 mins behind our original arrival time. It seems that we got lucky as flights were getting delayed or canceled all around us.  Upon arrival in Mexico, we never even stopped in line thru Immigration as there were that many agents open and no one there checking in.  It was awesome.  Luggage took a while as you could imagine, but we made it onto the bus at 11:30.  The drive to Playa del Carmen took about an hour, then check in, then walk down to lunch.  It was 1:30 pm before we were getting food. And even though the kids were tired (and bored, and hungry) there was no keeping them out of the p

Cancun Day 3 - Monday March 11

Image
 We got a text that Will was “starving” at 7:55.  We understood - well, we laughed first.  He slept for 11 hours and it was time to eat.  We agreed to meet for breakfast at 8:15.  Alex, Will, Mallory, and Shelby met me and grandma at the buffet.  What about everyone else?  Kathy and Hadley showed up at the pool about 10.  Nick and Wes sometime around 11.  And we did not see Andy and Austin until after lunch.  And that’s exactly how vacations are supposed to work.  Sleep when you’re tired, eat when you’re hungry, and do it all over again for a week! So today, when the kids decided to build sand castles on the beach, we walked to the other side of the resort - where we found, yes sand, but also fewer rocks and tree stumps in the water.  All but the youngest grandchild went into the ocean again.  Then we collectively built Hadrian’s Wall to protect the castle  before erecting the towers.  This took long enough on all fours that we could feel the sun working too much on our backs.  We call
