Day Last - 15 Dec

Well, since Someone couldn't sleep, She thought it would be a wonderful idea to hit the Tradewinds restaurant for a buffet breakfast at 7:00 am. Yeah!

Finished packing and hit the sun deck for our last few hours of sun.

Checked out and will look for a taxi to get us to the airport at 11.

We have enjoyed our week and are having difficulties grasping that Christmas is only 10 days away. Doesn't seem right with 80 degrees, the beach and sun. Not sure we'll have snow to help us get back into the mood, but it's back to our routine come Monday.

Sandy finished two books and didn't get sun poisoning until Friday. I missed the over on books and the under on the sun rash.

I started one book but caught two movies. It was difficult to read on this iPad in the sun. If I'm not sleeping on the plane, I might get through my book. Odds are in favor of sleep.

We don't have much for tv down here, but we did get a few reports of the mass shooting in CT. Sad and uncalled for. No answers to be found. We can't legislate out mental illness. That won't stop some liberals from blaming the guns (Piers Morgan comes to mind). Guns kill people just the same as pencils cause misspelling and forks cause obesity. Those who use guns to commit crimes are criminals. Those who use guns legally are safe from tyranny. 'Nuff said.






Until next time Cancun, see you in our dreams...

Cancun Day 2 - Sunday DEC 1

Image
Most of us slept 12 hours, but one of us (Lorra) got up at 4:30 and went down to reserve our chairs.  Folks straggled in, but we were all sunbathing by 10 am.  We took our own drinks down to the pool since the swim-up bar does not open until 11.  You can bet the house on the fact that we were there waiting at 10:55 am for our second round of drinks. We ate lunch at the pool-side restaurant and then some of us went for a swim in the ocean.  It was rough today.  Not sure when I will get the sand out of my ears!  We relaxed in the pool or by the side of the pool until about 4 when the sun went down behind the hotel.  We are in Cancun proper, staying at the Royal Sands.   On this trip are Kathy & Alex (Alex’s parents are at the house handling the grandkids), Hailey Wilson and fiancé Harrison Magee, and Lorra & Adam Archibald (Joe is at the house).  We have Nick and all the grandkids watching our house and feeding the pets while we are gon...

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. ...

Cancun Day 7 - Fri DEC 6

Image
It was a day like any other day… up and at the pool by 9.  Lunch at the pool restaurant at Noon.  Lots of photos.  Celebrated with shots at 4.  Showers and then dinner at 6 down at the buffet, which was not a buffet tonight but they did have an awesome dessert table - where most folks had more than just a single dessert.  Back to the rooms to pack and clean up.  The other six are leaving in the morning.  We retired folks?  We are staying an additional two days so that we do not have to fly out on a Saturday with the rest of the world - and also because we can stay longer since, as aforementioned, we are retired! Sunrise over the beach this morning.  How beautiful is this???

We had fun with this photo - We told Hailie that we were going to blur her out of this picture since she was Out ...
