Vacation Time!

Like most of the week, we hit the pool at 0900 and there until lunch.  Lunch was here at the hotel and then to the sun deck until about 4.  Showers and then out for dinner. The front desk was chaotic.  Many, many people checking in today.  And then, there were no taxis available.  What?  Well, it turns out that today is the Cancun marathon which shuts down the south-bound lanes.  All traffic must go North and only North.  So we finally talked an airport shuttle into taking us to our restaurant - because he had to go that way anyways.  And that took us over 20 minutes to travel less than 2 miles.  It matters not as we had yet another excellent meal at Puerto Mudero. We ordered the King Crab Leg appetizer, which came with caviar (salmon eggs) and Sandy actually ate them!  It's true.  I can hardly believe it myself, but I witnessed it!

Welcome to December!  We celebrated the first of the last month of 2017 in Cancun! And for those of you playing the "home game" it is T-minus 4 days until Sandy turns the Big 5-0! We hit to pool deck about 9 and stayed until Noon, when we walked next door and ate Philly cheese steak sandwiches for lunch.  Then we hit the sun deck until 3:30 when the clouds and a small bout of rain came in. We read on the balcony, took showers, and then met the kids at The Captain's Cove restaurant across the street.  This is their last night here. They followed us back to our hotel and had Key Lime pie for dessert.  Well, everyone but Alex.  He ate a brownie ala mode.  Then they came up to our room and stole some vanilla.  It seems we bought too much to haul back in our luggage, so they are going to take some back for us to hand out to others. We have one more full day here and then a very early flight out on Sunday. The beach today.  NICE!
