Wow. Short night, like 2.5 hrs but that’s still 2 more hours than my bride. Headed for the airport at 4 am to crystal clear skies under the star-decked canopy of the universe. Traffic was light and the airport not too crowded. Ran into Steve & Glenda Clossin who were on the same flight down here. Seems both families like to take this week as vacation since we meet up quite frequently in the airport. Flight was smooth and we set a standard that can hypothetically be beat but odds are will never: plane parked at the closest gate to immigration. We were the only plane arriving and as we walked up, a second line opened up making us the first in line. From plane to baggage claim was maybe 5 mins. No lines at the restrooms. Sandy’s luggage was second off. And here’s where the improvement can come - my suitcase was second to last off. Walked out to private taxi and were in the van before Sandy could get her flops...
One of us got up at 7 while the female side of this partnership slept until 8:30. We went down to the breakfast buffet because we are going to have a late lunch, because we are having a late dinner at the steak house - reservations at 7 pm and that’s late for us. We stayed on the kiddie pool deck this morning and for the first time this week there was a steady breeze. Thank goodness too as it would have been even hotter to lay out in 86 degree F (30 C) weather. Which, BTW is 80 degrees warmer than home right now!!! We are going to freeze our little backsides off when we return. Any sympathy? Didn’t think so… We called it quits about 4:30 and took showers (plural, much to my dismay). This was so that we could be in the lobby for the Christmas party and the lighting of the tree at 5. We did buy a raffle ticket as the resort was raising money for their kids’ foundation. Prizes included: very expensive bottles of liquor, two...
On this day, 38 years ago, little Kathy D. (Seager) Martin was born. To celebrate we all had drinks today. In fact, we sent her some photos of us enjoying her birthday. Other than that, today was our last full day in Cancun on this trip. We leave for Indy at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. Today was more of the same. At the pool by 8 am. Lunch there on the pool deck. Called it a day at 4 to go take showers. Walked down the street to Puerto Mudero (a local steak house) where we all had, you guessed it, steak for dinner! Awesome meal. Back to the room for more cards. We let the girls get close but in the end, we kept thumping them. Boys final win count = 22. Girls? 2. Not a typo. TWO wins. Started the packing process. Will finish in the morning and then head to the airport for a travel day. Great trip. Relaxing. Awesome weather. Be back in six months. Enjoy the phot...
