Cancun - Groundhog Day - Wednesday 4 DEC

So last night, I went to bed at 8 pm.  Sandy racked out at 10.  We got up at 9 am today.  The weather - it be the same.  Zero clouds in the morning.  Hits 80 and some clouds come in to help keep the heat down.  This afternoon, we did sit on the beach.

I finished one book and am half-way thru #2.  Sandy is half-way thru book #1.

We hit the room at 4.  Took showers and then went to La Isla for shopping.  We got more than what we went for, but nothing we couldn't live without!

We did do the wax museum.  It was expensive, like $27 / person.  Some of the figures were well done.  Some totally fake or piss poor renditions.  In the end, we were glad we went thru but do not have to do it again.

We came back to the hotel and ate dinner here.  Wednesday is usually Date Night and for dinner tonight - it was Asian food:  sushi, sweet & sour, noodles, chow mein, etc.  I had a wonderful meal.  Sandy ordered from the menu.

We came back to the room and spent some FaceTime with Hadley in Mulberry, Will in Hilton Head, and of course Mallory in Mulberry too!

Yes we are old.  NO need to party here.  Just sun and relaxation.

Yoda pretty good.  Chewbaca was a POS.  Lame.

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
