SB20 - Day 5 - WED 18 MAR


Sandy is sending best wishes to Nick & Shelby as she enjoys
her Banana Monkey on the sun deck!


We awoke this morning to no power - as predicted.  Know what?  It's still paradise, power or not.  We headed to the sun deck about 10, we figure.  Stayed there until Noon.  Back to the room to eat snacks for lunch.  Then back to the sun deck.  Stayed there until 4.

We heard the radio at the pool bar and then saw mixed drinks start flowing at 2:49 so power was back on.  That did not affect the drinking.  I continued with Cap't Morgan and Coke while Sandy had Sprites. 

We (both - pay attention) hit the ocean.  Sandy only to her knees, but still In The Ocean.  Then to the pool where we may have had some more adult beverages.

Back to the room for showers.  We have a 5:30 reservation for Hacienda Sisal tonight.  It's still part of the all-inclusive, you just have to reserve your spot.

I had the lamb and Sandy ate fajitas.  Then we took a cab to La Isla to do some shopping for the grandbabies and those wishing to have vanilla.



Really, we'll come clean.  We are not in Cancun.  The photos are all faked - like the moon landing.  We are actually in quarantine in a black ops site somewhere south of Lake Titicaca (probably the Peruvian mountains).  I trust this message gets out.  Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money...
(that's Warren Zevon for those of you playing the home game).  It's still good to be us.

Maybe this is Sandy having dinner on the deck of Hacienda Sisal.
Maybe she's drinking a Sprite.
Maybe it's all PhotoShopped...

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
