Cancun - Thursday 03 DEC

Got up at 8.  It was overcast and rained most of the day.  We shopped.  Kathy & Alex took an early flight home.  More details on that later.  They are home now.

We ate lunch at Johnny Rockets at La Isla.  We had the prime rib dinner here at the hotel.  We played cards - Euchre - men v women.  It was 3:1.  

Sandy was going down to buy some art.  She asked me to give her some cash - as they only took cash.  Now, don't go thinking that this woman needs me to give her cash.  She does not.  It just so happened that I had my wallet on me from shopping and her purse was in the safe.  Under no circumstances did she need me to provide her authorization or the cash.  Just so you know.

But, since it was really windy today, as she went to put on her mask, the wind took the cash and blew $40 over the building.  Boom.  Gone.  We laughed and hoped that some kid found the cash just so it would make his/her day.  Anyway, I've done dumber things, wasting more than $40.  

Just to be certain that the cash was really gone, Adam and I took a walk down 8 flights of stairs and searched the grass behind our hotel.  We found $20.  Believe that?  With all the wind?  Oh well, guess we only lost $20.  Hilarious.

The pool at night with full moon.  Those circle areas?  
Those are the swim-up bars!

In bed by 10:30 pm.  Cannot get Thursday night's NFL game down here, so some college BB games are on.  Guess I'll read for a bit.

One more night and then we head N to cooler temps.  Can't wait!

    One ever so important correction to the blog. The euchre did end 3:1 but let's make it WELL known it was the WOMEN who won 3. You're welcome, dear.😂

    As sole creator and editor of this blog, your heinous remarks will have to be deleted. Not because they are inaccurate, but because they hurt my one feeling. Besides, how many times did we tell you - we let you win just so that you would continue to play. As If...

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
