Cancun Day 7 - Thursday 02 DEC

 Today started as most of the other days.  Sandy met Alex, Lorra and Adam for breakfast at 8:30.  Kathy and I held down the chairs on a cloudy day.  Looks like the rain will be coming soon.  We laid out until about Noon.  We left the beach as the rain moved in and headed for our Covid tests that were slated for 12:30.  It was a nasal swab.  Went quickly. 

We met at the Rotunda bar and ordered lunch, that took a Mexican Minute - about an hour.  We drank in the meantime.  After which, we went to the Luna Bar and had chips and drinks - lots more drinks.  We even got Sandy to take TWO shots of Lemon Drop.  On top of that, she had two "dirty" banana monkeys (think chocolate shakes with bananas and rum).  She said the top of her head was kinda tingly.  Thta's called Being Intoxicated!

We met for Asian Night at the buffet at 7.  Adam and Sandy ordered from the menu.  The rest of us ate sushi and all kinds of Asian cuisine.  And we ate too much.

Back to the room for Thursday night football.  It will be an early bed time as we are worn out.

Here's to better weather tomorrow.

Having drinks in the Rotunda Bar while we wait on lunch.
We have all just finished our Covid tests - which will return as Negative.
This means, sadly, that we have to return home on Saturday.

Drinks at the Luna Grill after lunch.  Yes, it's still raining.
That's why we are drinking.

Sandy taking a double-shot of Lemon Drop!

Not sure any of us can drive.  Good thing it's a short walk back to our rooms.

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
