Vacation Time!

The Star Bar sun deck at night The Christmas decorations at La Isla mall Sandy’s chocolates on her pillow tonight The front of our hotel  Out early for breakfast this morning and then to the Star Bar sun deck until lunch. Back to the sun deck and then to room for showers. However, since we have not had maid service in two days, we were out of towels. I called the front desk and Sandy texted our concierge. We got service! Mind you, we were never mean nor did we complain - how could we? This week is basically free! And we’re on vacation. No need to be upset or cause a stink.  We took a taxi down to La Isla to shop and have dinner. Came back to extra service in our room - turned down bed, chocolates, and fresh water bottles. Kissing up now! Weather is the same old boring 84 degrees with almost full sun all day long. Tough to handle but we shall do our best.  Photos from today.  Looking out over the sun deck toward the ocean.  Damn phone. Can’t move pictures. Can’t ...

 Sandy left early to reserve chairs at the adults-only Star Bar sun deck (where all the shows have been going on). Then we had breakfast, slathered up with sunscreen and laid out there until 4.  We ate ate the Mexican restaurant last night. Again, good food. Then to the lobby bar for drinks.  Wes and Mallory wanted to chat so Grandma video called them and we caught up with them before bed.  Nothing really new here. More of the same coming.  The view from our semi-private pool on the Star Bar deck.  Selfie in the pool.  Dinner date The view of the deck. No, we are not suffering!

The reflection during our outdoor dining tonight The kiddie pool off our balcony  Tonight’s sunset Sandy’s Banana Monkey from our pool chairs this morning   Up for breakfast by 9. Actually found bacon this morning. Did get to see a show from our balcony last night. Interesting.  Sat by the far N pool until lunch. Went next door to the Islander for lunch. Not part of the same computer system, so we had to pay, but it was worth it.  Then went to the Star Bar for the afternoon of sun. That’s where we are heading in the morning.  Dinner tonight was Italian. Ate outside with about 25 million mosquitoes. Not that we’d get any sympathy. Back to the room for Monday Night Football. Colts getting whooped.  Another concert at the Star Bar tonight  

 Mistakes were made. Left my PC charger at home. Will be updating this vacation blog on my phone. Hopefully this explains the brevity.  We left for the airport at 6:45 am, Saturday, 26 Nov. uneventful trip and the airport was desolate. The TSA agent said there was a rush earlier but it was over. Right into Cancun direct and then waited forever for our luggage. No worries. We’re on vacation. Ate a late lunch and to bed early. Slept for 13 hours off and on.  Up at 8 Sunday. Down to the buffet for breakfast. At the pool by 9:30. Hot here. 85F. Spent the day in and out of the pool to stay cool.  We’re at the Royal Uno this trip. Only been open for about six months. Will save our review for later. Rooms are very nice though.  Some photos courtesy of Sandy.
