Cancun Day ??? - Weds Apr 30

 Lost count of the days.  And I am late posting as no one sent me any pictures to post.  We’re still alive and well.  Wednesday was pretty close to a repeat of previous days…

Up and at the pool deck before 0900.  Lunch at pool restaurant.  Called it early as the women had signed up for a wine-tasting, pizza-eating, art class that was to start at 3 pm.  Except our concierge told them the wrong time.  It actually started at 4 pm.  Ate dinner at the Bistro here in the resort instead of having the buffet.  Boys had steak and lobster with a few rum & cokes.  Back to the room for more Bid Euchre.  Boys won them all.  I think the total score is now 14-1 in favor of the Good Guys!  I texted Unger to tell him it was because “That’s what winners do!  Win!”

I did wear my Father’s Day shirt from Kathy that reads “Awesome Like My Daughter.”  I was stopped thrice and one guy even wanted to know if he could buy one here to wear when his daughter arrives Sunday.  

More of the same on Thursday…

Cancun Day 2 - Sunday DEC 1

Image
Most of us slept 12 hours, but one of us (Lorra) got up at 4:30 and went down to reserve our chairs.  Folks straggled in, but we were all sunbathing by 10 am.  We took our own drinks down to the pool since the swim-up bar does not open until 11.  You can bet the house on the fact that we were there waiting at 10:55 am for our second round of drinks. We ate lunch at the pool-side restaurant and then some of us went for a swim in the ocean.  It was rough today.  Not sure when I will get the sand out of my ears!  We relaxed in the pool or by the side of the pool until about 4 when the sun went down behind the hotel.  We are in Cancun proper, staying at the Royal Sands.   On this trip are Kathy & Alex (Alex’s parents are at the house handling the grandkids), Hailey Wilson and fiancé Harrison Magee, and Lorra & Adam Archibald (Joe is at the house).  We have Nick and all the grandkids watching our house and feeding the pets while we are gon...

Cancun Day 7 - Fri DEC 6

Image
It was a day like any other day… up and at the pool by 9.  Lunch at the pool restaurant at Noon.  Lots of photos.  Celebrated with shots at 4.  Showers and then dinner at 6 down at the buffet, which was not a buffet tonight but they did have an awesome dessert table - where most folks had more than just a single dessert.  Back to the rooms to pack and clean up.  The other six are leaving in the morning.  We retired folks?  We are staying an additional two days so that we do not have to fly out on a Saturday with the rest of the world - and also because we can stay longer since, as aforementioned, we are retired! Sunrise over the beach this morning.  How beautiful is this???

Cancun Day 4 - Tues DEC 3

Image
Lorra, Adam, Harrison, Hailie, Alex, and Kathy got up and were out the door by 0800.  They jumped into a very comfortable, luxurious taxi with the smoothest suspension they’ve ever encountered for a 1-hour drive S to XCaret.  They spent the day there exploring - and Lorra even explored the Men’s changing room - or at least the parts she didn’t want to see.  Feel free to ask her what has been seen… Sandy and I rolled out at 9 and went to get pastries for breakfast.  We hit the pool at 10 and had to switch locations thrice to avoid the wind, shady palm trees, and shadows from the hotel.  We ate lunch pool side and Sandy sent a nasty photo to Nick of her banana monkey with the ocean in the background. We all returned close to 3 pm.  Showers were taken and then we went down to La Veranda for dinner.  It was sushi night.  Sandy was not impressed.  The rest of us did okay with stir fry, sushi, and some hot sauce that is really going to hurt tomorro...
