Cancun Day 3 - Mon DEC 1

 Hello Day 3.  It continues to be warm down here.  Not much of a breeze, which requires more trips to the pool to stay cool.  Is there any sympathy out there???  Didn’t think so!

Up and at the pool deck by 9:30.  Stayed there until lunch - on the pool deck.  Sandy went to paint while I held down the chairs - on the pool deck.  Our bums decided that by 4:30 they needed a break.  Back to the rooms for showers and then to the buffet where it was a Mexican Fiesta theme.  One twist, the show was moved to the outside stage.  This offered more room to eat and more room for the show.  Alas, since we’ve seen it no fewer than 30 times, we were okay staying in the room after dinner.  Sandy worked on a puzzle and I got thru 1/3rd of a new book.  

And while the internet said we could get Monday Night Football in Mexico, the survey said Nada!  Thus, the TV remained silent for the evening.  (Yes, I know I could have used a VPN and watched the game on my iPad.  It was not that important).  We racked out by 11 - which is the latest so far this week.  We must be catching up on our rest finally.  Again, any sympathy???  Why not?  It still remains bitterly cold at home and more snow falling.  We got the call again last night that school was on another 2-hr delay due to inclement weather.  For sure we are going to freeze trying to adjust to the cold.  The older I get, the less I like the temps to be below 40 F (4.5 C).

Enjoy some photos of the day…

Cancun ‘25 - Sat NOV 29

 Wow.  Short night, like 2.5 hrs but that’s still 2 more hours than my bride.  Headed for the airport at 4 am to crystal clear skies under the star-decked canopy of the universe.  Traffic was light and the airport not too crowded.  Ran into Steve & Glenda Clossin who were on the same flight down here.  Seems both families like to take this week as vacation since we meet up quite frequently in the airport. Flight was smooth and we set a standard that can hypothetically be beat but odds are will never:  plane parked at the closest gate to immigration.  We were the only plane arriving and as we walked up, a second line opened up making us the first in line.  From plane to baggage claim was maybe 5 mins.  No lines at the restrooms.  Sandy’s luggage was second off.  And here’s where the improvement can come - my suitcase was second to last off.  Walked out to private taxi and were in the van before Sandy could get her flops...

Cancun Day 2 - Sunday, April 27, 2025

 Sandy and I crashed at 8 pm Saturday night and we did not get up this morning until 8 am.  We put on our suits and slathered before heading to the pool.  Sandy met Nick and Shelby at the pastry shop for breakfast.  And then we waited until 11 am for the bar to open.   We ate lunch at the pool restaurant.  We re-slathered with sunscreen and then stayed at the pool for drinks, naps, and dips to cool off before calling it a day at 5:30.  We took showers and then played two games of cards before heading off to dinner.  Tonight’s fare was not the buffet but a full menu.  Nick and I had fish and the girls had chicken. We did meet our concierge at the pool this morning.  She set us up with reservations for three evening meals - two here at the resort and one steak house off-site.  Other than that, we have no trips / excursions planned.  Our goal is a solid week of lounging around the pool and occasionally checking out the ocean - whi...

Cancun Day 4 - Tues APR 29

 Lather, Rinse, Repeat.  Up at 7:30.  On the pool deck by 8:30.  Lunch at restaurant at Noon.  And here’s where some adventure comes in - someone “borrowed” on of our deck chairs while we were at lunch.  No, they were not sitting in it, but they had moved it and put their stuff on it.  Why do I say it was “ours?”  Because the resort gives you flags to post on the chair allowing you to claim it for the day so long as you do not abandon it for more than 2 consecutive hours - which we had not done.  Besides, my shoes were still sitting under the chair.  To me, no worries.  After putting on more sunscreen I will rightfully reclaim my chair and apologize for their misunderstanding should there be any type of confrontation. Sandy and I beat Shelby and Nick back to the pool deck.  I politely take any extra stuff - towels, sunscreen, shoes - and relocate it to another one of their chairs.  Then we turn our chairs to face W so we g...
