Cancun Day 4 - Tues DEC 2

 Some of y’all may have received a preemptive text from my bride about the validity of this blog.  First of all, she must have eaten some bad shellfish or something.  She’s not in her right mind (well, not sure if she ever was!).  Second, this blog is not opinion.  It’s historical fact.  Records to be retrieved by future generations so they know what really happened on our vacations.  I have not the time, energy, nor motive to wax poetic.  Just the facts, ma’am.  So buckle up and read Tuesday’s history…

Up about 8-ish.  Down to the Rotunda bar for pastries.  Slather and to our chairs on the pool deck.  Then we played corn hole.  And Sandy actually played well enough to be a good teammate.  I mean like she was hitting the board!  Naw, it must have been the alcohol, cause she was putting all four bags on the board, sometimes 2 in the hole, and once a 3-bagger.  And she scored points, which never happens.  

For the historical record:  Game 1.  I went back twice in an attempt to keep the game close.  It took quite a while, but I let her win 21-20.  Game 2.  No one went back and I had to throw a four-bagger to stay in the lead.  I won 21-20.  Played the final tie-breaker.  I went up 20 - 1 cause it was hot out and about time for lunch.  I was done playing around.  Trying to get 1 point to win took a bit, but game ended 21-6.  With the rightful champion crowned victorious.  You wish to know what the winner received?  Same thing as the loser - an afternoon sitting around the pool and soaking up more sun.

More facts:  lunch was on the pool deck.  It sprinkled for about 5 minutes.  Called it quits about 4 pm as I for one had enough sun for the day on my five-head.  Showers and then surf & turf for dinner.  Sandy finished her puzzle.  I finished my book, “Hunting the Jackyl” by Billy Waugh.  It’s about a highly decorated vet who served for 50 years in the military and CIA hunting terrorist like bin Laden and Carlos the Jackyl.  Non-fiction.  

In bed and asleep by 11.  Wash, rinse, and repeat for another three days!  Stand by.  More facts tomorrow.  In the meantime, enjoy some photos…

It’s “raining” but note the clear sky


Finished puzzle.  Sandy was so happy.
The box said 5+ years and she finished it in two days!

    The "facts" are probably as close to being accurate as his delusional mind can handle. However, in 40+ years, he has NEVER let me win anything so... And, it may seem like 5 minutes of rain when you snore through the other10 minutes.

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...
