Spring Break Day 4 Tuesday March 17

Happy St. Paddy’s Day everyone!


Well it rained off and on all day today.  We started at the pool about 0900.  We got some cornhole games in.  Adam and I beat Austin and Andy.  Andy and I beat Adam and Austin.  Austin and I were up when we took a rain delay.  

Lunch was on the pool deck, out of the rain.  Back to the room to play Euchre.  Poor Austin can’t catch a break.  Andy and I beat Sandy and Austin 2-1.  In those three games Austin may have gotten one single ace to go through.

The rains came again, but since Andy, Austin, and I were in the pool, we didn’t care!  The other room?  They were at the Rotunda bar playing cards as well.  Seems that Adam needs to learn how to play cards same as Austin needs help.  Sandy decided a walk was in order and took laps around the resort, logging a couple of miles.

Dinner was International night cuisine.  Probably our best meal to date.  Back to our respective rooms.  More Euchre for us.  Sandy and Austin lost 3 straight before we taught Austin how to play bid Euchre.  He and Sandy lost two straight games of bid Euchre.  

I got a text from Unger.  He said, “I hear you’re doing what winners do!”  It told him, Every Day!

Enjoy some photos:

This is how you keep warm during a rain storm!

Cancun ‘25 - Sat NOV 29

Image
 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

Image
 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 1 - SPRING 2025 Trip

Image
 It was very early in the morning, like 3:00 o’clock early, when we got up on Saturday, April 26th.  We took showers, fed the pets, and then picked up Nick and Shelby to head for the airport.  It was cooler than predicted, like in the low 40’s (4 C).  And while Sandy and I got about 4 hours sleep, those two “youngsters” stayed up all night! Our flight touched down in Cancun at 9:30 am, which is one hour behind home.  We breezed thru Customs and Immigration and took a taxi to the Royal Sands hotel on the island of Cancun.  Our rooms were not ready yet because we arrived before the previous guests checked out.  So we did what we had to do - ate lunch at the poolside restaurant where Shelby stated, “This is my seat for the rest of the week” as she looked out over the ocean as we sat in a now balmy 81 degrees (27 C). We called home to let everyone know we had arrived safely.  We have Kathy’s family watching our house and pets while Nick hired a house-...
