Day 2 : Adventure Time

Up at 7 and somehow Addison is in the bed with us, and her and Stacie are going blow for blow in a snoring cage match.  I conceded the high ground and went to the gym, then everyone met up at 9 for breakfast.  We recapped yesterday, read the blog, ate, and then headed off for the atv tour.

The tour was a blast, everyone had fun, we saw lots of beaches, lots of animals, lots of locals living in shacks along the road, a pig being butchered for a feast tonight, and crabs.  It’s very nice weather, the beaches are super pretty, and the sand is dark but sugar consistency.  None of them was very crowded, but each seemed to have some locals that were gathered together having a good time.  It appears that all the beaches are natural and they all seem to have a big rock protecting them.  I’m still amazed nobody crashed.

Back at the resort and we are heading to the pool, but stopped for lunch first.  Lunch was pretty good, the best part was the Pina colada.  Andy got the GoPro going and we went over to the pool.  I found a chair and a towel and took a little cat nap, but woke up two hours later noticing that the crew had abandoned me.  Walked to the beach to see the sunset and then back to the room for a shower to get ready for the “big special event” as it appears they go pretty hard on the 24th here vs Christmas Day like most countries.

The event tonight is a performance and buffet that is on the beach, its setup very cute and enjoying hearing the waves behind us.  The show started and we grabbed some food.  I got to hear the worst version of jingle bells ever created by man, but the buffet was pretty good.  I think we sampled every single desert, which was an accomplishment.  Addison had to have 2 slices of chocolate cake but was mostly successful in avoiding the vegetables along the way.  We contemplated leaving with Andy well into the sand as his chair couldn’t hold him up, despite being the only one not drinking (pretty sure the Shirley Temples have tequila in them).  Stacie somehow has 9 beverages in front of her and she’s already drank 3 before this happened.  Addie had to perform a ceremonial burial of the olive I dropped “it’s like it never happened dad”.  The show proceeded and I was really impressed with the “cowboys with napkin hands” holding baskets dance came on, that’s my favorite for sure.  From there it went downhill fast and I was chastised about my dance moves with the napkins that some found offensive.  Andy has been thrown off the mechanical bull and now has a hurt foot with a contusion.

We headed back to the room to play cards, Addison got two loners and then everyone dispersed to bed.

Day 1 : Off We Go

Image
Up at 6:30 to pack the last of our bags, load up the coffee, and grab a cup of dog.  Yah, it’s starting slow this morning.  We dropped the dog off at Grandpas house after listening to Queen all the way on the car ride.  Judy is giving us a ride to the airport (thanks Judy!) then it’s through security without incident and to the admirals club.  Addison says the biggest thing that she’s excited about is to see her sister. Admirals club breakfast spread was not up to princess standards so she ventured out to Starbucks and then sat over by herself for some voluntary alone time.  Addie is doing the Murdle (some murder mystery game on my iPad) and the people watching in the admirals club is great, and it’s packed in here.  Someone actually has an emotional support goose, and I’m not even kidding.  Boarded our flight and off we go! As per usual, I'm the quartermaster of the trip.  So far I've provided an Ipad (which Addison forgot), Airpods (which Addiso...

Day 4 : The Lizard Chase

Image
Slept in with everyone till 9 and then off to the buffet, and was greeted by a little monkey outside our door, who proceeded to catch a katydid and bit its head off.  It’s the circle of life out here in the jungle.  Addie read the blog from yesterday and we talked about all the fun last night.  Bridget and Andy made it to their flight and everything went smoothly.  Back to the room (with bananas for the monkeys in tow) to put on swim suits and went to the pool.   Kind of low key today so far as everyone is reading books and monitoring the amount of sun that they get.  Addison takes every opportunity to chase a lizard everywhere we go.  We sat down at lunch and there is a lizard of course, so that dominated the conversation over the horrible beach jazz rock music blaring.  He did however enjoy some of my civeche before he departed.  Stacie got a dirty money in honor to John Henke (Addison had to do all the stirring) After lunch we got in the p...
