Cancun-day 1

Hola!!! This is day one of our fun filled vacation. Dan and Shawna picked us up at 5:50AM. The flights were all good. It is interesting how the airlines now charge for almost everything. We did still get a complimentary drink. We packed our own snacks. My passport number was entered wrong in Boise but I got it fixed in Denver so all was well. The flight attendant told us we could not take fruit (which we knew) or nuts (which we didn't know) with us when deplane. So we ate as many cashews as we could and threw the rest away. What she failed to say is we can't have beef jerky. We had some and Wilkes had some. We found out when the police dog smelled it in Shawna's backpack. The dog sniffed my bag sat down and then got up and walked away. Shawna was not as lucky. They searched her bag. She got off with a warning. Whew! Off to the hotel. It has been at least 5 years since we stayed at this particular hotel. It has changed a lot!!! It is very nice but Shawna and I both remarked how we miss the way it use to be. Oh well I guess that is progress. It would have changed any way thanks to a hurricane a few years ag0. Don't get me wrong the hotel is very nice. The room is nice and we have a great balcony. We had steak dinner and got acquainted with the hotel and then went to our room to watch the BSU game via the sling box. We ordered salmon, chips and guacamole to snack on. Yummy. Overall it has been a great day. Now we are tired and need to turn in.
