Cancun Day 8

Don and I got up and had breakfast about 7:00. After breakfast we grabbed a couple of wake boards and rode the waves in the ocean. It was great. Then we got in the swimming pool. I stayed in the pool while Don stretched out on a lounge chair. It was a beautiful cloudless day. Then we went to our room about 10:00 and showered and got ready to head out. Boohoo. Dan got Shawna's crud so they hung out in the room. We all had lunch together and then we headed to the airport. Somehow Dan and Shawna's luggage got broken on the way to the airport. The flight was good. We made it through customs with flying colors. Then the adventure began. The hotel we stayed at in Denver was downtown which meant a 45 minute drive from the airport. First let me say the rooms were nice and the bed was comfy. Don asked the driver about the restaurant in the hotel and he said they close at 10:00 p.m. (it was currently 9:00 p.m.) and then it turns into a bar. Then when we checked in the guy at the front desk told us we need to hurry and eat as the restaurant closed and changed drastically at 10:00. The operative word there is drastically. We went in and there were quite a few folks already there to party. I counted six big and I mean buff guys walking around in black shirts marked security. They all had handcuffs and tasers. Hhmmmmm. They were playing rap crap and while there were several ethnic groups represented we were the only whites in the joint. Dan not feeling good, decided to back to the room and get some medicine. He was gone a long time and Shawna was getting worried about him. We started joking about how maybe they would charge him a cover charge to get back in. Finally he showed up and he was not a happy camper. His room key didn't work so he had to get it fixed at the front desk. Then when he came back and started in the restaurant which by now was the bar, security stopped him and they wanted to charge him the cover charge. Oh dear. Then they checked him with the security wand and patted him down. They put a band on his wrist and let him in. We said he got searched and tagged. When he told us what happened we all tried really hard not to laugh. It really was funny and he can laugh about it now. I was worried we would have to hear the partying all night but once we got to our rooms it was nice and quite. Let the power nap begin. We have to get up at 5:15 a.m. to get back to the airport.
