Was The Lightning

 Today was beautiful.  The sun was nice and bright.  We spent the day on the beach.  Art got up and scored us some loungers on the beach. We had the best view of the ocean.  We did take a little break to make appointments at the spa for tomorrow.  But I did get a foot/leg massage on the beach.  It was so heavenly.  My leg was hurting but after the massage it felt so much better.

I had a  zoom call for a short time this afternoon.  I am speaking in conference on Sunday so I needed to get it all set up so it would run smoothly on Sunday.

Art  ordered us guacamole, chips, and shrimp cocktail to have while we were getting cleaned up.

A friend of ours and her new husband are staying at one of the sister properties, so we travel out to see them and have dinner.  We had a great time visiting.  The food was so/so but we had fun none the less.  It started raining when we got there but it was just more of a sprinkle.  It didn't take long after that to start to thunder and lightning. At one point there was the biggest flash of light that went through the open air restaurant and before the flash was complete the biggest clap of thunder I have ever heard went off.  It started is all. I have never experienced anything even close to that before.  It was crazy to say the least. It poured rain on the cab ride back to our hotel and so it made the taxi ride even more scary but we make it back safe and sound. 

It  is supposed to rain tomorrow.  We have spa appointments so it will be ok but I do hope it doesn't rain all day. 

And We Are Back

And just like that we are back.   Not much has changed.  Some of the staff is still the same.  It is always nice to see familiar faces.

Today was a travel day.  Mr & Mrs W came last night and spent the night with us at home.  We had a great evening with lots of laughs.  We even had a surprise visit from Miss R.  It is always fun to have her come.

I got up at 3:45.  My alarm was set for 4:00 am but I instinctively knew when to wake up.  We were all ready to go by 5:00 so we decided to head to the airport.  Surprisingly the airport wasn't too busy.  We flew to Dallas and with  a very short layover we headed to Cancun.  We even arrived about 30 minutes early.  

Customs has streamlined even more and it was really easy.  We had a private ride to the hotel in a very nice new vehicle.  

not a lot has changed with the hotel.  We went to the quiet bar for a refreshing beverage and the waitress was the same one as last time. She is a cute gal.  She even remembered us.  that was nice.  We  had a not so delicious dinner. After dinner we went to the sweet shop then back to the quiet bar. Now we are getting unpacked and settled in.  The day has caught up to me and I am ready to hit my head on the pillow.

We have a friend here visiting at one of the sister properties so we are going to get together with her and her new husband tomorrow for dinner.

So excited to be here.
