Sick baby Update

 The weather was much better today.  Nothing like yesterday. Yesterday was really cold and the wind blew 40 mph.  Trixie wasnt feeling at all well so she stayed in bed.  The Coonster stayed with her.  Art and I braved the weather but we never put our swimming suits on.   Every once in a while the sun would try to shine but it didn’t last long.  We had a great dinner at the Thai restaurant. 

Today was much better.  Trixie was doing better so we went and had hot stone massages and facials.  I loved loved loved mine.  I would say it was in the top three.  Trixie’s wasn’t as great. 

We braved it and went to the barter market so the Coonster and Trixie could get some things.  It was a success!  I needed to get some things from the Farmacia but there wasn’t one within walking distance.  Art asked the uber driver if he would stop at a Farmacia on our way back and he was more than happy to  but the one we stopped at wasn’t the one I wanted so he said he know of a different one he could take us to and yeah!!!!  It was the right one.  He was such a great guy and was so willing to help us out.  

The trip wore Trixie out so when we got back she went back to bed.  The Coonster joined us for dinner…..kinda…….. as we were waiting to get seated Trixies bug hit him and he had to hurry back to the room.  He is in bed not feeling good.  The good news is ……. What Trixie has wasn’t caused but eating gluten.  But dang I feel bad they are both sick……not a Happy Fiftieth Anniversary.

Hope tomorrow is better for them. 

It was a Ruin Kinda Day

 The weather has gotten a little chilly.  Not the great warm Caribbean weather we are used to.  

Man we got up super early to get on our private shuttle.  Art made arrangements for us to go to Chichen Itza with a private tour company so it was just the four of us. So it was worth getting up early.  It was great not having to go on a tour bus.  We had a great tour guide….. Dulce.  She was fun and very informative.  We got there before the big tour buses arrived.  That was also great.  We could go at our own pace and stop whenever we wanted.  As we were finishing up the buses arrived and there were people everywhere.   It was interesting, when we got there, there was a very long line of folks with carts and totes waiting to get in.  We discovered it was vendors.  Everywhere you went and every path you took it was completely lined with vendors.  It was crazy.  They set up and take down every single day.  I couldn’t believe it.  Art and I had been to the ruins before and I must say they are still awesome and I am so glad we went.  There is always a certain reverence to me when I am on the ruins grounds.

We were tired when we got back,  Everyone laid down for a quick rest.  Trixie and I went to the sweet shop.  I ate way too many sweets yesterday.  I am sure my blood sugars were way too high but it was sure good.

Dinner was an experience,  We went to an outdoor restaurant and it was cold.  Not only that to add insult to injury, the wind was blowing 30 mph…. truly Art looked it up.  And it look forever to get our food.  After we went back to our room to watch college football  and we all wrapped up in the hotel robes to warm up.  Oh they are so warm and comfy.  Trixie and the Coonster ordered hot chocolate and Art and I went to the sweet shop.  Sadly I think the hot chocolate had gluten as Trixie is now sick.  I feel so bad for her …..hope she feels better soon.   We were going to go to the market today but we’ll wait til Trixie is better.  Probably no beach this morning it is pretty chilly.

Stay tuned to see what we end up doing today and how Trixie is doing………….

It’s the Fiftieth Party

 I am a few days behind but that doesn’t mean this post will be forever long.  The Coonster and Trixie are celebrating their 50th anniversary.  What better way than spending a week in Cancun.

Miss R picked us up really early and I mean really early.  We are talking 5:30 am.  We are so grateful for her sweetness of taking us to the airport not to mention so freakin early. She dropped us off and after de icing the plane we were off.  We met up with anniversary couple in Dallas.  We had a 5 hour layover but it went by really fast as we visited and laughed the time away.  We arrived in Cancun around 9.  There was nobody in customs, so it was a breeze.  We got to the hotel and settled in and ordered room service.  After we went to the sweet shop but it was closed as they close at 11 pm.  We ended up staying up til after midnight.  

Yesterday Trixie and I went for a quick back massage.  Oh it was so heavenly.  Art and the Coonster went to the beach while we were gone.  We kinda did a rinse and repeat today except instead of a back massage, we did mani/pedis.  Then we spend time with the guys on the beach.  Last night after dinner we watched the end of one game and most of the other.  

A lot of the staff is the same and it is fun seeing them.  Breakfasts have been delicious and  last night’s dinner was too.  Tomorrow the plan is to go to Chichen Itza.  Another early morning.

See told it you it wouldn’t be a forever long post.
