Our Unit

It's good luck to rub a budha's tummy!!!

We arrived in Mexico around 3 PM yesterday.  Bill had booked a car with some Economy company and we came out of the airport and were immediately accosted by every taxi and tour company around as we looked for the guy who would be holding a sign with Bill's name on it.  We finally located him and then he called for a shuttle to pick us up to take us to the rental lot.  When we got there there were some folks ahead of us who were very unhappy with the vehicles they had been given.  They were very dirty and one of the vehicles was too small to carry their six passengers and luggage.  It was quite the gong show.  Bill waited in line for an eternity and finally we got the paper work done and they brought our car around.  By now it was dark so it was hard to do a proper inspection but we did do the best we could and Jenifer photographed all the bangs and dings.  Ours, fortunately wasn't as filthy as the vehicles the people before us had had but it certainly wasn't spotless.   By this point however we were just anxious to get on our way.  Hit the highway and had no issues getting to the resort.  Checked in but there were no beach front rooms as we had ordered.  The lady checking us in said we could check back the next day and perhaps there would be some available but we did that this morning and the beach units are all booked.  Oh well...our rooms are very nice and honestly I don't think we've spent more than a half hour in the room all day!  The weather is a little overcast today....cooler than what we expect for Mexico but then we have never been here this time of year.  There was a forecast for rain today and we decided to go into Playa del Carmen as Gary forgot his running shoes.  Did a little shopping....not much and headed back here, had lunch and hit the beach.  Later in the day the guys went for a workout (they have a great fitness facility) and Jenifer and I hit the Cupcake Cafe for Cafe Mochas!!!  Delicious!  After that we went to the long pool which is really long (probably about 6 lengths of a regular pool) and Jenifer went for a swim.  I just read my book.  Saving myself for Fiesta Night tonight but will definitely hit the workout room tomorrow.  Can't be a total beach bum for the whole entire two weeks.  Tomorrow we will go down and enquire about booking the little sailboats that are available to guests, as well as the kayaks  Also have plans to go to Akumel which is a great place to go snorkelling.  Jenifer and Gary have never been to a Sinote (underground river) so we will plan to do that as well this week.  Have a few things planned but just thought we'd get accustomed to our resort and where everything was today.    The weather is supposed to be better tomorrow and I think plus 27 is probably better than what you guys are facing back home!  Will stay in touch!
