(Virgin Report - Mark's part of the Story - Carrie will respond) This is Carrie Chiming in with the blue font... Thursday/July 1st - (airport by 5am - Austin) and had a huge layover in Houston so once there went to Pappadeux's - met a couple going to Cabo Temptations (there 1st time there) so talked/drank (Swamp Things cause a "game on"). Got to 'CUN' around 2pm - We booked through PlusTransfers because we wanted the cheapest one way route there due to doing the Taxi ride back (paid $26 for the 2 of us). After avoiding all the inside folks, saw our name,got our own van so worked out nice but those damn policia duerme (sleeping policeman - suck on that back route to the resort) especially while 'listening' to the here are all the events you can do while in Cancun (~one hour from landing to check-in counter). Asked for a room by the quiet pool and they had no issues with that - alot of why we came was to "relax". Met with Danni - never got asked ONCE for timeshare crap (Danniella - did ask for my 'color' copy of the grounds that I printed out from here). Room was in a good location, unpacked (we are those people that need 'everything' out). Went over by the sexy pool checked things out (no seats but not too crowded) - saw the lady that was passed out drunk and medic came over to help out (Carrie/Mark "oh my goodness this is gonna be an interesting 5 days"), decided to do the beach seats/thing. Went out to the ocean (there are jellyfish - even a huge dead on). This was our 6th time to Cancun so we really could care less about the waves/going deep into the 'blue waters' etc... Went from ocean to quiet pool and it was mainly Brits - met the cutest couple Ben (braver man than I could EVER be - taking 4 shots of insulin a day - it was interesting later in the week hearing the stories about situations he was in). FYI - I did NOT know this but if someone were to go into shock and you find their insulin shot in their pocket - DO NOT give it to them (they will in all likelihood go into a coma and die). Give them sugar/peanut butter/.... (yeah I'm 44 and can learn something all the time). Partaked with the other Brits in a different drink from LuLu every 5 to 10 minutes (thank god I got on the tail end of this game - because they were drinking some 'nasty' crap). Got out after a little bit and decided to try a little 'reservation' game.... Went to the Italian restaurant around 6:15 to see about getting in...<calmly with a $10 folded in my hand asked for a 7:15 time>...he looked around, looked at the list and said 7:30 & wrote down our room number (perfecto & pretty much shoo'd me to leave QUICKLY). I let Carrie know the time & I went to Pady O's, talked to some Canadians about drinks they liked (as they were leaving later that night). Italian was really great (only negative for us was the veal - pretty fatty) --> Caprese Salad, Carpaccio, Asparagus Soup, Filet, and Lamb were bingos and of course do not leave w/o the Mayan Coffee & Creme Brulee). We had Ricardo and he was a showman... Unfortunately this 'show' made us late to the lingerie Night (I did 'set' it up with the Capo/Maitre d' at this time for a Friday reservation as well for the same restaurant). lingerie night - we did not make it in Nice Shoes until around 9:25 - we were 'dressed in proper attire) (btw - did see the one guy that got his 100 Chip allotment by playing in the buff). Went to the bar (during the auction)... saw a lady that had placed her Texas sized melons on the counter (I assume to get better service - it made me look away & not want a drink). Watched the competition. Carrie and I, though dressed, were not at a 'drinking point' to enter....we were just "lurkers". The guy that won, got our loudest cheers, he was a brave soul wearing a lime green wrap and going upside down on the pole (almost breaking it) with nothing to hide. We danced up on stage for a long while and then proceeded to head to the room drenched in sweat. BTW - Tipped the Maitre d' $5 at the end of the meal (remember he got my reservations for the next night) and the waiter $25 (great 'channel 12' rendention show). Carrie's remarks for July 1st: Yes, our room was in a prime location for us...not too noisy (I'm a very light sleeper) yet very convenient to everything on property. One thing to point out though - due to the humidity, if you open your balcony door for even a split second, condensation forms on the tile inside your room making it slippery. I can't tell you how many times I busted my ass in the area between the closet & bathroom door!! To follow-up on some of Mark's comments: The Italian restaurant had great ambiance & a fabulous staff. Ricardo was hilarious both evenings when he would put on his "Channel 12 Face" (his words, not ours) while serving our food. His Mayan Coffee preparation was wonderful & the coffee itself was an unexpected little delight. lingerie/Casino night wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be, but then again as Mark said, we were observers more than active participants. Once the dancing started I felt like I was in my element - I love dancing & can usually dance for hours on end with Mark. As he noted, it was H-O-T hot & we could only stand to keep dancing for about an hour before needing a break. I would have expected to be a bit cooler having on so little clothing!! Friday/July 2nd - Up early to save a seat, 7:15 (using shirts as suggested here) # 7 & 8 to be saved. I believe if you did not get your 'reservation' by 9am you were SOL. Ate breakfast (Buffet every day for this - just easier to get an omellete or eggs the way you want them). Trying to be cool and talk Spanish the lady cook had fun for me as I asked for 'Arroz' tortillas (when I meant Mais) - oh well finally I said you know corn - oh well tipped her extra ($2) for putting up with dumbass Spanish 'skills'. Hung out, walked beach, stayed the whole day at the 'Sexy Pool' - except going to Volleyball, trying to play Cornhole (which Chris was running and was a bit of an ass), went to the beach, thought about trying the sailing but the wind was so bad I thought we would NEVER make it back. Met ALOT of great people this day : Shanna/Ed from Austin (we'll come back to them on July 4th), TCU fans, Johnny/Heather from Miss. (johnnyb), Mike/Anne Marie from NY (magz from New York), CoonAsses from Beaumont (Shane & Sara), a cute couple from North Carolina, OU fans/Wayne & Daylene (sp?) (who while we were sitting in a water pod - would NOT talk to Carrie - she was wearing a UT hat) and she was determined to talk with them - they finally asked to have her hat turned around and they were very friendly then, couple from Houston (Indian man/Asian female) who. Ate at La Margarita for lunch (only reason I point this out is because I asked Sinue, the waiter, to bring me some Muy Caliente sauce - unless you are a gluten for punishment I do not recommend this) It was a nice habanero sauce that proceeded to kick my ass at 3am,4am,5am 6:30am, 8am, etc... (back to 'dumbass' thoughts). The perfect couple contest was at 2pm and was awesome (4 great couples) and some funny ass answers especially from the NY Firefighter and his wife (she was really putting it to him - when asked "How many times a week they had sex - back home" She answer NOT ENOUGH and then I think when asked 'what is your favorite position' - her answer I thought was 'Any at this point') Oh well good laughs but very calm - and for the most part the crowd was NOT rowdy at all. Note: 1st time Carrie has EVER worn a thong bikini in public so huge step for her (she was running back and forth from the pool/bathroom/chair so damn fast I thought she was Usain Bolt from Jamaica) BTW that damn sexy pool bathroom is 'nasty' - I usually walked way over to the nicer quiet pools restroom (next to Mexican restaurant). After that saw the same (large melons) lady s*cking her own boobs and convincing guys to do as such (afternoon sexy pool show? that wasn't listed by the entertainment staff). Can't remember much else at the pool - fun to see the Brit boys doing their dancing. Music was all techno this day (which got OLD in a hurry). Late dinner at Italian - we changed up the main course and Carrie had the scampi that was 'fair' and I had the Grouper, which was good. Everything else was awesome again (appetizers rocked). Went to Pady O's for a quick drink after a late night dinner - I have NO CLUE how folks can have a room by that place. Mark pretty much covered everything for this day. I will admit that I spent more time in my poolside chair than normal as I was being overly conscious of my first time in a thong bikini. I was also definitely walking at a much faster pace than normal - getting from Point A to Point B was my only concern. When I would get up the nerve to slink into the pool, I must say that I enjoyed meeting everyone that we did that day. Mark & I did take our own cups with us on this trip (rather large Texas A&M and Univ of Texas cups, I might add - they hold 32 ozs of fluid, yes that's 4 cups!) and towards the end of the day I wasn't nearly as uncomfortable as I had been that morning. At dinner, Ricardo was even more hilarious than the night before. He & Mark had discussed Mark's discomfort as a result of the excessive spice at lunch to which Ricardo said to Mark "Remember, I'm a professional. Should you need to excuse yourself I'm more than equipped to ensure your wife has a nice time this evening". The maitre d', Danielle (he's from Italy), was also an active participant throughout our dinner as well. It just goes to show that even a small tip goes a long way there. We really did have a great experience both nights in that restaurant. Saturday/July 3rd - Look at 'habanero' report. I was NOT getting up early today and we had decided today would be a 'sleep in'/quiet pool day and funny part is the power went out at the sexy pool and the 4000/5000 room numbers (call it South side of the resort) for a good 3 hours in the smack dab of the . Went to the quiet pool and I kept running back and forth to watch the soccer 'games'. Brought out the Bose ipod portable docking station and played 80's music - no one complained as it was relaxing music. Met Jenna and Mike from Baltimore and talked with them for most of the day (She is a double masectomy survivor and politely asked me while laying out topless if it bothered me - I said 'Hell No' - as she has not had the nipples put on) Awesome to hear these great stories and what people go through to 'LIVE' instead of just sitting there and becoming a 'whoa' is me person. I don't remember eating alot this day nor drinking a whole heck of alot but it was Carribbean Buffet night and I love this style food. Talked with Jeff and Marebell (sp?) from Indiana (filamglobetrotters) (who travel to the Phillipines and Thailand & were going to Le Meridian later) - they can tell you their funny story about checking out 'early'. Also later talked with 2 'younger' British girls on everything from Beckham/Posh to the X-Factor to British Soccer. They actually started talking because Bonnie Tyler was playing on our Bose. Strolled over to the Sexy Pool a few times and actually watched the Beer Drinking contest. I rooted for the World side because they had less people (and YES I come from German roots) - the most awesome/friendly Canadian mohawk guy kicked their asses. I loved hearing the British guys singing the song (especially the one about you are SHIT to the USA side). Ate at the El Embarcadero (buffet) for dinner, still upset stomach, hung out for a while at the beach and around for 'couple' time and crashed. Note: 1st time for Carrie to go 'topless' - quiet pool was the right locale for this try. This was definitely a great relaxing day for us. Jenna & Mike were awesome and it was great to get to know Jeff & Maribelle (my apologies if I've misspelled any names!). On this day I decided that I was comfortable enough amongst our new friends to try going topless for a bit. Lulu's frozen 'purple shit' & 'miami vice' drinks while listening to 80's music provided a relaxing enough backdrop for this new step. While laying out face down I asked Mark to unhook my top - I figured I would tan my back before casually flipping over. Note to self: next time you're working up the nerve to go topless for even a small amount of time, just go for it!! I spent way too much time analyzing & thinking it through. The result was a burned butt & back that are still haunting me. Mark & I must have been quite a sight at the buffet dinner - he was still nursing his 'habanero issues' and I would have been more comfortable standing up at the table while eating. If anyone in the rooms on either side of us could hear through the walls that night, they probably thought we had Channel 12 on throughout the night or that we were having an extremely extended amount of 'couple time'. Everytime I moved, rolled over, or shifted I would inadvertantly scream out "Oh My God" out of sheer pain. Sunday/July 4th - Anywhere else to be but the Sexy pool. UP early and locking in on chairs (with the USA flags flying on the chairs). Walked around outside of the resort (we needed to find the REAL El Embarcadero because we are going on an excursion in 2 weeks when we come back with the kids). Went to 0XX0 (read Observations) and relaxed looking around for a few hours - even stopped at the church service that was going on. Spent a good 8 hours at the sexy pool. Drank. Won Cornhole with the Philly's fan NY Fireman's wife on my team as we were against him and Stephanie (yeah baby we were down 16 to 3 and won 21 to 18!!!) - I renamed this Maishole (I dont' have to give a pronunciation do I?). Drank Played Volleyball. Drank. Talked to too damn many people. Ate the BBQ food (which I thought was excellent) Laughed as Carrie went out in a white thong and proceeded to go topless the whole day. By 5pm - she was in I don't care mode. We watched Shanna get robbed in the contest (she went down on Ed in public and should have won - oh well nothing to be upset about) Just a reason to have another shot. Amy/Stephanie were constantly pouring some green/red/pink stuff in all our mouths. Met some of HammerMike's crew (Alan and Dana) + ALOT others (including Scott/Beth) - Ronda/Scott from Austin....countless others (again back to being Male and bad with names) We mainly hung out near the 'middle' water pod. Carrie coerced the Brit guys into lots of dancing (Bret, Ryan, Brian, etc..) - Carrie is really getting lit up now (Long Island Ice Teas!!!) Even Bret partakes in asking her to 'party' with him - she says 'oh there is my husband' - he turned pretty read. Reason I know she was lit up is because we danced poolside and showed our hairpulling dance 'technique' - Oh well BLAME IT ON THE ALCOHOL!!! Did a backflip with the Brits and later one of them crack'd his head (yes we should NOT have been doing this activity 'but'...it was a drunk 4th of July) Over to quiet pool (just to say Hi) - turned into a 6pm to 9pm 'mingle - Sat next to Ben/Rachel (the super nice Brits we met the 1st day - talked about all the fun things they were doing in Cancun). Met Daniel & Sharon from UConn (DMaldon76), Jay and <forget her name> (cute couple from New York who tricked us by trying to say they were brother/sister at 1st) - these two were super friendly and nice. My British older gentleman (who gave me his England cap) and would NEVER tell me his name (I thought it was Glenn) but we knew his wife for sure (Pam). This woman was 'sh*t face' and mean. I thought she was going to EAT Carrie at one point and Rachel had to go save Carrie (at this point from lit up to a step closer to pass out). Brought the Bose out and played music at the quiet pool bar. Had several different shots (included that crappy Sambuco). I turnaround and now some young 25 year old guy (Jeff Stryker) is hitting on Carrie and I am laughing - she proceeds to egg him on with her pin size pupils until 'oh would you like to meet my husband'. He turns out to be friendly and says let me get you a drink, sorry dude, etc... I tell him I am 44 years old (way past the point of getting arsed up over thing) and have nothing to be jealous about if my wife is getting propositioned by guys 20 years younger than me. Good laughs. Well the night pretty much ends here BECAUSE Carrie passes out at 9:20pm... I was able to get a little food in her from the buffet but immediately got it OUT of the room for fear it would cause her to vomit (that came later in the AM). Said Hi to Scott/Rhonda/Shanna/Ed at Patty O's after dropping off the plates and off to the room (channel 12 and hand towel night - oh well). I would like to start off by stating that I am finding a few discrepancies between Mark's and my versions of the accounts of the day. From what I can recall anyway...We did begin our day with a nice walk outside of the property and stopped to purchase a few large Red Bulls (I like Red Bull & Vodka). This would prove to be the beginning of the end for me. As we returned to our room I decided that I needed to buy a new bathing suit at the resort shop for a couple of reasons: One being that it was the 4th of July & I had failed to bring anything red, white or blue. The second being that due to the burn I received the day before I thought it would be a good idea to purchase yet another thong to 'even out' things before I ended up with some insane looking tan lines. 30 minutes and $94.18 USD later...The credit/debit card machine happened to be down & they were only able to accept cash at that point. How convenient & lucky for me that there was an ATM a mere 3 steps to the left of the counter!! Mmm hmmm, happened to be down. 9 bucks of that total was the ATM fee I paid. I normally wouldn't be typing about any of this ATM stuff, but lets be honest, I knew even at that point this was a suit I was only going to wear once. Mark & I don't vacation enough without the kids for me to be poolside with my sunnyside up! Back in the room while wiggling into my new purchase, reality sinks in. I'm going to be in a thong again and this time with a small triangle top that provides no help to make them perkier than they really are. I need a drink. It's 10:00ish at this point and I start off with my first Texas-sized Red Bull & Vodka of the day. Breakfast of Champions. After dragging Mark to the beach so I could quickly frolic in the water (I wanted to get the suit wet & have Mark do a quick check to ensure you couldn't see through it once it came in contact with water - didn't think of that while purchasing this white suit), I assumed my position in my lounge chair poolside with book in hand. By 11:00 I had finished my first beverage. As luck would have it, I was already in the pool with Mark watching the Perfect Couples contest, so sliding up to the bar didn't take a second thought. After the contest & back in my chair with my 2nd drink underway I've already braved laying on my stomach to work on the tan lines on my butt...a few minutes of that & some 80's music blasting from the actual DJ, I've decided it's time to flip over and be topless. Who would have thought a mere 2 days ago that I would end up topless in a thong at the Sexy Pool?!?! A few mins later our 'chair neighbors' at the pool (NY Firefighter & his wife that Mark has written about) come sit down with the bbq lunch & their freshly topped off drinks. Mark & FDNY discuss drinks and he says he's having a Long Island Iced Tea. That suddenly seems like the best drink EVER to me and I decide that I must have one. I sucked down the rest of my 32 ozs of RB&V, slam my cup down & yell 'Domino, Bitches!!', then walk my happy ass up to the bar for my very own LIIT. We are now at the Middle of the End for me. A few uneventful hours later (I think they were uneventful anyway) I decide I should tell the young British boys that I've been admiring their mad techno-dancing skills for these past few days. I'm the type of person that will say something positive to someone to make them feel good about themselves, just because. There are way too many negative people & comments out there already, so what does it hurt to tell someone that color looks good on them or that I wish I had an ass like theirs? Right?? After introductions I find that it's the older brother that is the more superior of the dancers than little brother & their friend who could really only do the Running Man move. Bless his heart. I decide to secretly tell each of them that they are the more superior dancer & puff their individual egos a bit which leads to some sort of testosterone driven unofficial dance-off thing. Mark convinces me that we need to be dancing too, only our dancing is more couple oriented than what they were doing. We decide to leave the Sexy Pool to head back to our room, I think that was the plan anyway. Walking past the Quiet Pool, however, we see several sets of our friends from the previous days!! Fabulous! This is a wonderful opportunity for us to do a couple of shots with them all. Not sure how long we were there, but it was long enough that the sun went down & 2 of the couples we left the Sexy Pool with had all come back down on their way to dinner - nicely showered, made up & dressed appropriately. (I was still wearing my new morning purchase - at least I was now wearing the top & had a wrap around my waist, albeit a sheer wrap.) Not sure how the whole thing went down, but Mark told me there was a British couple on the other side of the bar that wouldn't tell Mark what the husband's name was. We got 'Pam' out of the wife, but for some odd reason, they were being tight lipped about his name. I'm a fairly social being and will take a challenge from Mark when he informs me there is someone that's refusing to be social back. It's my mission to get them talking! He knows this about me & I'm pretty sure it was intentional on his part to send me over to Pam for some fraterinization. We'll title that part of the evening "Lamb to the Slaughter". Rachel swooped in with the save during that incident and while grabbing my arm said "Mum, our dinner table is ready". Not quite sure how any of us managed to contain our laughter outbursts but we did. Sure I'm older than Rachel but only by 12 yrs. She's a 5'10"ish beautiful brown haired British dialect proper speaker in dinner attire. I on the other hand am not even 5'4" blonde with a very Texan accent in a thong bikini. Mother & Daughter on our way to dinner was a perfectly believable story! After that Mark disappeared but I took one for the team and kept drinking on our behalf as the representative of us as a couple. (Found out later DJ Jazzy Mark went to get some music from our room). It seems the end is near for me!! We get to the room, Mark brought dinner in for me, I wasn't interested, he took it out of the room before the smell got to me. Here is the most major of the discrepancies: I do remember 'couple time'. And apparently Mark was the one who forgot that he thought he was some professional photographer that night too. I've checked the photos and there are no signs of a hand towel or Channel 12 in any of them. Nice try though. ;o) That's the end of Carrie. Lame. It wasn't even 9:30. **Complete sidenote here: I should have remembered to thank the DJ for not playing Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" during his 80's playlist. That song tends to bring out the inner stripper in any and all women. With the amount of alcohol I was consuming & with all inhibitions having disappeared, I am quite certain I would have ended up on a bar somewhere. Monday/July 5th - Rockstar Carrie up and adam (she is always GREAT if she porcelain gods it - if not its bad)... we had breakfast around 9am (and Stephanie sat with us - she is 2 months new as part of the Entertainment staff and is from Toronto - she was truly awesome to talk to and to get to know - tipped her for SURE). Got a late checkout of the room for 2pm (flight left at 5pm). Over to hang out at the quiet pool for the last few pool hours. I played beach volleyball (getting more burnt) - with all the times we played we never did loser had to drop trowell and get then in ocean - just fun games. Talked to Jenna/Mike, I forget the other couple from Houston (I am sure they will chime in - as she was with an Oil company - NOT BP - & him with Energy). Got showered/packed. Ate in the Buffet while watching the Mr Temptations contest - saw the voyeurs video taping from the buffet. The guy that won, I noticed had ALOT of bathing suits (in fact one lady's bathing suit was lost and she was just there naked for a LONG time). Not sure what happened ... but I am sure they did something. Left at 2:30 with the $25 Taxi ride to the airport. All was good. Not much to report here from me. I was sick once in the night. I'm very thankful that my husband knows when to put my hair in a ponytail before putting me to bed though. So thoughtful, that Mark. I was up at 7:30 enjoying some Chex Mix & a coke while watching the BBC news channel before we wrapped up our trip with a few hours at the quiet pool. Notes: Sorry no "club nights' for us - we have done the clubs down there and vowed to just stay at the resort Observations - if I did not remember names or got names wrong in the above sorry - we met alot of people - and many while 'drinking' - anyway I am a man and can't remember SHIT Mark calls them "Observations"...I'll be calling mine "Lesson's Carrie has Learned" 1. Stick with what you know: Frozen drinks are a much better speed for me than, oh say, a Long Island Iced Tea. LIIT's sip through a straw much faster than the frozen concoctions & lead to days like I had on Sunday. 2. Stick with what you know, Part Deux: If you can't handle extreme hot sauce or are unable to drink your weight in alcohol in the US of A, odds are you can't do it in Mexico either. I found this out the hard way on both accounts. 3. Although it's a catchy little tune that Joe Nichols sings, it's Long Island Iced Teas, NOT Tequila, that makes my clothes fall off. 4. No matter how hard I try, there will always be a few Pam's in the world. 5. When sunscreen comes into contact with the acrylic paint on a perfectly fine Big XII 32 oz cup, the paint will smear and come off. Just FYI: the acrylic paint likes to smear onto your bathing suit and does NOT come out of it. Yet another reason I won't be wearing the new white thong bikini again. It has both burnt orange & maroon smeared across the left boob on the top. 6. Chinos' mantra about no one giving a shit is true!! I know this now & will have no problems returning. Only next time I won't have to be liquored up just to wear a skimpy little suit! Tips: Front Desk - $10 for getting us over to the quiet pool room area, Danni (Concierge) - $5 for talking with us at the beginning and not sending us to the timeshare folks, Nice Dinners ($20 to $25 waiter: $3 to $5 Maitre d'), Breakfast ($3 to $5), Lunch ($4 to $5), Buffet ($4 to $5).....Maid ($5 a day - put on a note - por la senora de limpia or limpieza). Waiters as you see fit (I would go from $1 to $5 depending on 'what' I was all ordering), Entertainment staff (as you see fit), Towel guy that was nice to us $3 - the last day. I did notice ALOT of folks not tipping and that is definitely each person's call (NOT my style because if you actually sat and had conversation with some of the folks - they are paid ONLY by tips - no salary at all + the wife and I have been in the service industry in our 'youth'). If you need something 7/11 like (we bought the BIG Red Bulls for 50 pesos and sun screen for less at the 0XX0 store --> as you walk out of the hotel - it is across the street and to the left (about 2 blocks). Other choices are Walmart (taking Rt 2 bus to the right/South) Everything everyone says is awesome about the staff: Entertainment wise (Chinos is excellent - he does 'ride' his cast members hard sometimes). Amy/Stephanie/Pedro were the greatest. Chris - not so good and acted 'full of himself' Awesome part is in 2 week (July 17th to the 25th) we get to see Omar and alot of folks told us stories about him as he is at the Gran Caribe Real (where we will be with our kids). Questions feel free.......Hopefully Carrie will post 'her side of the story' in day or so.............. We did talk about going back over Thanksgiving We truly enjoyed meeting EVERYONE we did & hope to stay in touch. DITTO!!!! Meeting everyone & exchanging information was by far the most enjoyable part!!
Great Report - holy shit we were wondering if anyone brave enough with diabetes would go. Hell No! do not ever give insulin if someone is passed out they should always have a RED GLUGON with them. Our daughter has diabetes, she was at camp so we took a long needed break from the everyday shots and checking.
EXCELLENT TRIP REPORT!!!!! I love how you included lots of details!!! great fun to read and I cant wait to get back!!! sounds like you had a awesome time! I like how you accept everyone for who they are, and not what they look like!! kudos to you!!
Us computer nerds have to type fast.... BTW - I like the threads about the tipping. I did get conflicted on certain occasions for tipping (and did NOT tip the bartenders everytime probably every other). With regards to the maid tipping, I took the big water and at least a coke everyday from the room to the pool & a new one was there when I left the $5. So I figured it was worth not having to go figure out how to get another one or go to the gift shop.
GREAT REPORT!! Love the details!! Oh..BY THE WAY...is that a Reggie Bush shirt i see in the profile picture? WhOOO DAT!! Michelle
Excellent report! So glad the two of you had an awesome time! We leave tomorrow and these reports surely help!
