Where to begin? This is super overdue but I have been working on it slowly but surely! First I want to say this was our 4th time back and it was THE BEST TRIP YET!! The Orange wristbands was like instant *Fast Pass* to a TERRIFIC TIME!!! It was like going to the front of the line Not a second was wasted, no *Gee I wish we would of met you seven days ago but we leave in the morning.* We saw old friends and met a ton of new. We always go the first week of December and for us, it is a great time to go. This report is going to be LONG and will have some inside jokes, so bare with me. Arrival Dec 1st: I booked us out of the first flight available. We live four minutes from our local (tiny) airport. The flight left for Atlanta at 6:00 am with no problems. Got to Atlanta and was happy to be back in Braves Land (BOSTON SUCKS) Flight left out of Atlanta at 8:45 and we rode the quick 3 hour flight and landed at 11:45. We always use USA Transfers and they were waiting for us and quickly took us to the resort. The last time we had been was 2007 and the resort in 2007 was a disaster area from all the construction. It looks FANTASTIC now!! we had used Express check in but to be honest there was nothing *faster* about it then normal. I had requested a certain area and the rooms were still being cleaned. We were starving so we headed for the buffet, then back to get our keys, up to the room and right back down to the pool. I saw Ken and Cheryl and we met Jesse, Team Tractor, The Scuffys, Krista and Scott, Karen and Lorenzo and Guy....if I forget your name I apologize. we met a ton of people from the forum and once again the Orange wrist bands came in very handy! The day was a blast! the weather was yucky, I have never seen it this cold. After a ton of shots though it was fine I finally saw Sue and it was great to see her again. I bust out bottle number one of Limoncello and it seems to be a big hit with all who tried it. I see JMG944T and his wife and take them over some Limoncello, it was very nice to finally meet some of the people on the forum that we have not seen on our previous trips. We had fun hanging out with everyone until it got a bit cool so we headed upstairs for a nap and then back down for dinner. We met up with the gang at Nice Shoes and watched the Male and Female strippers. Both Sue and Jesse got picked out of the crowd ha-ha. After that we went to Patios and drank a bunch of Rainbow shots and then went to the beach to take photos in the Hurricane Force winds.... we were both laughing as we viewed the photos. We then went over to the pull up bar and captured some really cool pictures. No one was around but me and Steve and we were like two little kids. I mention the photos because on the very next day some asshole STOLE my camera, right out of my bag, 20 feet away from me. Dec 2nd We are on East Coast time zone, so it is natural for me to wake up at the crack of dawn every day of the trip. Every morning I would see Ken, relaxing with a morning beverage, with a happy look on his face. We got up and hit the buffet, got some drinks and got our pool chairs. The weather has cleared up, no more wind but still a bit colder then past years. We have fun at the pool all day and more and more CC members are showing up, asking where Jesse was so they could get their wrist bands. Jesse strolls down around 2pm and says *Good Morning* ha! We meet more people from the CC board, Thong Queen and hubby, Captain Blue eyes and wife and then a trio with funny accents wearing Boston Red Sux, I mean Sox hats. I break out bottle number two of Limoncello and try to make sure everyone is included. We had fun watching the Belly Flop competition and it was the first time I have EVER seen a woman enter!! Jose and Tigger worked their asses off to make sure our drinks were flowing. I have never had any *black out* moments while drinking but this is where it gets fuzzy. There was a CRAZY LADY with a ton of tattoos and super LONG and FAKE acrylic fingernails. The CC people were all that was left at the pool so we had our own little party going on. Crazy lady came over to me and Cheryl and was giving advice about sticking fingers inside of people LOL she lunged forward and shoved her finger up my Vajaja..... I was so drunk and shocked all I could do was pull away and laugh. The entire time she is whispering all these crazy things I need to do to keep my man happy (all involved long fingers up the ass). Next Crazy Lady dove down underwater and was diving inbetween Cheryl's legs.... the photos Sue took are Epic. Then I remember Jesse walking out of the pool naked and she shoved her finger up his ass LMAOOOOOOOOO the way Scott tells it is sooooo funny!!! Around 5ish we go take our usual nap and we are excited to go to lingerie Night....I have never slept through any of the events, but we laid down and woke up at 10:00 pm...I was sooo mad!! owell next time!! Dec 3rd We had another fun filled day at the Sexy Pool.....not much different from Day 2. I told/warned everyone about my camera. We met two premiere members named Melvin and Robin. They were SOOOOO cool!!! after spending the entire day with them we told them about the upcoming Booze Cruise and invited them to join the fun. It was Melvin's 60th birthday so they brought out a nice cake/bottle of champagne and had someone give him a lap dance. They also won the couples contest which was hilarious! I forgot that me, Cheryl and Robin also went and did the belly dancing class. Travis had brought his portable Beer Pong table and we had the entire resorts attention. I had never played before and it is a lot harder then it looks. I did manage to finally get one in Instead of Beer they were playing with shots LOL. That was a lot of fun and I wish I had some pictures of it! That night was Martini/White night. We decided we would eat and then go change into the white clothes. Our wonderful host Sue was awesome enough to make reservations at the specialty restaurants otherwise we would of never seen the inside of them this trip. Everyday I would say *Well I need to go make reservations* by 10 am the drinks were flowing and I would forget all about it. We had a group of CC members, I would say there was about 20 of us outside the Italian restaurant. They said 10 could come in and the rest of us could sit outside. IT WAS THE BEST DINNER EXPERIENCE EVER!!! HAHAHA!! me, Steve, Jesse, Scott, Leigh Ann, Guy, Travis and Scott, all had the best time outside! The waiter looked like he wanted to either cry or hide from us. Ken and Cheryl had been nice enough to send a bottle of Champagne to our table. Me and Leigh Ann decided to thank them by standing up and raising our shirts and pressing our boobs against the glass...... I wish we could of had a camera for the other peoples faces, that were sitting inside that did not belong to the CC group... LMAO. We had sooo much fun, I cant even explain it!! We discussed the day before and the crazy stuff the long nail lady had done. Someone took a bunch of pictures and then went back to our room to change into our white outfits, and ended up crashing out and sleeping till the next day. Dec 4th Up at 5:00 am for my morning stroll to the pool. I have been doing this all week and I just love the peace and quiet with no one around but me and the guy raking the seaweed on the beach. I get our chairs and go back to get ready for breakfast. We have another fun day at the pool and I have had some fantastic conversations with Krista and Scott we play music trivia and I end up winning. When the girl asks me where I am from I say Cancuncare.com, it was great to have a awesome cheering section! Steve has fun playing volleyball every morning with Fabio. Truly a great guy and I hated hearing that he messed up his foot. That afternoon they decide to have a DJ...... Don't get me wrong, I love dance music.... but he had it up WAY TO LOUD!! we had to scream at each other to have a conversation!! We usually head back to our room around 4pmish.... all I remember is laying back on Krista and talking for hours.... we got interrupted by people not in the group like 100000 times about why we were cuddled up....LOL and next thing I know it is black outside and they are shutting the bar down. Krista you are AWESOME to share secrets with!!! That night is School girl/Glow night. Thanks to Sue (again!) we have a fantastic dinner at the Asian Wok. The food to me is ok, nothing spectacular, but I am glad we had such great dinner partners. We go back up to change and then head for the Sports Bar. We had some great costumes going on and a lot of people (not in the group) were staring at us all night ha-ha! Sue arranges with the hotel to have the Nice Shoes bar to ourselves after the show is over......we were going to play some fun games and have a great time. At the last minute they change their minds and tell her no. I felt really bad because she had worked on the music and games all afternoon. We go and watch the show at Nice Shoes. A comment about Nice Shoes.... they REALLY should of left the design of the bar the way the OLD Nice shoes was. At least way back in the olden days, EVERYONE could sit down with plenty of room. Now if you don't get there early enough, you are bottle necked at the door and have to stand up and you can hardly move. We used to have sooo much fun playing *Anything goes*...sigh. After we were going to go with everyone to Patty Os but we were just worn out so we went back to the room. Being up since 5:00 am everyday really kicks your ass!! It does not matter what time we go to bed, we are always up early every morning. Dec 5th Basically repeat day above...tons of shots, tons of drunken monkeys and tons of fun! I dont remember much about this day except we made sure to turn in early as we had the Boobs Cruise the following day. The Bullet crew finally surfaces and I felt bad that some how we had already sucked down both of my Limoncello bottles... next time!! I was happy that Mel and Robin agreed to join our crazy ass group on the cruise! We did go to the Steak House off the property that night!! We had the entire CC group at one big huge table and the food was fantastic!! Sue had made us reservations (again!) and we had a great time. Dec 6th BOOB CRUISE The cruise director (Sue lol) was down in the morning counting heads and making sure everyone was present. On the way down to meet everyone hubby says *lets place bets to see if Jesse shows up* LOL you see Jesse is famous for sitting up at Patty Os till 5:00 am I told hubby that YES Jesse would be there. We finally get to meet the CC owner Steve!! After all these years we are now face to face! The bus shows up and we go to the harbor. For some reason I thought the cruise was going to be like the Friday night Booze cruise..... floating gently in the Lagoon with no waves. I get sea sick REALLY easy. THANK GOD George had Dramamine with him. He gave me some and some for the ride home. The ride to Isla Mujeres SUCKED. It rained and poured and it was miserable. I was very thankful I had brought my AWESOME Atlanta Braves sweatshirt and kept mostly dry. I was very happy that I spent most of the time watching the horizon so I wouldnt end up nauseated.... THANKS AGAIN GEORGE!!! We got to the snorkle area. I am used to snorkling in the Great Barrier Reef, so this experience was not fun for me. The water was very rough and I only stayed in a few minutes before getting back on the boat. I am positive if the weather would of been better, it would of been a much better experience. We then arrive on our own little island to have lunch. The food was fantastic and the games that went on were spectacular!!! We then re-boarded the boat and then arrived at Isla Mujeres. Steve was to take us to a bar. He turned around and said to me *Do you like Seedy Mexican bars?* LOL he leads us to the biggest hole in the wall bar in Mexico. We had a fantastic time! I was seated next to Steve and we had a really good chat. The locals were looking at us like we had lost our marbles and I could tell they were having a ball watching us. After a few hours it was time to head back to the hotel. THIS is where it got fun! The sun was now shining and the party boat had gone wild. It is very challenging to do the Cupid Shuffle and the Casper Slide while totally drunk, with the boat going up and down. It was the Captains birthday......all I remember at one point was looking over and seeing the Captain drunk and my even drunker husband DRIVING the boat back to Cancun! Leigh Ann I about died laughing when you said *He is a Marine, he knows how to drive a boat* hahaha! The funniest part of the cruise was watching a very drunk Bullet almost capsizing. Now I know why he calls himself Bullet.... the boat went down, he went to the side and shot off the boat like a bullet. My hubby (thank god) grabbed his ankle as he went flying by and stopped him from ending up in the ocean. Thankfully no one ended up falling off the boat. The water was getting very choppy and now I was starting to feel horrible. I had taken the Dramamine but I think all the drinks by passed it. As we got closer to Cancun the water got worse and worse. I went and sat down in the cabin and my wonderful CC friends checked on me to make sure I was ok. We finally got back and we had to wait another 20 minutes to park. I got up and went Topside and one of the crew saw I was ready to jump from the boat, to the dock. He was nice enough to help me crawl over the ropes and off the boat. I felt 100% better when the world stopped moving up and down. We got off the boat and went to wait for the bus. Something happened and the bus was not around. Steve had to get on the phone and call the bus company. During this time I look over my shoulder at the taxi cabs. I notice about 8 drivers standing around. A member of the boat crew, off of our boat (Jose) is now in a full hand to hand combat, bare knuckle fist fight with one of the drivers. I thought I was seeing things. They made UFC fighting look pathetic!! They were slamming each other on the hood of the parked taxis, punching, body slamming and no one tried to break them up. I myself was waiting for someone to pull out a pistol. The scuffle went on for a few minutes. The bus finally shows up. We go back to the hotel, go eat and then stumble back to our room and laugh about how much fun the day was. We always go to Coco Bongos at least twice during our stay. This is my favorite night club and we planned on going that night, but never made it back down stairs to leave. We start the preliminary packing as we leave the next day. December 7th USA has called a day before to let us know that they are picking us up a bit earlier because the big *Global Summit* was in Cancun and a ton of people were expected to be protesting. We ride to the airport and see thousands and thousands of Federales in full riot gear. We arrive at the airport and leave right on time. To all of our friends old and new ...Sue, Jesse, Scott, Tractor Scott, Leigh Ann, The Scuffys, Travis, Lorenzo, Karen, Cheryl, Ken, Guy, Mel, Robin, George, Carl, Shawn, Christa, Marlena, Eddy, Kate, Claudio and everyone else (tons of people, I am sure I am missing some) you all MADE our trip. We had soooooo much fun with all of you and we cant wait to see you all in December!!! Special thanks goes to Sue....thank you for taking photos of us on the boat...and for organizing everything!!! you are the best!! Thank you for the awesome Pink Panther shirt!! Please send me your address so I can send you a Marine...I mean a Marine shirt If I forgot anyone I didnt do it on purpose.....it was a long crazy FUN week!!! Braves Fan Forever, Darc
Darcie, Thanks for your trip report. It took me back to the first week of December. Now I'm counting the days until next year. Somehow I missed the fight. I asked Jimmy if he had seen Jose fighting and he didn't either. I guess at that time we were helping Marlena find a place to sit Bullet down until the bus got there. Hope to see you next year!
Great trip report!! Thanks for sharing. 32 days and counting to our first experience, posts like this one make us that much more excited.
sounds like you had a great trip. I had to giggle when i saw you had taken Limincello. I recently took a trip to Italy where I had my first Limincello. At the airport I purchased a larger bottle to bring home and to share. (I had not ever seen or heard of it in Missouri). When we got into the USA from Italy, we totally forgot to repack the over 3 oz bottles of liquor in our checked luggage...even though our bottles were in TSA bags, you still can not take them on the plane...learned that lesson the hard way. But luckily we had an extra bag in our carry on and I was able to reorganize and check the bottles of liquor. About a week after returning home, I found Limincello at a local liquor store....lol I love the stuff!!
...so horrible for you that you are a Braves fan and have to suffer watching them lose to the phils Seriously though, amazing trip report. Love detailed reports like this one. Go phils! I am a season ticket holder. Can't wait till the spring.
Great Tr! I'm ready to go back. I'm starting to get worried with all these trip reports that I'm coming off as a nudist that drinks to much! :icon_cry::icon_redface::cry:
Hey! At the time the fight broke out, I was standing off to the side in direct view of the taxi stand. The stand was way over in the corner part (to the left) of the parking lot. My husband, Sue, Leigh Ann and Scott, Mel and Robin saw the fight. I remember Leigh Ann and Scott being very close to the action. You guys were up to the right of me and yes you were with Marlena and Eddy. It was great to hang out with you guys in the bar and the boat and cant wait to do it again!!!
