In the 10 years of going to TTR, I don't recall any 1st days! But I blame it on my age! And I'm telling the truth! LOL
Ya know what they say Al, The first two things to go are the memory and.........er..........I forget!artytime: George
I always start off my day with coffee and a 2 liter water bottle.....I always eat breakfast and lunch...and at lunch I always drink a few glasses of water before heading back out...My husband always takes a nap after lunch but I am not a napper......I drink water while I shower and get ready for dinner than I am good to go for the night......Key is mixing water in whenever possible even if it is paired with a cocktail at least it is in ya!!!!!! and it wont be the only thing
Gatorade... every morning.. gets the electrolytes back in order. Works wonders... I have seen some great first day stories of the years but only came close once. We were sitting in the hot tubs in the sexy pool, it was slow and Abiel was delivering drinks on his roller blades. Was sit there with two other couples. We sat there all afternoon just talking and never standing up because Abiel was there with a new round of mudslides before we finished the first. Well along about 5 PM we all decided it was time to go up and get ready for dinner. We tried to stand up and all of us sat back down, The world had just took a quick spin around something! We looked at each other and started laughing... Chris wouldn't let me sit down on the bed before I got in the shower because she knew I'd never get back up. Made it through dinner and partied the rest of the night. Jamie
So the sad story of my last first day at Temptation begins on the flight to Cancun. I take a pill to sleep and I'm out before takeoff. For some unGodly reason, the wife wakes me up 1 1/2 hours into the flight and asks if I want to eat anything (c'mon man). After downing the lunch, I'm wide awake. I need another pill. In a few minutes, I'm back in never never land. I wake up for the landing announcement, we breeze thru customs, check in and in no time I'm downing margaritas in the hot tub in the sexy pool. All of a sudden, nature calls. I go to get out of the pool and promptly fall down. I was told I got an ovation. I proceeded to walk into the Ladies room. One of the guys we were talking with came in and got me out of there. I remember being led into the men's room. That's when the lights went out. My wife had 2 guys carry me back to the room and dump me on the bed. I opened my eyes around 8 o'clock muttered something about "How did I get here" and promptly fell back asleep. I woke up at 7AM the next morning, she starts yelling at me for drinking too much. I had 3 margies! I had this big welt on my foot. Apparently I kicked the concrete stairs while these 2 guys were trying to carry me. All day, people were asking me if I was all right. Later we're sitting in the pool talking to some new friends and one of the ladies tells my wife that she took a pill, then had a drink and fell out of a chair at a business meeting. My wife looks at me and says "I gave you 2 diffferent pills, I could have killed you'. Next time, she won't wake me up!
We have a 12hr 40min flight with free drinks, a six hour time difference to stretch the day out. Oh dear, I can feel the first day curse approaching rapidly.
If you arrive drunk you don't usually fall prey to the first day curse... Start drinking when you get up to leave for your trip and you'll be fine. *LOL*
