So many others have already posted reports on this same week, and I really don't have too much more to add. Here are a few highlights and fel free to ask me anything specific if you'd like. The room updates are very nice. We did not have a bathroom door, but did have the swinging shower door that doubled as a door to the toilet area. This did not seem like a big deal, until Ryan battled a stomach bug for 3 days. At that point a bathroom door would have been nice. All of the resort updates are great. Margaritta's for lunch and late night snacks is a wonderful addition. Ryan participated in horseshoes and basketball. His basketball team lost, but they had some awesome cheerleaders! I won the sex trivia contest. I told Lalo I would when he handed me the pencil and paper!! Steve's booze cruise was fun. The island is beautiful and the ride back was a crazy blast! Ryan, Jerry, and Larry toured the firehouse, as they are all on our local department. Even with a language barrier they thought it was really interesting. We traveled with our good friends Jerry & Julie, and Heather & Larry. Thanks for another great trip guys!! We also had our friends Deb & Tom from Ohio meet us down there a couple days later. We met them at Temptations last year and have become very good friends, even traveled out to see them this past summer. It was great to spend time with them again. We met SO MANY fantastic people from here on the board. What a crazy group of people!! You all made this such a memorable trip!! I am still waiting to see that group photo Roy! I am attempting to post a link to our pictures. Let's see if it works: http://community.webshots.com/user/Bethy03467
Thanks for the trip report and the pics. So how did a Cancun Fire Department compare to a typical U.S. fire department? Nick and Renee
Fun! Good pictures too - I thought your unintentional self-portrait in photo number nine was humorous - good thing you had your swimsuit on! Stew
Great trip report Bethy, and great cheering from all the ladies during the basketball competition. I looked through your pictures and they looked great, I seen Jimmy in one of them, I wonder if he has wandered over there yet. Have you decided on next year yet?,,Did you prefer April over March, I think we did, less kids taking pictures and the water was that much warmer this year. Great seeing you guys again, and again, didn't get to say bye although Barb did see Ryan in the Buffet the morning we left. Take care
I believe Jimmy and Brian are both in the shots of the guys trying to get their trunks from the ocean. Of course you cannot see anything! :?
great pics, thanks for sharing, needed our fix before we go, we have been in march and april, we also found the water to be warmer in april, glad you had a great time, cant wait to see the changes.
I'll have to ask Ryan what he thought about that. Their turn out gear looked pretty old and worn. We were saying how we wished we'd have known that, before our local dept. got all new. Maybe they could have worked out a way to donate it to the Cancun dept. I do know this, Ryan looked like a giant. The fireman that was trying to show them around easily fit under his arm pit! Jerry is a pretty short guy himself, and Ryan said "I think Jerry would like to transfer down here. He'd be the tallest guy on this dept!"
