MJ and I just got back. Although occupancy was down when we arrived, as reported already, it did pick up towards the end. By the time we left, the pool area was full and the beach (which is lots bigger with palm trees...great touch) was getting many visiters. Also as reported...there is absolutely nothing to fear from the over reported swine flu. Although when we arrived they did check our temperatures there was never any reason to think ANY flu was around to be afraid of. jack & Edie, Steve & Karen, Greg & Tina, Chuck & Sue, Bob & Sheila and MJ & I ventured to Outback the night of the American Idol show and I talked with many locals who also said that the flu was never an issue at cancun and it really hurt occupany...many large hotels were idle and dark this week. The Greeter Lady also said that although the previous week saw about a 20% rate in Cancun it had really started to ramp up again and by the time we left today (Sat 23rd) it was really starting to POP again. They opened the main buffet and although the Specialty restaurants were always nice, we were anxious and happy to get back to those made to order omelets The shows are really good at the resort and our plans were to limit our "away from resort" time anyway. We thought the new crew did a fantastic job. Yes, Chino and Lalo are gone as was Taryn...and we miss them, Christian (Alfie), Charlie Charlie, and even little Princess Danielle were lots of fun, and the regulars, Jose, Alex with the music (and Rafa) and many others were much more than adequate...they kept us laughing and hopping. A bi Thank you to Veronica who patrols the pool area with drinks and she was always around with them with a smile. She worked very hard at helping us play hard. :lotsofmichaelf: We met lots of old friends and many new ones...many many names, and lots are still there.. (Rock on, Guys). Although MJ and I won at Horshoes the first and last days, we werent able to get another shirt...good competition...between Steve and Tina, Jamie and Mike, and lots of others...we always tried to hit our A game just for a chance to win. I'm trying to think of the many highlights of our week (the yacht for one...WOW) but I will have to check the camera to help my alcohol induced stupidity.. :shock: Ok, this is long but in a nutshell...we missed those who could not make it this year but had a blast with those who did...lots of people who know how to party...and even Mama got to go to Cancun one last time...,thanks to Lucy and Terry... So fear not the flu of the swine and pack to party...Temptation Rocks and you people know how to help them... Thanks for the ride...and we miss you all already.

Scott & MJ, we had a great time seeing and partying with you guys again--It had been way too long and I guess I really let loose the first day but from what they tell me I had a great time--Our time with you guys was short as you got there before us and left before we did so only six days but next year we will coordinate our days better--we had a great time on our yacht trip but looks like you guys did too--woohooo :bootyshake: :clap: artytime: :daveandmo:
