For some odd reason, Sam and I had a room in a completely different building than everyone else. Everyone else had an ocean view room which gave them a sunrise view, while we had a view over the lagoon which gave us a sunset view. Personally, I think I would take a sunset view compared to a sunrise, because that means I don't have to either stay up all night or get up really early- neither of those two things are for me.
Throughout the week our hotel's lobby became a stage/ theater for these different performances they put on.
The shows are kind of like Cirque Du Soleil meets the history of Mexico.
After the show, we were off to a "Brazilian style" restaurant which is pretty much a meat buffet that comes to you. MMM...meat...
By the end of dinner everyone was a little "meat" drunk which lead to us to calling it a early night. Plus, I wanted to be well rested because we were going off the resort the next morning to go on a catamaran cruise.
The catamaran was at an extra cost. However, it was nice to get off the resort for one day. Additionally, this catamaran trip was an all day (7 hour) event which included:
Snorkeling. However, the water was really rough so it wasn't as much fun as it could have been. But the important thing is that everyone survived.
A trip to an island (I have no clue which one) for some shopping. We didn't buy any souvenirs but that is very typical of me.
There was some on board entertainment!
Many free drinks! See picture below- enough said!
A trip to a private island for lunch. The food was ok, nothing special but I'm not complaining being that it was included.
And there was "parasailing". It looked a little sketchy, so I was kind of surprised how many people did it including Sam- who by the way doesn't like heights. Go figure.
While I keep my butt on the boat, I became the designated sunglasses holder. So I had mine on my face, Casey's on my head, and Sam's hanging off my top...
Needless to say, this is probably the last picture of Sam's sunglasses before they met the bottom of the ocean. Opps- my bad... they slipped right off my top and right into the water. It was one of those slow motion moments because Sam had just brought them less than 24 hours before they met their vacation demise.
After the we got off the boat, we headed back to the resort. We were only 1000 yards from my bed that was calling my name- when for some reason we made a pit stop at a little dive restaurant/ bar that was across the street from our resort. Why? Because Joel said so, and that he was paying... Ok, why not?!? This ended up being a poor choice. Whatever- we eat, we drank, we made it back to the resort, but by the time we were suppose to meet everyone else for dinner... I cashed in my "fun chips" and took a much needed nap through dinner.
Even though I missed dinner, I'm proud to say I "napped and rallied" so I could "rage" with Casey, and get our dance on. Too bad it we were the only ones dancing, but we made the most out it. I mean it's Tuesday night... so it's best night to "rage" right ?!?
