We started out on an early morning flight leaving DFW at 7am on Thursday July 7th. Of course, we tried to get there 3 hours early for an international flight. I tried to sleep but felt like a kid going to Six Flags for the first time !! TOTAL HOURS SLEPT...0
We arrived at the airport and after we checked in, heard from CNN about the bombings in England. I went outside to catch the infamous "last smoke" before boarding. While standing outside smoking, a local WBAP reporter came up to me and asked if I wanted to be on the radio. Being my shyself I said "sure." We talked about travelling abroad and if we were scared to travel. He probably thought we were heading that way because I was standing out in front of British Airways. I then informed him that the day I refuse to fly was the day when terrorists had won. Ain't gonna happen....
We flew Mexicana (First class) on the way down. I happen not to drink at all in the US but decided what the heck for this trip. We should have been kicked off the flight, we constantly were hitting the stewardess light button for more OJ & Vodka (big mistake). Now I realize why I don't drink.
Our plane arrived safely in Mx & we breazed through customs with our normal green PASSE light. Met our Funjet rep & were headed toward the right van towards Playa. Again, no beer on the van so I went and stocked up on some more cervesa for the ride down (you can almost picture me now).
We arrive at the Reef Coco Beach @ noonish, of course no room available til 3pm. We had our suits on underneath our shorts & made a quick dash to the BAR for more drinks & then off to the beach to cool off. I was not impressed with all the boats parked there but that was okay cuz I knew that going into this trip.I promise later to try & evaluate the resort with more info.
I then proceeded to TRY & play beach volleyball where I fell face first into the afternoon sand. Those (2) six year old girls were pretty tough and probably played for some Olympic team (so it seemed). The whole resort was laughing and with good reason. After a 2 hour nap (sounds better) I woke up to meeting my wifes brother & his girlfriend who just got there. Cannot remember much after that on Day 1. Total hours slept ??
Day 2- We head down to the beach where we strolled down pass the webcam to the new dock & Porto Real resorts. Damn, that new Gran
PR resort looks really nice !! We also passed a very liberal looking place that had wood & white sheets and beds (started with a "M") I invited my wife for a quickie on the bed who then slapped me (okay, I made that part up but sounded good). Spent the rest of the day on boogie boards & my $1.99 Walmart float.
Tried to stay sober much of the day beacause we were heading into Playa for the ****** peep-meet. I spent most of my time searching for Neraks BEADS that people were suppose to be wearing. Hacked off the wife who thought I was avoiding her by spending all night searching.I did meet the (2) Trish's (hello, very nice to meet you) who seemed to be rather nice. Did a little dancing & drinking and watched the flame dancers that was really cool. Loaded up on some fine cigars and headed back to the resort. Stayed up late AGAIN.
Total hours slept....3 maybe
