Hola from ElvisLand

Hi ya'll ... first post .. but have snuck many a peek at advice for our trip to "Paradise"!
Got back from a wonderful trip to Playa on the 26th of May ... been playing catch up at work ... finally a little time to say thanks for LOTS of tips and advice. We stayed at Grand Coco Bay. My better half and I are Mid 50's and had a real tough time leaving Paradise!

Welcome, Grizz!!!

Glad you had a good time in Playa!!

What did you think about the resort?? We're staying there for the first time at the end of July. Any hints or suggestions you'd care to offer??

You HATE surprises, don't you? :p





(Actually, I'm only being jealous here... )

Got a report and some pics coming up?

TeeZet: "Hi!! Welcome, Grizz! OK... now that that's over with, we want ALL the dirty details of your recent trip to Playa!!!"

I'm sure you've read as many reviews as I have on GCB .. so there really were no great surprises ...

I will say that my worst (or better??) half and I are both 'holics of some sort or another. She's a dietcokeaholic and I'm a coffeeholic in the early mornings.
There's no coffemaker in the room and the fridge is stocked with four sodas ... one diet coke and 3 orange drinks ... so our FIRST trip into Playa was to Mega to stock up on caffiene! Next time I'll bring a coffeemaker ....nothing worse fro me than waking up at 5:30AM and having to wait an hour for my first cup of coffee!
More to come on My trip Report ... seems like I'm getting pressured .... maybe enough pressure to take another vacation sooner!!

Thanks for the welcome TeeZet ...

Trip report and Pics coming soon ...

We tried our best to rid Playa of that devastating "water" they call Tequilla and Corona .... I don't think we succeeded ... but we're still paying for it!

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION: Where does David go to fetch my morning coffeeeeeeeeee?????????? I don't get beautiful and fun-to-be-around until I've had my morning coffeeeeeeeeeee.

Our joke since our first trip together is that he's my "Cabin Boy", a title he earned from fetching morning coffee at our first AI on Cozumel in 2000, so knowing this information will definitely be appreciated, Grizz!!

Fortunately you didn't drown in that watery stuff, and that you still live to tell to tell about it here...

We stayed there too. I brought my own coffee pot and coffee, just a smaller perculator. Works perfect and doesn't take up much room in your suitcase.
