Hello from Snowbound Edmonton

Hi all
Finally convinced my mainman to go on a trip with me and we are going to be in playa at the royal April 6th - but just for 7 days.
Can't wait. Hate winter - don't really know why I live in Alberta - guess its cause I was born here Can't wait till I get down there. Have heard such fantastic things about Playa. Any advice anyone can give me about anything is appreciated.
Was a little worried about staying at the Royal and being surrounded by Snotty people but from what I've read its a great place full of people from all walks of life.. We are pretty casual people but I couldn't resist all the extra's the Royal offers. We love to meet new people, and are definatly looking forward to this. I hope that this trips gives my fella the travel bug as I have been stuck here for too long (Havn't been anywhere hot since Hawaii in 80)
If anyone else is going to be down there at the same time - would love to hear from you.

Hola! Welcome fellow Edmontonian (was born there), made the jump to BC (way better weather)... have a great trip. The Royal looks very nice - it is really central - right on Constitutentes. You'll have lots of dining alternatives if you so wish. Enjoy!

You are going to love the Royal! The only problem is the next trip - not many other resorts can compare!
Welcome and enjoy!
