Trip report: Our liquid/liquor adventure at the IB* Grand

[actran]

Y'all are so nice, thanks to everyone for all the compliments/comments.
No installation tonight. I've been at the Colorado State Democratic Convention all day. Had to get up a four freakin' forty-five this morning to get the bus down to Colorado Springs. And I am sooooo not a morning person
Didn't get home until about 8pm. My brain is fried!

I am really enjoying writing this TR and so glad so many of you are enjoying it too. I just love Playa and reliving it.

God - I meant "installment" - goes to show how tired I was last night.

We didn't walk that far. But over on "my beach board" Tami visited it recently and has a link to quite a few pics. Looks really nice. Maroma beach is so pretty.

This is definitely a non-sequitur

And I hate to be the one to break it to you, but he died a couple years ago. And even if he was alive, he'd already served two terms.

I would love to see the recent photos of Secrets -- do you have a link to the pictures?

I'm not really savvy enough to do a link, but go to mybeachboards [dot]com, then go to Bueno Trip Reports and then to "Our Valentin and Site Inspection Pics" - it's a little down the page. She has the link and the password.

Great report...beautiful couple! Can't wait to get back to Mexico too!

Must you post an insulting comment after every praise????? People like you, I swear - you just can't be satisfied, can you?











I love the pictures! It brought back such good memories! Why'd you hold out on the other board? Do we not deserve the pretty people?

You had me for a minute on this one.
I was thinking, who'd I offend this time?
(Sorry everyone else - on the iberostar-board another member really blasted me because I made some complaints about the Grand and he thought it was perfect and ). All my forum buddies came to my defense though

Suzanne - I "held out" because I don't know how to post pictures over there. I'm not even sure you can with your report. I told everyone about my day to day report was over here though, so no one need miss out

I seriously think talking to wall would have been more productive though!

You can over there, but I don't think the board could handle too many at a time.

I don't check this board too often, so I was pleasantly surprised to see your report with pictures over here. Your first report on the Grand was one of the main reasons I chose it for our last vacation.

I'm looking forward to the Lindo now!

Thanks for a great report, but your editorial signage is boring. When your Obama raises your taxes, unfortunately your lifestyle may change..I was trying to be funny earlier. I have worked in politics for 35 years, four national conventions now, but I don't, and I may be the only poster, believe that political advertisements or endorsements belong in this blog. This blog is about fun and travel, not politics.... I do not speak for the owners.

1. I'm in love with her 'editorial signage'.
2. Yeah....raised taxes....I secretly wish that Bush could stay in office forever....like a dream come true...
3. I'm sorry - why are you qualified to judge what anyone's lifestyle may be?
4. Try again.
5. It seems to me as if you're the only one making it NOT about fun and travel.

I feel like I've walked into the twilight zone.

Andrea, I think you should just stay home from now on. Just send me your vacation budget and I'll make sure it's well spent. I promise I will not post any public trip reports, but that I will give you regular updates and emailed photos while I'm out enjoying myself. I think you'll save yourself a lot of grief this way.

I promise I'll spend it wisely. As a matter of fact, my final trip installment is due in September for the Grand. Your cooperation will help not only you out, but me.

It's called "freedom of speech", it's mentioned in the Constitution, you might want to check it.
