Cozumel

Sandy beaches -blue skies - aquamarine water - salty sea air - we must be in Cozumel!

We landed in Cozumel with mixed emotions - excited and happy to be there - disappointed knowing that Patty, Leonard, Jim and Brenda wouldn't be arriving till the next day and even MORE disappointed, knowing Teri and Jay weren't getting to come at all!

Customs was a breeze since there were only about 30 of us on the plane - and of course just doing the carry-on meant no wait for luggage, not that it would have taken very long anyway! For once, we got the green light, not the red so we walked through the doors and immediately were attacked by the time share people! I was very firm with the guy, telling him we were meeting Olympus outside for our ride and he informed me the Olympus booth was right around the corner - and I believed him! After listening to the guy talk about everything to do on the island for about 10 minutes, I was starting to get suspicious - and when he started telling us what good DEALS he could get us, I knew!! I looked at Glenn and said, "We're out of here - NOW!!!" And we walked out into the bright sunshine, caught our ride and were delivered to the Wyndam Aura - our home away from home for the next 4 nights!

Check-in was an easy process and we were brought a glass of wine to drink during the process and then we were whisked to our room. WOW - what a room - the nicest we've ever stayed in! Not only was the balcony a great place with its view of the pool and the beach, but the steps leading up to the rooftop with our personal laptop pool proved to be the ULTIMATE view!!

We unpacked quickly and headed down to the outdoor bar and grill to get a drink and some food - breakfast seemed like a long time ago! But before we even got the quesidilla 1/2 way eaten, the rain came - it blew almost sideways with the heavy wind but we weren't discouraged - how can you be unhappy in Mexico?

We toured the grounds, tried to get Glenn's phone to work (since we had purchased the extra Mexico coverage - thanks to Jessi, we did get it to work!) and before we knew it, it was time to eat dinner! Glenn had to make a quick trip BACK to the room as dinner is long pants only and he forgot and wore his shorts! After our 4 course meal, all we wanted was some sleep! And a comfortable bed, makes for a great night's sleep! To be continued.........
