The Lamberts have returned, well half of us have. The boys left last Saturday for El Paso to spend a week with my grandmothers, their great-grandmothers (Amazing! I know). The trip started off a bit rocky with CRYPTO virus consuming their life, but it sounds like it was a blast. We pick them up this afternoon so I am sure I will need to make additions to this blog. More to come on them...
Bill and I left Sunday morning bright and early, 6:00am, for Cancun/Play del Carmen, Mexico. Before leaving, however we stayed at the Grand Hyatt Hotel that is connected to the new international terminal at DFW. WOW! It is five star all the way! Our room was upgraded for our anniversary, it was awesome! Unfortunately we could not stay and enjoy the view. We were off to see the Caribbean Sea. We walked through security at 4:15 am Sunday morning. Ouch! Isn't it funny how time does not matter when you are leaving for vacation?? Just in case you were wondering the stores in this terminal open at 5 am so no real reason to get there before that. Ha! So off we went!
As we arrived at our hotel we were in awe! The Royal in Playa del Carmen is more than amazing it is exquisite. We were greeted by the friendliest people who by the way all spoke English.
Sidebar on that...why is it that I saw more Spanish billboards driving through Garland, Texas than I did driving in Mexico?? AND Why do the people in Mexico strive to speak English and we change things here to meet the need of the Spanish speakers?? (soapbox moment) Back to the trip!
We were greeted by our own personal concierge who showed us around and gave us the keys to our room. Again beautiful, marble floors, huge bed with lots of pillows, a jacuzzi in our room, and the list goes on! The pictures will tell the rest of the story.
Bill and I met some great people, most from Canada, and ate some very tasty food. Ok, too much of the latter. Every meal was gourmet, beautifully presented and tasted great. We had caviar, escargot, foire goir (sp?), lobster bisque (more than once), steak, crab, sushi, and guacamole at every meal even breakfast. It was heaven! Right up until Wednesday.
Wednesday night Bill started feel ill and by Thursday I was calling his dad to figure out what prescription strength drugs I could buy at the pharmacia to help him. He could barely move his head and felt like an alien was growing inside is belly. It was terrible! We transferred to the same resort in Cancun to be closer to the airport on Friday morning. Bill slept the remainder of the day and night and I did a little shopping. I hope the pictures will tell the story of how much fun we had until Wednesday.
More to come on the vacations and illnesses...

okay, I can't seem to view the photos - the internet connection here at the Beachcomber is a little slow, but I'm glad you are home and had a good time (most of the time). We are currently awaiting the arrival of Harry and Agnes and wish you could come on down too. But, I'm sure you're a little busy today. See you when we get back.
I can't seem to see the pictures either...it just keeps saying "loading" but my blog is doing the same thing. Anyway, glad that you had fun for the first part. You guys really all need to get better all at once! I'm sorry you have all been so sick. Hope everyone is better now.
