Yesterday I mentioned waking up at like 3:30 am Cancun time. I did manage to get back to sleep at around 5:30 for about 2 more hours.
When we got up we went out onto the balcony and looked at the ocean. It was so relaxing. There were people swimming already and it was not even 8 am yet. I looked around and saw that the Palace had raked the sand in one spot and written their name in the sand.
There were people out and about already. Each has their own idea of vacation I guess
Kim and I went to our scheduled – buy your membership with us – tour at 9:00. We were introduced to a nice gentleman named Jorge. He was peppy and energetic. He took us to breakfast and then on a tour of the Cancun Palace. He showed us a model the newest one that is being built.
He then took us to a room where there were a crapload of people sitting and discussing their purchase options. It was loud and busy in there.
He showed us our options and we declined. He had a young lady come over who showed us some more and we declined.
One more lady came to speak with us who showed us a very decent offer and again, we declined.
We are enjoying ourselves here, but I am not sure I wish to commit to a membership yet. Someday perhaps becuase the resorts are worldwide and I would love to go to England soon.
So after our tour, we came back to the Sun Palace to find our room had been cleaned and our mini bar had been restocked with more Coke. BTW there are no diet sodas down here. They call them ‘light’ so in our minbar, there are both Pepsi Light and Coke Light. LOL. I promised a photo of our room yesterday. Here is our bed, our sink, and the lovely towel swan that was on our dresser when we returned.
We had lunch sent to our room. It was nice.
Finally, Kim talked me into going to the beach. If you know me, you know that the beach and the ocean are not really why I came down here. I don’t normally like either one. The sand was so soft and the water was a heck of a lot warmer than I ever remember it being in New England – even on the hottest day of summer.
Next thing you know I am in the ocean laughing and actually having fun. Thanks Kim 
We laid on the lounges for a bit and watched people. If I would have had our camera, this post would have become rated PG-17. Have you even noticed that you rarely see people wearing thongs or speedos that actually should be? We saw a lady in a thong that probably I was sure was going to give me nightmares. Then was the 70 year old man in a speedo that I pointed out to Kim.
Ok I digress…
After the beach, we came back to the room and got showers and went downstairs to do some shopping. We found some really nice items for our family.
After we shopped we came back and got dressed for dinner.
We had dinner outside on the terrace at the Oriental Lounge. It was wonderful until the rain came. It did not last long, but they moved us over to the bar to have our meal.
After dinner, we went to the lobby bar and sat out on the dek listening to the waves. It was nice. We met two couples from Pittsburgh. I asked them where they were from because they were all wearing Steeler shirts. It was kinda neat meeting people from our area all the way down here. LOL.
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We went back to our room sat on the balcony for a few minutes and retired for the evening.
We have some spa time planned for this morning and my father and his wife will be here around 2:30.
More tomorrow.
