This seems like as good a time as any to try to revive the blog. I pretty much stopped after Arthur died. Facebook didn't help either.

So. Vacation.

This resort is like a cruise ship on dry land. Everything you need is here. The great advantage is that you don't feel cooped up and you can go out and experience night life. One of the big disadvantages I see in cruises is that you have a limited time on shore and really not a lot of flexibility.

Tonight we are planning to go into Playa del Carmen and shop and see a show. Yesterday was spent eating or sitting by the pool. Haven't gotten burnt, though I was a bit tender on the shoulders. I think I've browned a little.

Today is overcast and looks like rain. Quite warm and very humid. I don't really have much on the agenda till we go into town this afternoon. Tomorrow I get up early and take a bus tour to Chichen Itza. It's an all day excursion, being about a four hour drive there. We make a shopping stop in a town on the way, spend about 4 hours at the ruins, and then stop for a swim at a cenote. This I believe is an underground river. We will be back here around 7.

Not much else to relate at the moment. Its hard to write a lot about being lazy.
