We made it out of Cancun successfully. Overall it was a great trip. The sun got to be a bit much for us Minnesotans, but I can’t argue with the weather. It was all-inclusive and naturally the food got old, so we got adventerous and hit a good local restaurant and then a couple of popular ones.
One day we hit up the “power boat” and snorkeling tour. The power boats were fun to drive through the choppy lagoon. Once we got to the snorkeling our guide had fish food and of course he dropped all over the place early on. I’m not one to be swimming through a school of fish. Once we got through that we saw a turtle and a stingray. The water was a bit cloudy and the underwater scenery wasn’t great. I think it’ll be tough to beat Hawaii’s snorkeling… even though that area is supposed to have great diving and I would assume snorkeling. We never did get to one of the clubs. I think our serious attempt was kaboshed by a day at the activities pool with vodka and sprites.
I believe I’d go back, but there would probably be other places I’d visit first.
It’s official. Destination Angerer/Motylinksi (2) is Cancun, MX. After this arctic cold spell we have been experiencing here, I am ready for some sun. We’ve been debating back and forth over the last couple of months about a cruise, a carribbean destination, or a Mexican destination. We finally settled on Cancun for a week at the end of February. I can’t wait for the beach, the booze, the sun, and maybe some snorkeling… oh and the mule ride.
On a second note, Tina and I attended the AVP Hot Winter Nights tournament at the Target Center last night. It was cool to see the pros play. Some of the names were non-descript if you don’t follow the AVP, but they are still pros. The played King of the Beach style which made it interesting. All of the matches were pretty even which was surprising. I figured there would be at least one pairing either on the Men’s or Women’s side that would dominate.
After talk of all the sun, I am hoping it’s a cure for what I think is a flu or cold bug that I coming down with. I’ve had a sore throat the last two days and I can feel it slowly creeping into my ears, nose, and head. I’m waiting/dreading the morning I wake up with a full blown infection or flu. Unfortunately most of the medicine that helps me is the drowsy kind that makes a guy feel weird. So it’ll have to wait for the weekend.
Speaking of this weekend, it’s the Annual Sno-ball Open. At this point it looks like I will be staying home as it won’t do much for my pending misery. Drinking outdoors while golfing on a large slab of ice tend not to help these situations.
P.S. I finally got an iPhone. It’s been everything I thought it would be and more… next up is a MacBook Pro.
