Cancun Sunday September 27th

We arrived in Cancun yesterday after flying first class on Delta. We've never had that experience before, it was so awesome! I had two pillows, a blankie and watched two movies I've been waiting to see. Russ, Elena's husband works for Delta so we were lucky enough to fly on buddy passes. :)

We got in at about 2:00 P.M. local time and headed straight to our resort, the Coral Mar on the Lagoon side. I was a little skeptical about this place before we got here, based on the reviews from tripadvisor.com and after we had stayed only in 4 star all inclusive resorts every other time we've been to Mexico. I have to say it is SO wonderful! It's off season here, so our group (Russ, Elena, Jerica, Zack, and Jared) and two other guests are the only ones in this whole resort. There is a small pool, a pool table and Luis who cooks for us in the restaurant.


Our condo has one bedroom with a kitchen, living room and a balcony off the bedroom.

Sunday we all went to the hotel zone. Russ and Jared took off to the sports bar at the Marriott to watch the football games (lame!) and Jeff, Jerica, Elena and I went to get some lunch at Carlos and Charlie's. It was an environment kinda like Joe's Crab Shack. The drinks were HUGE and EXPENSIVE!! They cost more than the damn meal!



After lunch we taxi'd down to the Marriott and met up with the other guys, then went down to the beach.



After that, we decided to head to the Walmart to get some groceries for the week. I noticed that unlike American Walmarts, they do not have frozen meals. You have to make everything from scratch. They had their meat and fish out in the open and you were supposed to just pick up what you wanted and throw it in a bag. It wasn't refrigerated and there were flies landing on it. Jeff and I decided to pass on that stuff. We're definitely not here to get sick or contract some kind of parasite.
