THE AWARDS NIGHT

My new friends from Indiana.  Networking and making new friends makes it all worthwhile.

The Hawaii winners, less Pattie.

IK KIL

This Cenote (underground pool) was 5 minutes from the Mayan pryamid.  It was so beautiful and butterflies were everywhere.

LOVE THE GAME

I just love this game even when I play bad.

THE ROAD TO CHITCHEN ITZA

 On our way to Chitchen Itza, we ran into car trouble.  Thank goodness for the Green Angles.

LA PARRILLA (the Grill)

We went to this awesome restaurant called La Parrilla in downtown Cancun.

Steak, Lobster, Chicken and Shrimp.  What a feast.

 This guy was amazing carrying the Margaritas on his head.

Dancing with the Mariachi band.

MERCADO 28

We rode the bus into downtown Cancun to do some shopping.  Didn't buy anything there but it was interesting to see all the vendors at the flea market.

BEACH OLYMPICS

We had a beach olympics and my team 19, Echar Pa'lante, beat out 17 other teams to come in second place.  Here is the second place team. We had to do the Margarita Relay, Mexican Hat Relay, Balloon Toss, Charro Dressing, Cornhole and Sandcastle building.

THE WELCOME RECEPTION

The Welcome Reception was at the beach.  Great food and music.  I even danced a lot of cumbia and people started to follow along, just like a Zumba class.

THE JW MARRIOTT CANCUN

What  a beautiful resort.

Loved the spa.

ISLA MUJERES

Took a ferry to the Isla Mujeres for lunch.  It means the Island of Women.

FINALLY IN CANCUN, MEXICO

We finally made it to Cancun, Mexico.  It is hot and sooo humid.  That said, after 15 hours of travel time, it's nice to be here. 

9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL

 Went to see 9 to 5 the Musical at Diamond Head Theater,  It was funny and the cast was great.  I recommend seeing this musical.  I just wish the live orchestra didn't over power the singers.

CELEBRATING DAD'S 79TH BIRTHDAY

 We went to Five Star International Buffet to celebrate my dad's 79th birthday.  My sister, Masayo, flew in from Chicago.

GRILL MASTER

When it comes to grilling, Charles is the master.  Don't touch the grill, poke the fire or flip the steaks.  Must be a guy thing.
