Day One

On the first day... all is well. On the plane, slight delay for de icing then south we go. Even though we left 20 minutes late, we picked up time with a tail wind... we also picked up some major turbulence... in fact one of the bumpiest rides any of us can remember. But a nice landing in Mazanillo ( and you know what they say, any landing is a good landing).  

Immigration went very well, and through customs and on the bus to the Resort. Major problem, our rooms aren't ready! What shall we do!... so, we had to put on our trunks and lay by the pool, and go for a dip or two, a cerveza or two, some snacks and we managed to wile away the hours just fine. 

Some have been here before, and it was a breeze getting back into Vacation mode, others, used their time to walk around the property and get familiar with the lay of the land. 

All in all, a great, but long first day.... and we look forward to a fabulous week here at the  beautiful Barcelo Karmina Palace....

Oh, weather... yes, we left behind some terrific January temps in Saskatchewan, but when the plane doors open, and the warm Pacific air rushes in, you remember very quickly, that we are very fortunate to be spending time in Paradise...

Well, must go... Hector is making us a Martini, and then off to Supper... Brazilian, we think.... Weight Watchers here we come!
