First Night In Playa

On our first night in Playa del Carmen, the six of us decided to go to the resort's tapas restaurant for dinner. We ordered at least three rounds of tapas for the table and a couple bottles of champagne (I don't think I can ever travel non-all-inclusive again). After that, we decided we were all still hungry so we headed over to Spice, a buffet-style restaurant, where we had second dinner (fourth, really, if you count the three rounds of tapas separately) and a lot of wine all around. After Spice, we went to the hotel lobby bar where we claimed a bed all our own and drank more wine until what we thought were the wee hours of the morning (turns out it was only about 11:30pm when we all passed out).

At one point, we thought we had lost Eric and Brent, but it turned out they were stuck up at the bar, seemingly entranced by the Aztec show:

It was a great start to an amazing vacation!

Looks like you are having such an amazing time!

And as to where have I been, I moved from my old blog and didn't leave a forwarding post because I had been getting some really weird contacts at Sawdust and Diamonds...super strange email. I figure it's for the best.
