Fall trip to Cancun

We just got a new computer last month and it had some windows 7 problems that the tech-support lady in India couldn't solve in two and a half hours on the phone, but we have finally got most of the kinks worked out and are ready for another blog post.

Last week we went back to Cancun where our friends have a time share and have taken us down a couple of times.
Here we are with the the Thomas's.




This is Glen and Kim Overton, and Paul and Deon Coon. They are super people and really fun to play with.

We stayed at this cool place called Moon Palace. It is a self-contained resort with it's own mile of beach, 2500 rooms, about 12 restaurants, Spa's, a nice Gym, 8 or 10 interconnecting swimming pools and a fabulous 27-hole golf course.

It is "all-inclusive", so when you check in they put this bracelet on you and that allows you to eat and golf and go to the shows and everything else as much as you want.


Most of our time was spent on the golf course which was very challenging with some interesting hazards, including crocodiles!




This is a coati, a friendly racoon type of critter. They come out by the dozens in the evening. There were also lots of kinds of birds and lizards.

Here are 2 kinds of wildlife- a lizard and Sylvia. (you'd better believe it!)














Sylvia played well but was glad that she had brought plenty of balls.




In the distance you can see the jungle that this course was carved out of. It is so thick that if you are off the fairway, you may as well be in the water.
The resort has a guard house on the entry road, and other than that doesn't even need fences, because no intruder could possibly get through that jungle. We never saw a place where you could walk more than 5 feet into it!








This scene was fun, but for endurance races I think that I will stick with Lacy!
