Home sweet home!

Cozumel was lots of good fun and plenty to do for a week. Some of the highlights were diving to die for, "Mayor of the hot tub", lots of new friends and many new drinks.

This was our first time at an all-inclusive. We booked into the Allegro Cozumel on the south end of the island. The rooms were clean if a little musty (hard to get away from that in the tropical climate) each of the complexes had 8 rooms each, so 4 on top and 4 on the bottom. We were on top and the thatched roof left little to the imagination. Every peep inside or outside of the room was heard............... Including the Mexican roosters - looked more like crows to me - and they have a very high pitched ....song? The resort is recovering from the hurricanes but the only noticeable damage is the palm trees, someone said they had all been replaced but I think some are still original. The beach was absolutely beautiful, lots of palapas and lounge chairs to stay in the shade, the snorkeling from the hotel had only minimal fish life and the occasional jellyfish. They had the usual activities like volleyball on the beach, trivia games around the noisy pool and hot tub, snorkel gear-kayaks-sail boats-windsurfers, self-serve beer on tap etc..

The place we spent a lot of our time was in the huge hot tub that overlooked the beach, sunset was the best. We had a couple of good sunsets but it was a little cloudy, I think all the pasty white Calgary bodies chased away the sun. During one afternoon, in the hot tub of course, Ted joined in on the trivia questions and won the bottle of Tequila! Thus after poking a hole in the top and making several rounds of the hot tub he was dubbed "Mayor of the Hot Tub". Must have been his newly distinguished look! We both had our moments to shine. Mine was after the yard margarita at
Carlos and Charlies. But I am writing this so that's it for the details!

Now I am getting tired writing this so I am sure you are tired of reading, I will add more later. And will figure out how to post pics.
