Beach Bums

It is now Jan 4th and we have done nothing for the past few days except hang out on the beach and lay by the pool. After our 1 night of ick, we decided we really needed to find somewhere else to stay. We all got up in search of our new home and started walking down the beach. It was unbearably hot and humid and Jade had a bit of an upset tummy. Because of this, we had to make a fast exit to the nearest bathroom. Jason, Lena and Reed kept on walking down the beach and Jade and I were going to catch up with them.

Well, 45 minutes into our search for Jason we decided to ask someone on the beach if they knew where Dos Mundos (the hotel we were looking for) was. He pointed way back to where we had come from! Yikes. Sure enough, I saw Jason at a very lovely looking hotel ordering a fruit drink. By the time Jade & I met up with them, Jade was quite ill. The good news was that they had a room available and Jason had already booked it, phew!

The rooms are actually individual casitas with 2 king beds and 1 twin, a huge shower with a rain showerhead, and a thatched roof 20 feet above us. Very nice indeed. Oh, there are also 2 swimming pools and of course the ocean is just steps away. The grounds are also very lovely with grass and palm trees everywhere.

It is because of this that we have stayed for 4 nights. The service is actually terrible and the food has made us all quite ill, but the place is nice to look at and there are worse places to feel yukky.

Anyhoo, we are all off to the beach right now to light off the rest of the fireworks. Reed is actually beating Lena over the head with a firecracker at the moment because she accidentally bumped him.

So, if you don't hear from us in a week or so, you will know that the fireworks went horribly wrong.

Happy New Year and All the Best for 2008!!
