Cancun Day 1

Well here we go!
Nicole and I had arrived in Cancun about 630 the night before. After plodding through customs and the airport (which was RIPE with commentary on people's travel habits and outfits) and making it onto the Apple shuttle it was 730. We had to get to the hotel and checked in, which took us to 830, and by then we were willing to eat almost anything. We grabbed a questionable dinner where I inadvertently ate seafood (which I really don't like). There was also this guy at the restaurant that had a stuffed dog with a rope leash on it. This guy ordered the dog drinks and prepared him plates of food. It.was.weird. He would also randomly burst out into song.
We wandered the pool/beach area breathing in the sea air and consuming a free beverage or two, then we were so tired we just went to bed.

Sunday:
For some reason we couldn't sleep in. So by 730 we were reluctantly awake and ready to do something. So we got up, dressed, and wandered downstairs to a buffet breakfast, after we booked some tours with our Apple Vacation rep. Then, finally, it was time to hit the beach!
So warm and sunny. Plus the free drinks helped to cool us down. We got to swim in the ocean which was crazy blue, and people watching was simultaneously hilarious and scary.
After what seemed like HOURS we wandered over to another buffet for lunch. After lunch we decided to head upstairs and change to maybe wander down the strip and ship some. When we got to the room we realized it was only 1:30! WHAT?!
We changed, got on the bus and went down to the flea markets and just wandered in and out of stores and markets looking at everything. Again, after what seemed like HOURS we decided to head back to the hotel. When we arrived back at the hotel it was 4:30! How the hell was it only 430?

We decided to nap and watch some of the few English channels available and just wait for dinner time. Needless to say, we felt really old.
So dinner was good, and the drinks were awesome. We decided to hang out in the Lobby Bar and watch the college students that were intent on getting alcohol poisoning their first night. We had noticed posters advertising the Mr. Barcelo (the name of our hotel) contest that night in the reception room so we wandered down there and checked it out. That was so hilarious! They pulled 4 guys out of the audience and had them competing in a competition. Their challenges included:
Dancing to Right Said Fred's "I'm to Sexy" (one dude was totally break dancing, spinning on the floor and everything)
A beer drinking competition. They had to do push ups with a long straw in their mouth that they drank the beer through
A kissing competition. They had to run around and kiss as many ladies in the audience as possible.
Finally they had to had a drag competition where they dress up as celebrities and danced around.

It might have been all the tequila and Corona, but I was laughing so hard my face still hurt the next morning. It was to fun.
We staggered upstairs and collapsed into bed. We had an early morning date with a speed boat and coral reef the next day.

The beds slept great and that night at least we didn't hear any peeps from the college students that were partying around us.
