First day of the true excursion. Sandra wakes up first, and somehow is able to fanagle Alexa out of bed to go get breakfast. I was still half out of it, and decided to grab more sleep. When I finally came about, I showered brushed that one tooth I cared about and headed down to see how the rest of the crew was doing. They seemed more than satisfied with the lack of my jovial presense; and if I looked more closely, the seemed to actually be glowing. I passed on food, but was happy with a quart of coffee.
We then had to catch up on the things that were missing from our first day here. In the haste of escaping from NY, Alexa did not pack sandles, hat or anything necessary for a sunny climate. So after breakfast we headd across the street to a CVS and started a little provisioning. Alexa found her gear, and while I was there, I said "Don't mind if I do". I grabbed a hat, some water-sandles and board-shorts. I don't know if I needed all these things, but they were right next to the bag of Wasbi Almonds, so they ended up at the checkout all the same.
At the hotel, we did our usual "See you at dinner", and we did the split. I found a nice spot 3 feet from the beach where I was able to grab lunch and some beers. Sandra and Alexa were about 25 yards into the sand, but they both ended up joining me at the table for lunch at the wood, not the sand.
Afterward, I scoped out a place in the lobby with air conditioning and settled in for the NCAA women's Basketball finals. In between times, I was catching up on these very Chronicles. Then the monsoon happened. The TV lost signal, and I could see out the windows the downpouring of rain. If I wasn't mistaken, the girls were somewhere out in the middle of that mess. I was about to go resue them, when I realized I still half of a Mojito to finish. I'm sure they're fine.
The game eventually came back, and I watched until the end. It was time to head up to the room where Alexa was trying to flesh out some sand in her eyes. It was dinner time, and I was now realizing I was not up to going out (maybe too many Mojitos? :) They went out and I crashed for the evening; but not without seeing the push notifications telling me that the girls were out on the town burning down our credit limit. Oh well...Tomorrow's another day.
