Cancun 2008 – Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort

Sunday – August 17, 2008

Taylor, Brandon, & I awoke early and ate breakfast together at one of the buffets. We leisurely ate looking for any of Scott’s family to show up. Everyone met up in the lobby to take the scheduled tour of the facilities @ 8 am with the staff.

It showed off all of the existing places as well as what was being built or scheduled over the next several years.

Scott & I wanted to check out the golf course so we made sure everyone came out for look with us and then decided to eat lunch in the Golf Course restaurant which turned out to be excellent (best meal so far).

Golf Clubhouse










The course was beautiful and the staff seemed to enjoy everyone coming out to give it a look before we come back in the morning to play.

After lunch we decided to head into Cancun for shopping. There was a big fiasco with more people than one bus could take into town so a 2nd bus was ordered. We were just past the cutoff point for the first bus but once the other one came we were off to see the Beach Palace Resort and shopping nearby. Everyone found something for someone on their shopping list while trying to figure out the correct pesos to dollars, and since we were there had the opportunity for an ‘exploratory tour’ of the Beach Palace. We took the bus back to the hotel for a Mexican night dinner, with the band playing for everyone.

A few headed back to the room while most everyone went to the beach bar spending the rest of the night sitting by the ocean listening to the waves and the soft music playing. We stayed until the slightly waning full moon rose from the ocean and just after midnight headed back to the rooms. Tomorrow is Wet N Wild with an early departure from the pier.

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a gol...

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o...

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L...
