Cancun Trip Moon Palace Resort

Monday – Wet N Wild – August 18, 2008

Everyone woke up for an early breakfast so we could eat before the boat departure from the pier between the two sides of the Moon Palace for our 30 minute ride to the Wet N Wild Water Park.

It was great in the fact that it was not crowded so we road everything there several times even the ‘Lazy River’ float giving us some needed breaks. The sun was hot but there was a slight breeze most of the day.

Everyone had a great time all day hitting all of the towers and wave pool.

We finished up with repeated drops from the “The Flush Bowl” while waiting for the time to catch our return ferry boat back to the Resort. This is a body ride where you ended up going down through a winding tube emptying into a big ‘bowl’ much like a toilet where you went around several times before being dumped “flushed” into the pool below.

The boat ride back was great as the crew had the guys doing a song and dance to ‘YMCA’

Scott dancing the YMCA song










And later the girls were doing the chicken dance song as well as the Macarena.

There was cerveza and Tequila shots given during the ‘Beetlejuice’ portion of their show which was funny and kept your mind off the heat for the forty five minutes back to our pier.

There are nine cooked people in our party now as everyone had plenty of sun while the 50 sun block tried to slowly bring our pasty white bodies into some color. The arctic climate has many parts that never see the light of day so there is some burning going on . . . think bacon without that good smell.

Tonight we have the Michael Jackson show . . . yeah that was my reaction too. Plenty of kiddies here at the resort so we will keep an eye out on all of them making sure none head to his ‘Presidential Suite’.

Tomorrow . . . Golf on a Jack Nicklaus Signature course . . . we saw it yesterday and it is by far the best course we have ever seen . . . real grass . . . no spots from the winter damage and it looks gorgeous.

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 golden-sand beach.

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
