For spring break 2011 Myself Corey Drew and Keewaitin went to Cancun. This is a day by day from my prespective
Saturday Feb 19
Coreys parents picked everyone up around 2pm and we went to the airport. We got there about 3 hours before our flight left and we ended up getting seats together. Before getting on the plane we all had some Harveys. We got through secutiry and everything quite easily, however drew scetched me out. At one point in line he mentioned the word 'bomb'. I hear thats taboo in airports.
Everything was looking on schedule. We boarded the plane me and Corey sitting together and keewaitin and Drew sitting behind us. It took a rather long time for the plane to take off. We drove around the runway for a while and then they had to spray the wings with something because it was winter. We finally took off smoothly as a large group on the plane performed some planed chant. It felt like a roller coaster. It was fun when we had turbulence, in a way i never wanted it to end cuz it was like an amusment park ride but at the same time i didnt want to die lol. We got a movie on the plane, it was Wall Street with Shia Lebouf. Didnt really get to watch it because everyone was so excited to get to the destination and the headphones only played out of one ear for some reason. I was quite surprised that we got a meal on the plane. I had the vegetable fetucine and Corey had the meat spaghetti thing, which i ended up eating as well. At one point on the plane i remember flying over water. I think this may have been right before the Gulf of Mexico. The moon was reflecting off the water and it looked really neat. Finally we arrived at the airport in Cancun.
It was quite the long process in the airport. It didnt help that they screwed up the baggage either. The Torontos baggage came through our luggage carosel and vice versa. When we finally made it past all that we were just about to exit the airport when a mob of guys come up to us and attempt to take our suitcases from us. I told them that it was okay i could handle it but they physically take it from you. Keewaitin refused and was really stern and they didnt take his. The guy then asked drew if we were here for business or pleasure. Drew replied Pleasure and the guy says 'He's here for business' (as in keewaitin). When we arrive at the Busses the guys demanded a tip.... Ya thanks for taking my bag that has wheels on it 50 meters.
The bus then takes us to the resort. There was a guy on the bus that gave us tips about what and what not to do and he offered everyone beer for 3 dollars a can. Drinking on a bus.. cool. However drinks on the resort were free. The bus took us past all the resorts and into the main strip. It was super cool, reminded me of what ive seen of Vegas. Everything was lit up and everyone was partying. The clubs were all bumpin. You could see inside of some and they were all packed playing loud music. This is when i started to get excited.
We arrived at the resort at 1 am. The check in process was so unorganized. It took forever. Then when we finally got the room key, it was impossible to actually find the correct room. The resort was such a maze. Our room was 365. We went to the third floor, followed the room numbers and get to a dead end at room 361. After walking all over the place we finally get to the room. It was pretty nice, except there was only one king size bed and we requested two beds.. lame.
Once we settled in we decided to check the place out. It was dead, i was super disapointed. I thought it was going to be a crazy party 24/7. We found a room 'the 24/7 room' Where they had snacks and alcohol. The Hot Dogs were good, everything else... not so much. There were a bunch of 26's and a tap for coronas and you could help yourself to it all. We had a few drinks but decided to call it a night as there was nothing to do.
Sunday Feb 20
Wake up early to a freezing room.. Our thermastat was set to 10 degrees. We all went to breakfast and it was pretty good. Lots of food to choose from. This day and our last day were the only days we made it to breakfast. Slept in every other day. Not much to report on the events during the day. We usually chilled on the beach, swam, played beach volley ball, and waterpolo and drank. The nightlife is where all the stories came from.
