Monday, April 11th

Debbie is up when I wake up and Susan and Kevin are going for their morning walk.  When they come back we all have coffee breakfast and discuss what time they need to leave to be at the airport on time.  They want to do a little shopping downtown before turning their car in so they leave at 11 AM.  Debbie and I clean up a bit around the unit and then since the pool noodles are now ours, we head to the pool/lazy river area.  Since we didn't have our chairs tagged early, we had a hard time finding a place to sit that wasn't already taken and that had wifi reception.  We are under a palapa in the sand by the adult pool.  We need to take a walk to Playa Linda to see Lois and Alyson this afternoon and let them know we have uninvited them to Madam Janette's.  Does this mean we are bad people?  I just hate wasting that much money when it wasn't that good this time.  We take a walk down there and find them on the beach with Nancy and Kevin too.  I had been several years since we have seen Nancy and Kevin.  We chat for awhile and then head back by way of the Holiday Inn casino.  We had played in here several times since we got here the first week since we had the car and now because we can walk.  We usually have fun in there even if we don't win but today I won about $100 on a penny machine.  We walk back to the unit for lunch and then floated the afternoon away in the lazy river....that is so cool and fun.  I had issues as did Dede trying to balance on the noodle while being pulled around by the current.  It was fun and we laughed a lot.  We played Words with Friends and took pictures of the beautiful sky.  Debbie also spotted the moon in the sky.  It was a beautiful day here. 

The second to last photo above was on our walk from Playa Linda towards the Holiday Inn.  The last building of Playa Linda is on the right and there used to be a beach bar where this little park is now.
We head back to shower.  We have plenty of left overs in the fridge we can have for dinner so we do that and then go the the casino.  We had a really fun night and I had a very profitable night playing three card poker.  Both of us had more than our share of free drinks but I definitely had way more than Dede.  By the time we decide to head back it is almost midnight.  We walked out the side door of the casino and our little Filipino friend in the cart is waving and driving (fast) up to get us.  There is a lady that took us over and he brings us back.  She handles the speed bumps in the parking lot slowly...our little friend speeds around and over them and you better hang on or be tossed into the parking lot.  When we get home there is a letter that was on the floor and had been put under the door.  Dede picks it up and we put it on the counter.  I honestly don't know how long we were up but I don't think it was long for me as I passed out shortly thereafter.  Dede took a photo to prove it so that I will not post here.

Another day in paradise has come to an end.
