Saturday, April 9th

When Debbie and I got up Susan was already back from her walk down to the Divi and back and she had left Kevin behind.  She had already tagged our chairs by the lazy river so we do coffee and everyone gets some breakfast.  I had also rented a palapa on the beach in case the kids wanted to be on the beach. Debbie and I had to return the car today so Kevin and Susan followed us down there and then we came back and gathered our things to go to the pool/beach.  We did go down and sit on the beach for awhile but the kids left to go the the beach bar and after an hour when they didn't come back, we gathered everything and carried it up to the unit and fixed some lunch.  We spent the afternoon at the lazy river and it was really nice there.  We were also in a hot spot for the wifi so we were playing Words with Friends on our iTouch's and enjoying the day.  Susan and Kevin went to the room to take a nap.

Debbie and I came up at about 4 to see what everyone wanted to do for dinner.  When we get up there they were annoyed that they were unable to sleep as there seemed to be kids above them bouncing a basketball and someone next to them running a broom along the balcony railing.  Debbie and I didn't hear anything but did see the maid in the unit next to room they were in.  We decide to have dinner at the sushi restaurant in the hotel and it was very good and very fresh.  Debbie and I did stop that afternoon before going upstairs from the pool to get more Pelican Pecan Pie and the lady in the deli said all the pastries and prepared foods were made on premises in the hotel.  The sushi restaurant in the hotel is next to the pastry bar and we could smell them as we walked by...yum.  After dinner we went to the casino where I had a really good night playing 3 card poker and Debbie did well playing blackjack.  Susan and Kevin played the slots and Susan did well playing the same machine on the original money for hours so a good time was had by all and the drinks were free.  There is a golf cart type shuttle that runs from the casino between the properties.  We were able to catch it going tonight and a little Filipino man was on the late shift.  Debbie and I would get to know him and he would look for us each night.
