Adios Mexico!

Well, the rest of the Mexican vacation was pretty uneventful, with the exception of New Year's Eve which was perhaps too eventful. We went out for dinner as a family. The hotel had a big NYE fiesta planned, but Jenn and Rollie were both sick and of course Bruce and Lorrie had the kids to put to bed. So I dragged my mom out for a short while. The hotel had set up for 5000 people. There was a bit of a cheezy show which started at about 10 pm which was about the time we got there. We had had a late dinner so the place was already packed when we got there. My mom found what I think she thought was a nice family table to join - two middle age couples with two teenage boys. Oops - they turned out to be English! Which means they turned out to be big drinkers. The tequila and champagne started flowing. Mom didn't stay long.. and I was left with the crazy, drunk English. It actually turned out to be a fun night. Dancing started at midnight after some fireworks and then at some point moved to the disco. I never made it back to the room until early morning. I spent half the next day asleep at the beach. All in all, not a bad week. I still think I prefer my vacations non-inclusive style though. With the exception of the short drive to the cenotes, I never left the resort!
