Xmas in Mexico - Day 1

Bhaiya and all came around 7 pm on 19th from Columbus. Not much to do but to get ready for tomorrow

It was an early start for us.  We all got ready early to leave for Miami airport by 8 a.m., since we did not know how much time we are needed to get to the airport but 8 pm should be good for the 12 p.m. flight.  We parked at the hotel and got their shuttle to go to the airport.  All went okay and on time. The flight was on time but the landing was delayed by 40 minutes because of weather.

Bhabhi was in contact with the taxi driver who had already texted her, it was their policy to take the customer flight and phone number so that flight arrivals could be monitored. All was smooth sailing once we landed.  We came out and found our taxi and we were on our way to Playa del Carmen. Got there by 5ish; check-in was a little slow at Allegro. It was all inclusive so they gave us wrist bands, different colors for different age group for alcohol sake.  The all inclusive was our first experience so we went for a walk around the campus. It was beautiful, two pools, the beach area was clean and beautiful; the rooms were like cottages and gave the feeling of an aashram.
We went to eat at 6 p.m. at the buffet. It was good food, lots of fruits and vegetables, nothing like daal roti but we got really stuffed on all kinds of foods. There was tons of guacamole – I just loved it!! And then of course lots of variety for dessert. It started raining a bit so we went to our rooms. We got a third bed for Viki so that the kids won't have to share the queen bed.

Around 8:30 p.m. we went to see the Mexican night show at the theater. For about 30 minutes the crew played around with the kids; really fun games and activities; and the kids were really enjoying it. Sometimes I feel bad that we don't drink because it's open bar.  The show started at 9 p.m. there was the mariachi band and a singer all really good and then there was a group of eight dances they have some really nice traditional dances great costume and great entertainment great way to end the day.
Sleep was good. There was some chatter outside but otherwise it was all okay.
