November 22, 2014. Riviera Maya, Mexico. Brizilian Steak House.

We did it. Everyone is here safe and sound. Both families experienced no hassles with travel. The rooms are beautiful overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Everyone is happy and delighted to be together. The Palace Resort changed their name to The Hard Rock Hotel, Riviera Maya, Hacienda. The also changed routines. When we arrived we were taken to the Convention Center, where snacks and drinks were set up. All the paper work took five minutes, then we were taken to our rooms/suites. And the whole place has been refurbished. It is new and fancy. Every evening we 12 will gather in our suite prior to having dinner together. What could be better. This idea we stole from Dave and Irene's cruise. Our meal tonight we enjoyed at the Brazilian Steak House. These girls enjoy good meat and we all ate our fill. Suzanne and five of the girls have gone to the Kareoka Teen Disco. The rest of us will call it a night. It has been a long day, but here we are, together again.
