January 16, 2016. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. Moving On.

Wendy and Ken have just gone down for one last swim in the ocean and to sit on the beach.  I did remind them last evening that our Playa Royale right next door also has a beach and an ocean too but Wendy correctly said that this morning will be the last of their true vacation.  This afternoon and tomorrow morning they will help us unload our belongings from the locker, make a run to the grocery store and help with laundering all our clothes.   And as we know, Wendy is a wonderfully efficient worker.   They have enjoyed wrangling with the ocean.  Some days the waves were downright fierce but they loved it.

Ken and I are packed ready to make the big move.  After two weeks at an all inclusive place you are ready to move on.   The food and the service have been wonderful and we have enjoyed our stay here.  I am not sure what point in our life we became accustomed to being indulged, but we like it, for at least for a short time.  By the end of the first week we stopped over eating.  Now we will look after our own breakfast.

Except that Robbie and Joyce will be staying with us this coming week and Robbie always cooks breakfast.  They were not able to get their own place for a second week so I suggested they join us, so we will have a good time.  Robbie watches for whales so if the whales are out there, we will see them and their spouts.  On Wednesday, Rita and Ian are supposed to join us but Rita broke her foot.  For a while it appeared they might be forced to cancer their trip but the doctor has put her into an air cast.  On Monday, if the bone has not moved at all, they are prepared to come on down.  They know this is a wonderful place to recuperate.

The Hard Rock Hotel treated us well.  Now we are moving on.
