Jayce's thread

Hey, LG, Mexico was great in some ways, average in others. Weather was hi 80's, no rain all week. Iberostar was similar to Palladium where we stayed 5 yrs ago, but smaller. Food wasn't as good but bar had better liquor. Being close to Playa del Carmen meant shorter ride from Cancun airport & shorter rides to excursions. Went horseback riding including into the ocean Mon & Thurs. Went into the water twice each trip. It was a blast! Most fun thing I've done in a long time. H doesn't ride, so he stayed at the pool enjoying the bar & the scenery.

H didn't pack bathing suit in his carry on as we did last time. (They hate when we remind them, then ....)We got to the resort 10:30-11:00. Check in 3:00. Could have gone in the pool if he'd had his trunks. I had my swimsuit & thong sandals..... We did get into our room around 2, but in the meantime, his back hurt from the plane ride, he was hungry (always an epic tragedy), and CRABBY as all hell. Went to restaurant nearest the beach, lunch, snacks not exciting. He wasn't comfortable walking around the place, so he napped as soon as we got in the room. Still crabbing. (He chose the place so he couldn't get mad at me) I went to the beach for the rest of the afternoon. He was in a good mood Sun. & ML in the afternoon. ML once later in the week, but then I didn't expect 2nd honeymoon. Mood swings all week from crabbing to being nice. I just don't get him sometimes. When he's in "little boy" mode, he's awful. His "grownup" is OK.

In a week or so I'm going to suggest getting his back checked as the Dr. told him to do. It affects his L leg, he never walks up straight, and he can't do anything fun. He might have gone on the ATV ride thru the "jungle", but the bouncing would have killed him. I'm guessing he needs to have his "partially herniated" discs fixed. He's known about them for 20 yrs. I'm afraid having pain off & on so many years will cause the pain to be chronic even after the discs are fixed. Why are some guys so stubborn about taking care of themselves? But as restricting as his back is, its always a ready excuse for something he doesn't want to do.... like ML sometimes.

But Mexico was good. Lounged in the sun, read 2 books, tried Mojitos, they're pretty good. Got a nice tan. And wasn't even close to being cold the whole time I'd go again in a heartbeat.
I'll catch up w/you guys over the weekend.
