Tomorrow at 7pm we shove off for Mexico (or rather the airport that will take us to Mexico, and on THURSDAY we actually go there). I’ve been researching our hotel, and now I’m more excited than ever.

Our hotel is all-inclusive. That is, I get to be a pig for free, to put it in terms that might make myself look bad. To put it in terms that look good: The place has about 16 fancy dining restaurants, snack bars, a bar bar, internet cafes, 24-hour room service, and much more. I get that all for free. I can eat and drink as much of anything as I want. I can walk into the fancy restaurants and order as much as I need to, and it’s all mine without paying. I can request room service for a hundred food items in the middle of the night, and I’ll get it. For free.

I can even order liquor and have that for free. I don’t want it, but it’s neat that the right is there. I know my friend Aaron would have a blast with that. he doesn’t drink, but he’d exercise the right and be damn proud of it.

For those of you who think I’ll be gaining a few pounds, don’t worry: They’ve got an entire fitnessy gym, too!

The hotel also has a couple very large pools (I can compare them to lakes), which at the center of ONE of them, if I can find it in the mass of jungle and lake-pool, is a jaccuzi. I’m sure there are multiple. And I plan to spend basically an entire day in one of them because I love jaccuzis and hot showers and relaxing and relaxing and relaxing. I need a vacation, so so badly. And I’m so psyched! o-ooo…

They’ve got a spa, and 432 rooms with a jaccuzi tub in each room. We’ve got a junior suite, and it’s going to be HUGE - two beds, a balcony, and some kind of living room structure it looks like. Huge room, I’m excited.

The forecast says rain five days of our trip. I don’t believe it at all - yesterday every day was sunny. it’s onyl a 30% chance of rain each day, so I take it lightly, and expect really hot and sunny beautiful weather.

Adios America! We’ll be in touch.
