The Jinx made it to Mexico
My brother, his wife, mom and dad and I all made it to the Rivera Mayan with min. agita. Sure we had to be at the Pittsburgh airport at 3 AM and they didn't have the handicapped assist as asked. Have to putter thru the boarding because the boarding pass scanner is broken, why not? Second half of the boarding pass going missing mysteriously but hey who cares because they don't want them, just your face scanned in, good luck I guess? Sure, we had to sit on the tarmac for a half hour in charlotte because the airport was that busy. Sure there was plenty of turbulence. Did you say you wanted a HUGE line at customs? Well good because you got it (it IS spring break after all). Want a downpour, provided free of charge. Want a big pileup on the highway adding a half hour to the commute to the all inclusive resort? Sure, we can do that. Want your rooms not to be ready? Bonus.
My brother eyes me and says I've been coming here 21 years, never once had we waited on the tarmac, had turbulence, had a line that long, had the transport not waiting for us, had RAIN like this.
Hey, bro you're welcome. It's all part of the magic of traveling with me. I'm a joy. And so is this place. I'm too damn tired to get many pictures today but oh this is lovely and I already have an idea for the demon of gluttony running one of these joints because I have never seen this much food in one place at one time and that was just lunch!
Dinner was amazing. Here's the thing with all inclusive resorts, since everything is already paid for I can experiment with things I've not had before like a negroni. I wanted to try some campari drinks (which are popular in Italy) but I know it's bitter and an acquired taste and this place does them. It was herbaceous and maybe a little like they made the campari from grapefruit pith but I liked it. And at dinner we went surf and turf and my surf was predictable (lobster) and the turf totally unexpected: bone marrow steak tartar with some kind of herby green sauce (amazing) which was weird since I won't normally touch fat but this was so good. (and I AM a fan of if you're going to eat an animal, use it all!)
bed room
I'm using this spa tub I swear (might have to take the phone and call for help to get out but I'm doing it!)
part of the sitting area
view from my balcony..
night time negroni (and the wrist thing says what resorts I'm allowed into and is actually my door key)0
New York tartar with roasted garlic (that you spread on that toast and pop the meat on and omg)
And look at me pre-doing Music Monday. Hit me up with your best beach songs.
