Another post still no pictures

So try try as I might, I just cannot post any pictures. 
Dad is ill again tonight, missed supper and just joined us for the festivities of some  local artisans.  Pretty cool to see.  Today was just a lay low kind of a day.  We hung out at the pool and played around there.  The weather has really been cooperating.  Bill even joined us in the pool for a while.
Florence is a pretty good haggler.  She gets some pretty good deals.  A take it or leave kind of girl.  Went out for a good supper tonight.  Funny how all of the waiters look the same.  Once his name is Victor, the Andreo, then Marcus.  It is just uncanny!  Amazing how the Mayan's have their own kind of look.  Anyway, until tomorrow, love you all!

Part II

Just tio keep your attention, I'll try to keep these short and you can read what you want.  Dad fell asleep in the sun after his fishing trip, and woke up not all that bad.  \He expected to be burnt to a crisp, but it was okay.  I was however quite worried when the tour guide said that we would be back at our hotel at about 7:30.  That was Mexican time and we arrived back at about 9:00 p.m.  I was so exhausted, so today will be spent recuperating.  I am also having some trouble posting pictures, but will try again.  Pictures are always worth a thousand words.  Not that I have trouble coming up with a thousand words, but to get you guys to READ a thousand words, now that is a problem.  Could someone let Flo's family know the link to this blog, so they can also keep up with their parents?  So in the three or so days since we've been here Florence has put over 500 pics on her camera.  Puts our 20 or so to shame.  So we WILL have lots of pics, so you will see a lot!  The next post will be dedicated to pictures, so the Lord willing and I'm able.....enjoy!

Riviera Maya

This has been a cumbersund (sp) oh why am I even using that word!  Regardless a very difficult adventure to find time for blogging.  I really want you all to know about what a great time we are having, but am finding so little time to do so!  Today has been reserved for that purpose.  So whenever I find a moment, and am in the right spot, AND can connect to the internet,  I'll let you know whats been going on.
Yesterday, Flo, Bill and I went to Chicenitza.  To say it was spectacular is a real understatement!  The knowledge and customs of the people of that era is absolutely breathtaking.  We learned so much that it was hard to grasp everything in one day.
While we were doing that. Dad went deep sea fishing.  He was smart and took some Gravol beforehand, so while his stomach held out over rough seas, those of his partners did not.  He did have a great time and caught a lot of fish.  Big fish too!  Although he did not have the camera, his group was from Alberta and they took many pics and we're hoping they will e-mail them to us.

First Day

Hard to believe I am saying this but regardless, What a busy day!  Please forgive me in advance for the spelling mistakes, but i'M  doing this in the dark, and it is what it is.    Today we went into Playa del Carmen and did some non-shopping.  Tomorrow, Florence, Bill and I arte doing an excursion while dad is going deep sea fishing.  Sorry still no pics but I'M  having a prooblem in remembering how to do it.  We are soon off to bed, so we'll talk to you tomorrow eveigning  evening and let you know what's up.  lOVE you all, goodnight

Mayan Riviera

Yesterday we enjoyed a day of strictly just travelling.  After arriving at the airport shortly after 7:00 am, we had a wonderful fight and arrived, after the time change and all other things, we were at the hotel at about 8:00.  Our room is beautiful, were greeted by very friendly hotel employees, amenities right up where we want them.
We are on the third floor, but there is a working elevator.  The view is awesome.
We were greeted this morning to a wonderful display of all of the non paying guests of the hotel.  A large group of Okapi and some beautiful birds that kind of look like red winged blackbirds and sound like them, but their backs are bright blue and their insides are dark.  Absolutley beautiful.  Hope the pictures work out.  The internet is sporadic and slow and only available out of our room so we'll need some time to figure things out.
I'll post more info later.  Love you all and talk to you later.

Vancouver 01/08/13

When snow falls from the sky, you don't get nearly as wet as when rain comes pouring down.  My my my, it is some wet down here in the big city.  Dad had a very successful aftrnoon playing poker.  I didn't quite keep up by shopping his winnings away, but I got what I wanted.  It really was all good.  There was a men's dress shop closing out which had some nicely coloured shirts which made him very happy.  Also made a stop at Old Navy and of course Smart Set.  Met up with Erica, went out for dinner, and are now back at the hotel room.  It will be an early turn in tonight.  Tomorrow we start the real adventure.
  Sweet sweet Peanut has realized that things are not so bad at the Poelmans.  She has relized that although it might be a long time for her, Maya will look after her well so she has stopped crying (at least for now).
So until tomorrow, we bid you for now a goodnight.  Love to you all.  Talk to you from good old Mexico!

On the road again

Our new adventure begins today!  We are on our way to Playa del Carmen Mexico with Florence and Bill.  We left Telkwa today to overnight in Vanderhoof.  After stopping by Chelsey's we went to pick up Maya at school.  It was very cool.  Seeing her and all her little classmates all in uniforms.  She is in a little house that houses just the kindergarten.  So nice and bright and clean and tidy.  Seems like just yesterday Chelsey was in kindergarten.  So tomorrow we leave for Vancouver and we'll let you know of any excitement then.
