Day 3 - December 4th

Breakfast
I went to the buffet for breakfast around 9:00 a.m. I slept in because I was up till around 2:00 p.m. and I had VH1 on all night with good music. Andrea, an agent from Nova Scotia, Canada, walked in before me, so we ate together.

Paolo
I went to town to make another attempt to see Paolo, but they didn't know where he was, so I just left a message. Then, I walked around towards the area where I stayed before and saw the compound, which just gets more and more interesting. They keep trying to tell me that the jewelry store moved around the corner, but I still couldn't find it. On my way back, I checked one more time, but Paolo still wasn't in. I walked back to the resort on the beach.

Stomach Issues
My stomach didn't feel right, so I went to the room for about a 1/2 hour and had some diet coke and a Levaquin while I blogged.

Lunch
I really didn't feel like eating lunch, but I went to the buffet and tried a little salad an chips and guacamole, but I only ate a couple bites.

Pool/Beach
Since dad told me there was snow in Chicago, I wanted to get out and take advantage of the sun! The building was blocking some of the sun at the pool where there was an open seat, so I went down to the beach with two other agents. I wore my dress though because I feel like a beached whale and didn't want to put on my bathing suit. The sun felt good, but I didn't stay out for long. My stomach was feeling better and I decided to walk to town again.

Town
I walked down Constituyentes and came across another new clothing store at the corner of Constituyentes and Avenida 15. It was a small store, but they had really cute purses, shoes, and jewelry. I bought a ring for $12.00. One of the girls working there was asking me for help with her numbers. She was confused between hundreds and thousands.

I continued down 15th and then down 12th towards the beach. I found another really cute hotel.

THE Royal in Playa Del Carmen
I went back and got a little snack of cheese, bread, and salami. I brought it back to the room so I could blog and get my things ready with the door open overlooking the garden wedding.

Cocktails & Dinner
We had to meet at 7:00 p.m. for cocktails at dinner at the seafood restaurant. The new FAM group mixed with ours making it around 60 people.

The chosen meals are always a bit unusual for a group. Tonight it was Salmon, but they made me some type of steak roll.

Lobby
After dinner, we all went to the lobby to say our "goodbyes." Things got a little wild! I also realized that one of the couples on the new FAM was one that I met in Jamaica (but they were also the alternates at that time).
It must be the theme because on our river cruise, a man dropped Cathleen while dancing and tonight a Travel Agent dropped another Travel Agent. Luckily, she didn't need to go to the hospital. She was actually fine (must have been the alcohol that saved her).
