Finally Here!

So...you know how we were supposed to fly out at 10:15 yesterday? well, it was delayed to 3:00. and then 3:30. So we had a five hour wait in the airport. It was crazy. Family members were contemplating going home (cause even then there was no GUARANTEE that we would fly out at 3:30-still too much ash). But we got here, landing at about 8:30 pm. We go taxi rides to the resort, checked in (and with eleven people, it is WAY more complicated than you'd think). But we got our rooms and then went and checked out the ocean. The eleven of us were the only ones in the outdoor bar/restaurant because by this point it was late. We all had drinks (the pineapple juice is SO good) and celebrated our successful arrival.

Today was amazing! Seeing the resort in daylight, it's gorgeous, so we've had a day full of ocean and pool swimming, eating, reading, playing and relaxing. The sun is so hot that I already have a bit of a tan. Brother, Cousin and I just finished playing cards with two employees Duane(pronounced Dwaine, and Gem). Duane also has a sister Sasha. They work at the 'activities shop/counter thing' and are...rascals, but seem pretty awesome. Within the first few hours of having met them, Sasha tried pushing me in the pool and Duane stole my hat (and not just like take it and waggle it in my face and give it back. He actually took it and left for like, ten minutes).

Not sure what the rest of our plans are. We might go to the disco tonight I think. But even after all the hastle of getting here, this is AWESOME.
