Last Day in Paradise

Bahia Principe Akumal Resort

Bill and I were awake around 6, soon enough to get dressed and go down to the beach to catch the sunrise. Today is Saturday, Oct. 26^th, our last day in this lovely resort. We met Yvonne and Dennis doing the same thing but left them and carried on for a bit of a walk. 

We returned to our room and around 7:30 got dressed for breakfast. We walked to Akumal lobby following Krystal, Matt, Charlotte and Cory.

The other four joined us soon after. We couldn’t get a table for 10 but sat 8 and 2 beside each other. We’re glad we were able to get them all together once more and we enjoyed the meal. We’re all going to miss the great food and services available when we go home. We went our separate ways and since I was dressed ready for the beach, I just stopped long enough to grab my beach bag and walked to the Infinity Pool.

Yvonne and Dennis were already there and once more, the others joined soon after. We’d all decided that our last day would be relaxing and catching some last rays. Bill remained at the room, read on his laptop, made our lists for our declarations on the plane and began his packing. Then he came to the pool. All in all, today, I had 2 Miami Vice and concluded that I’d have one more with lunch and that was it for this trip.

Maybe nice for a picture frame

When we went for lunch at Los Corales, by the pool, we found a table for two. We were almost finished with our drinks when the winds started up and the rains hit. Bill ran back to our chairs, where we’d left our towels and books etc. and by the time he and Cory got back inside the restaurant, it had quit and the sun was out. This is apparently typical for rainstorms down here in the middle of an afternoon.

The staff swept water and wiped tables in order to accommodate the large lunch crowd. They did this in record time. Bill and I walked back to our room for a siesta and then around 3:30 I went back to the pool. The kids were still there but left soon after I arrived. I’m getting a complex! Ha ha, they’d been there since 9:30 and needed some activity so off they went to find something else to do.

I ordered my first omelette and it was delicious
the ceiling was a topic of our conversation this morning

I read and relaxed until 4:30 before taking a walk along the beach. They weren’t playing volleyball either in the pool or on the beach so I figured they’d all returned to their rooms as well.

I returned to Bill and did my own packing before hopping in the shower. Bill and I were dining alone tonight for our last Akumal Resort dinner. The Last Supper? It was good and after some dessert we took a selfie and left the buffet. Walking around the lobby, checking out the entertainment for the evening we decided to walk back to our room. Not much was happening.

Roast turkey and potatoes anyone?

A little bit of light desserts
All calorie free, of course! haha

Bill said he hates feeling like an old fogey but when you’re tired, you’re tired. I was just as happy to go back and get at my blog post. Tomorrow is flight home day and it will be a long one. Our checkout is 7:20 so we’ll be there early. Our flight is 1 pm and we'll arrive in Toronto around 6 pm. The drive home from there will be tough but we'll arrive at the Ridge sometime after 9. 

This has been a wonderful day again for our last one. Jess, Matt and Easton are staying here until Tuesday so that will give them a bit of time on their own.

We've had a blast here and are ready for our next winter adventure
