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. 26th, 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.

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 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.

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.
