Wednesday
We got on a plane to Dallas Texas first. We waited 2 hours until we got on our plane to Mexico. When we landed we had to wait in a really long line just to go to another really long line. Then at the end of that long line we pushed a button with a random red or green light. Then we got in a rental car and drove to the Royal Sands Hotel.
Thursday
We went to a hotel not to far away called Cancun Palace. We took a tour and went to the Infinity Pool. (We got a lot of tours for the 7 of us for only $225, well worth our time!) My brother Devon and I went to the beach which was seriously right next to us. I found some really cool shells and 2 rocks, on the beach, under the sand. We ate dinner at a Japanese restaurant. We went to a show about Michaels Jackson. It was an OK show, not the best. (Carson asked during the show. Is Michael Jackson supposed to be a boy or a girl? Good question.)
Friday
Today was the boringest day ever. I had to go on this bus. It took 3 hours to get to this Mayan temple named Chitzenitza. IT is really cool because when you clap you hear a sound like a gun shot. There is this God that is a bird snake. The gun shot sound is the bird. If you listen to the left there is the rattle (snake sound.) There is a phenomenon – there are 7 triangles on the steps and the head on the bottom. September 22nd and March 21st the sun lights up the triangles one by one. If all light up it will be a good year. 2005 it was cloudy so it was a bad year. (Lots of damaging hurricanes.)
Saturday
At 11 am we went to a Marina and went on a cool tour. While we were doing it a level one hurricane was coming. On the tour we were on little speed boats. We went through Mangroves. When we started back it started to pour. The water droplets felt like bullets. It got me cold so I hid under the bow of the boat. We are just about to be in a level 1 hurricane.
Sunday
This morning really early Hurricane Ida hit us, just the edge of it. We went to the pool and swam for a minute and a half, and then the manager told us to get out. Two hours later we went to the pool attain. WE stayed there for at least 2-3 hours. The Devon, Pop-pop and I went up the elevator. I went to the back corner of the elevator and I stepped on a piece of glass and cut my foot. Then when we got to our room I went to our porch. Our dad helped me with the cut. Then a doctor came and helped with my foot. Then I went back inside and watched Toy Story 2 and ate ice cream.
Monday
We tried to go do a zipline. It was cancelled so we rescheduled for tomorrow. We decided to go to Coba. We did a 45 minute tour with a guide. Then we went on tricycles with a pedaler on the back driving us around. Then Devon, my Dad and I climbed up the big temple pyramid called Coba. There was a spectacular view from the top of Coba. Then we all climbed down which actually was not too hard. Then we stopped at other sites on the way back to the car while riding on the bikes. Our pedaler was our tour guide.
On the way back from Coba we drove into a 2 foot deep hold in the middle of the road with no warning. We popped our right front tire. Apparently the hole was right next to a little police station. Then we got the care fixed and drove back to the hotel.
Tuesday
We started our day with a Zipline Adventure. We started out with a slow moving one for the zipline. Then we went down a longer zipline, which was also very fun. The ziplines kept getting longer and longer. On one zipline when you were done you had to walk over a bridge. The 2nd to last zipline I went on upside down. The last zipline was the longest and funnest.
Then we went on a boat ride that was called a shot over jet. There was a professional driver driving the boat. We did high speed turns, which dint’ get me dizzy at all. It really cooled me down on the hot day.
Wednesday
I went to the beach in the morning. I collected some shells and rocks and a cool piece of coral reef (that I lost) we were at a yellow flag doing stuff because every place else had a red flag. I lot of rocks had been unburied by the hurricane.
We went to the pool and played a few hours there. We went back to our room. Then my Dad, Mom and baby brother decided to go to the kids place. We played a little ping pong and then we hit it on the wall. Back at the hotel we watched Kung Fu Panda, which I have seen 10 times.
Thursday
We went to Wet and Wild. My favorite ride at Wet and Wild was the double space bowl. We went on all the rides. One ride was called Kamikaze. There were Bumper Boats. There was the Kids Park, Wave Pool and Lazy River. For lunch I ordered Pepperoni Pizza. On the Kamikaze, you went down a slide really fast, when it feels like a free fall, you land!
Friday
We flew home.
