Saturday afternoon

We now have premier internet service because of last night's cave like windowless room and have moved to our new,much nicer room.  The boss of the reception area is being very accommodating to us in lieu of last night.It turns out there were about 5 rooms overbooked. We did not create a  huge stink but instead were very understanding and accepting. I of course mentioned the issue to SunWing and also mentioned that I had thousands of review reads  on Trip Advisor which is probably helping us get more perks!!
  As I write this I am lazing around on a beach lounger, under a palm tree at the beach,and Caro is doing Zumba with a dozen other ladies. She has already ran the streets for an hour and had walked the beach for an hour. I have not!

Second day at Viva Wyndham Azteca

Well we got here Ok in late afternoon after a good flight. Our hotel appears to be overbooked so we were given a tiny windowless room for the night with the promise of compensation today. They said last night we will get $100 today. Hmmm. Not enough,so we have also asked for a room with a great view,no cost  safe and premium internet. We will see.  Anyway SunWing will be notified and the fact that my reviews on Trip Advisor have been read over 28,000 times will help ,I hope!!

Playa del Carmen

Arrived yesterday. Very slow internet.

A cell phone attempt to upload

Trying cell after hard reboot

Gold medal

It was great to see Lisa's Team Alberta win over Team First Nations in the gold medal game of the Canadian Box Lacrosse Senior Ladies Championship game in Calgary.

Charlie and Pat Tuckey came to watch the game as well.

This is about the fifth attempt to get this blog post to upload and I have reverted to the tablet rather than use the cell phone.

In Calgary

After a pleasant night in the hotel we headed over to Max Bell Arena and watched Lisa's two games today.

Lisa scored a goal in the second game so that was nice to see.

After her second game ended we went to Charlie and Pat's place. Charlie has purchased a huge screen TV and sound system.Oh Wow!!!!!

After that we went out for a meal at a very nice Mexican restaurant in a very chic part of town called Inglewood.  A wonderful evening  tonight.

I am writing this post on my cell phone to see how it goes.
