Wednesday, January 21: Leaving Cozumel. Arriving to Philly

Mary and I got up around 5:30 AM for a 45 minute 6 AM yoga class down outside. Today was the mild this morning of all the mornings we were here. We went down for yoga and that was very pleasant. Then we went up to our room to get our final packing done and I took a shower because I was a bit sweaty. I then almost cracked my ankle and fell down as I was leaving the room. That was a little bit scary. Anyhow, met up with Linda and Dave and we paid for the taxi ride with the last of my pesos that I had left. That ride was pretty smooth then we got to the boat for the 8:00 AM boat ride. 

Well we arrived at the boat and the boat was really rocky. Mayor got seasick and eventually Dave and Linda came in the inside part. I couldn’t believehow much this boat rocked. It’s a big boat, but it really is rocky and shit. I felt flat on my face trying to move around. Well, the 9 o’clock ADO 


bus turned to a 928 bus to eight 9:50 AM radio Bus to the airport glad we left early. well, the lady Bus did arrive at the airport. Lynne and Dave

ran off because they’re afraid they were going to miss their plane. Looks like they made it in plenty of time. We saw them boarding. Mary 

and I especially meet a junk food  & I started editing my blogs. It gave me something to do while waiting around. The flight left on time. 
I was a pretty smooth flight. We actually arrived in Philadelphia a half hour early, which is a good thing because we had to wait about eight minutes for the Uber and 
the traffic heading back into town was kind of bad. And Mary said she’s hungry I should order the Indian while we’re sitting in the Uber so we did 
brought herself back stuff back home and I put on my winter coat that I had left. I have choir rehearsal next-door in 45 minutes is now 6:16 PM found out that Mike justgot home today a little before 5 PM today. Mike has not made any contacting me. He did contact Mary however. He still has no phone and one of his Mom’s Meals orders had to be thrown out cause it went sour, but he has plenty of food in that refrigerator. Anyhow, might to throw it back and set it and sent me his sister’s phone number. I got the Indian food ate half of it and quickly ran to choir rehearsal. I’m gonna be about five minuteslate. It’s pretty cold, but I’m pretty bundled up layers and stuff. I’m not dressed up for a dress rehearsal, but you know what the hell I just wanna make it that’s all. what’s the reversal went pretty well I must say. My teeth behave themselves. I came back to our place and purposely stayed up late so I could pass out 

and not have the teeth. Keep me up all night. I finished off my dinner and that was that I’m hoping to get an emergency phone call to the dentist to get an emergency appointment. Just wanted to let you all now that customs in Philadelphia was smooth. There was no line but the best part is that all they do is scan your face and your checked. It was 
Great actually compared to what I had to put up with getting back from Costa Rica to Charlotte

Tuesday, January 20: Last Full Day. Boat Tri

Today Mary & I woke up around 8 AM. Got ourselves ready for a quick breakfast of eggs and some delicious lemonade, juice, and and Cajun potatoes. Anyhow, we went to our 9:15 AM yoga class first Lupe told us about Yamas. She was telling us there are there are 
actually 5 Yamas (social ethics) and 5 Niyamas (personal observances), totaling ten principles guiding a yogic lifestyle, which include pranayama. I had trouble wrapping

my head around it since my back was a little sore. Some new concepts are hard for me to wrap around Linda Domino was very astute that since she’s

been studying that for 30 years as she stated. Anyway, it was very interesting though. I wish I could’ve recorded the whole thing, but I really didn’thave any enough battery left to do all that. So anyway, we did two sets and some poses and one set and another pose and then we did a super set. This was to get us out in time so we could quickly get an early

lunch and byron and Lupe could do errands. Maryann and I needed to do big Aaron and get 2000 pesos so we could tip people pay byron 900 of those pesos and tip our folks that cleaned
our bedroom and helped us at the front desk. It was kind of complicated. It is at least for people like us who are new at this whole resort vacation thing. So it’s now 2:23 PM we’re about to enter the dock for the boat. The wind seems to have died down a little bit and the sun is out so that’ll be good. Well, it is 5:14 PM. I went in for two snorkelingdives. They were cool. Got to see a stingray a bunch of cute little fish speaking of cute little fish. They actually bite and then I got four bite markson my wrist so after I got up on the second dive, I decided I was in for the day, cause it was really cold when you got out and I just didn’t feel like it anymore so loopy and Jeff went in for the last one will be able to see the sunset soon . At the end of book, pick up really rocky I mean the waves were rocking the boat don’t tip the boat over, etc. I had fun dancing around the boat because they were playing these fun tunes problems. I didn’t get very good video of the boat trip franklycause I was in the water most at a time anyway after we got back from the boat trip we got changed took a shower and then met everyone else for dinner. I also got an opportunity 
to charge up my phone because it was down to 1%. To get down for dinner we were treated to a delicious feast. I can’t even remember what it hadbut they had delicious salmon that I really done and then he had the special Isriel Israeli cheese and tofu dish as well. Everybody raved about that one. Then 
they brought out the lava cake which byron would be really reefed about. And had that with ice cream boy that was some sinfully delicious indulgent dessert that’s for damn sure. After that we hung out and then we all went to bed fairly early. Mary and I went upstairs and got our 
stuff organized and both of us found the paper that supposedly we need to get out of the country so that’s a relief. We got our passport and money that we need for the cab and extra money for the airport.

. It’s now 10:17 PM I’m getting

ready for bed. Well, put it in perspective. Nobody asked for that weird paper at the airport when we left a day later. But I know well enough just to keep

everything until you absolutely don’t need it especially when you’re overseas. Maybe that’s certain parts of Mexico such as Meta he know 

it’s where the druglords are hanging out, but I don’t know. It’s a very memorable trip. That’s for sure. I’ll always remember this trip. 

It was amazing how rough the surf was on the boat. It was pretty far out. I must say the guys had this really thumping music that sounded like it was going Oompa Loompa Oompa, Loompa, Oompa Loompa you know I know the Oompa Loompa’s from the Wizard of Oz and I got really into it I started dancing on the boat, holding one of the polls and I was really having fun. I mean I was all energetic while one person with seasick and byron was on the mat in front of the boat where it wasn’t as wet and splashy. It was only three of us plus byron and loopy. It was a good time.
