Cozumel Day 7

Yesterday was the last day in Cozumel. We slept in till about 9 and got ready for the day. We started packing and then decided to go eat breakfast at the buffet in the italian restaurant. After breakfast we returned to the room to finish packing. We then sat on the patio for a while, read a little, slept a little, and overall just relaxed in the room till about noon. We had to check out by noon, but we were allowed to stay at the hotel and use it until we needed to leave. We didn't need to be at the airport till 2pm so we had around 2 hours to waste. We sat in the lobby, played some cards, ate some lunch, and then headed for the airport.

Everything went smoothly at the Cozumel airport. We arrived in Dallas a bit early which was nice, however someone decided not to board their plane in Dallas but their baggage was already checked in and on the plane. International laws do not allow this so they had to do a baggage search to remove the bags from the plane. Because this plane was at our gate, we ended up waiting about 30 to 45 minutes on the plane waiting for the gate to open. Wanda and I were sitting in the very back of the plane (3rd to last couple to get out of the plane). This meant we needed to hurry to catch our next plane. Since it was an international flight, we had to go through customs, pickup our bags, check the bags in again, and then proceed to our gate in another terminal. When we got out of the plane we had about 1 hour and 15 minutes before our next flight left. We managed to get to the plane just in time. We were the last passengers on the plane and about 3 minutes after we got on, they shut the doors of the plane. We are thankful we got on the plane, but we were really hungry as we did not manage to get anything to eat in the Dallas airport like we had planned.

Everything else went fine on the flight back. Our pilot from Dallas to Minneapolis was probably the best one of all of them as his takeoffs and landings were very smooth. Dan picked us up and was nice enough to take us to a drive-thru so we could get some dinner. We got home, ate dinner, and went to bed.

I highly recommend the resort we stayed at. The service was great, the people were very friendly, and the food was wonderful. I have nothing negative to say about the resort. I need to thank my 2 co-workers, John and Michelle, for both recommending this place to me.

We enjoyed our trip and are very glad we went. It was a much needed vacation. My favorite part of the trip would have to be the relaxing, the food, and the pool. Wanda's favorite part was swimming in the ocean for the first time and snorkelling while out there.

The Cozumel trip is over, but we still have the day off today. I do not have any pictures from yesterday as it was mainly travel. Hope you enjoyed our daily recaps and photos of our trip.
