We Have Guests!

3 Dec

The year was 2019. You remember 2019, back before the word Covid ever crossed our lips or took up real estate in our brains. Lisa and I went on an epic trip, Miami to Los Angeles through the Panama Canal. While breakfasting on the back deck of the Azamara cruise ship we met Dan and Lisa. Breakfast turned into friendship and we’ve kept in touch ever since.

Panama City off in the distance.

On the cruise, Dan and Lisa looked at pictures of Bacalar and oood and aaahd appropriately and declared that they would come visit. Given our past experience with guests, we gave each other “the look” and wink, wink and said, sure, we’d love to have you.

Staying in Playa del Carmen on our way to Bacalar.

Four years later, they’re here and I can’t believe it. We have a week of show and tell planned. There’s a boat tour of the laguna tomorrow, pyramids, the pirate fort and of course mercados and downtown. For now they’re content with sitting on the roof and taking in the view.

A jungle welcome for guests.

Can you tell we’re excited!

    How very fun!! Please tell them hello from us – wish we could meet them…

    We’ll be in Bacalar on the 12th (Dec) and my son and husband and daughter and fiancé are coming on the 23rd😊 I have had a crippling stenosis flare up – unable to do much of anything for almost 2 months – but can now travel (carefully ) so hopefully I’ll make it to Bacalar successfully..!

    Please give my love to Alice and Lisa – and your fun friends – see you soon, Lorrie

      Sorry to hear you’ve not been well. Perhaps the healing waters will give you some relief.

    We had a steady stream of visitors in Turkey. It was always great fun and we were so grateful that people took the time and effort. Enjoy! 🙂

      For us it’s been the exact opposite. Very few guests.
