Title: Hola from the Sol
Post by: flopnfly on April 22, 2006, 11:26:00 AM
Hola!!
 
 WeŽre here and weŽre having a blast already.    :D  
 
 The beach is incredible, the resort is nice and the company is fantastic.
 
 The mojitos were flowing freely yesterday as well as the cervasa, and in about half an hour weŽll start again.    :D  
 
 Karen is due to arrive momentarily and then the fun will begin all over again.
 
 Back to the beach, talk later
 
 Hola from the girls    :6:    :6:

A gent from Alberta broke the unfortunate news to Wendy.....of course the occasion called for another mojito....

 Must run....a celebrity is in our midst with a bunch of hottie pals...  :D  precious little time to waste...as far as stories, well, all I can say is the mock wedding was indeed a blast, but as they say....
 What happens in Cuba, stays in Cuba....right Shannon? LMAO

Back home now and it's freezing here, and no beach bar.      :(  
 
 I had a great time, and wish I was still there.
 
 
 My photos didn't turn out all that well, they're all blurred     :confused:   hopefully Wendy will post some of hers.

Hi everyone...sorry it took awhile...I returned to chaos in the family, but finally have photos loaded on imagestation.  I took 355 pics (gotta love digital), but I shall not bore you with them all.
 
 I apologize, I can't seem to get them in chronological order...but most of them are captioned at least.  If there's a trick for sorting, perhaps someone can advise.  
 
 I had a great time! Admittedly, our first room had even me debating a return to this property for the first two days, but they did come through for us and placed us in a wonderful new room Sunday night.  Never met so many people from so many other parts of the world, it's definitely an advantage to have a charming multilingual roomie.   :)

;)     That resort and beach look beautiful and I bet there are quite a number of female 7 Days members who wish that they had joined you there.
Title: Re: Hola from the Sol
Post by: Shine on May 04, 2006, 10:41:00 AM
Excellent photos, Donna.
 Must be a good camera, every one of those are so crystal clear and beautiful colours (even captured your eyes well).
 I miss this beach    :(    
 soon ...
 
 
 ps. I had to edit this post because I automatically spelled the above as cristal   :p
Title: Re: Hola from the Sol
Post by: mojitomiss_cuba on May 04, 2006, 10:45:00 AM
Excellent pics Donna.
 
 I could look at that beach and the colours of the water forever *sigh*
Title: Re: Hola from the Sol
Post by: millybess on May 04, 2006, 10:58:00 AM
Great pics!
 
 Is Wilmer a cockroach or a cricket?
 
 Wonderful sunrise photos.
 
 Looks like everyone had a terrific time.  :b:    :b:    :b:    :b:    :b:  
 
 Did anyone get to Playa Pilar?
Title: Re: Hola from the Sol
Post by: sunluvr on May 04, 2006, 02:01:00 PM
Shine, it's a Nikon Digital, not as nice as hubby's (right Wendy?) but it does the trick.  
 
 Millybess, Wilmer is definitely a cockroach (it's an inside joke!)    ;)    but the bug is a roach as well lmao

 Wilmer is a definite inside joke that probably wouldn't translate well  :rof:

 Playa Pilar?  Anyone?  Just curious.  :s:
Title: Re: Hola from the Sol
Post by: sunluvr on May 04, 2006, 04:16:00 PM
Actually I think Wilmer just got intimidated and confused...much to his detriment, we were forced to take the law into our own hands...poor Wilmer.lol
 
 Millybess, there's no point in lying but I will spare you the details of where I discovered him in our room!!
 
    :eek:
 
 Nobody bothered with Pilar, I don't believe...you had to pay to get there, pay for a chair, pay for a drink, and those we talked to who did go to all that trouble, said our beach was just as nice anyway.
