GBP Coba, Saturday - Day 4

Piscina
Since it was the Bitz's last day, we hung out by the quiet pool all day hoping to get some color. (It's also Barbara's last day, but she went to the ruins and to the beach.) Mrs. B. got pretty red. Barbara didn't get much color at all.

Mrs. Bitz and I went to the Coba beach and walked the whole beach, then came back to the pool.

Mr. Bitz was sick all day and now Mom & Dad got sick too.

Aunt Phyllis, Wish You Were Here!
Everyone has been sick and they usually stay in their rooms (well, that is typical for my mom). I think you and I are the only one's who don't do that. (Although I did get the Flu at Secrets on the last day, but it poured rain all day and there was nothing to do anyhow.)

Uncle Gene, I had Some Soup for You
Everyone has been sick and I believe that soup cures you, so I started eating soup for lunch. They had some good choices such as Lentil, Minestrone and Onion. I know that you enjoyed your soup in Punta Cana and thought of how you would have enjoyed these.

Cockroach
When I went back to my room, there was a cockroach in the hallway and I didn't want it to come into my room, so I knocked on Housekeepings door. When no one answered, I opened the door and saw a broom, which I helped myself to and flung the cockroach across the floor to the other side. Let him visit someone else! LOL

Management Cocktail Party 2
I had to give Luis a hard time because this was the second time we went and it was canceled. He was really upset because they misunderstood his direction and announced it at the end of the show the other day, but they should not have because he wanted to promote it more and send out letters first. When Annemarie couldn't reach him at first, I joked that we should send him an e-mail because he would respond faster.

Annemarie got me a really fun ring for my birthday (that I put on right away as it matched my outfit). She also got me a beautiful necklace and earing set that is silver and it has purple stones. That was so nice of her.

Annemarie and Luis were embarrassed about my birthday dinner. I didn't know what they were talking about because I thought it was great, but I guess they ordered me a special cake with my name on it and it never was delivered. I never would have known if they didn't tell me. We had champagne and a heart shaped cake, which was great. They want to do something to make up for it, which is ridiculous and unnecessary. Since Mr. Bitz wasn't feeling well and couldn't go to dinner, they offered to send food to his room. Now, this is service!

I introduced Annemarie and Luis to my parents and Mrs. Bitz. We chatted for a bit before we had to head to dinner.

Arlequin
We had dinner reservations for Mr. B's birthday at the Arlequin. Barbara met us there. When we sat down, I noticed a guy eating alone, so I invited him to join us, but he was almost finished. It was freezing in there! The restaurant is very nice and was located at the Akumal resort. Since Mr. B. didn't show up, they thought it was my dad's birthday and brought him a cake and a napkin birthday hat and a flaming cucaracha shot like I had the other night. It was very funny.

Treats
When we returned to our rooms after dinner, we each had 2 platters of desserts. My dad also had a full bottle of LTD. Luis treats us too good!

Band at Premiere Lobby
On our way back to the room, we noticed a band playing music at the Premiere lobby, so we decided to go there for a while. Even Mr. B. joined us. The band was good. Mom & Mr. B. danced a little, and were hoping to hear their song, but they decided to go back because they had to leave in the morning. Just after they left, they played it...."Old Time Rock & Roll."

The Bitz's were sad that they were leaving. I knew they would be.
