KARA'S STORIES: 3 Day Wrap Up

Ahh!! I got a signal on my laptop. A small one but still. It's nearly impossible for me to live without internet access so this makes me happy.
So what have we done this week so far. Okay we got here Saturday around lunch time. For some reason they believe we're on our honeymoon so we've gotten the hook up. Scott slipped the check-in guy $10 to 'see what he could do about upgrading us.' Apparently $10 goes a long way here in Mexico and we are now honeymooners.

We ate lunch then put our swimsuits on and headed for the beach! Saturday night we ate at Bordeaux, their French restaurant and it was super yummy. I was incredibly exhausted because we woke up at 4 a.m. that day so we went to bed early. We woke up yesterday and ordered breakfast from the room service. After that it was off to the gym to get in a good workout. Then out to the beach. We hung by the pool then had lunch. After lunch we went to the beach. We were our normal adventurous selves and did a little kayaking. Then a beach volleyball game started up and Scott REALLY wanted to play. So I went with him a little reluctantly. Only because I knew I would embarass myself in front of all the other people. Sure enough, I did. When it was my turn to serve, the ball went to the left about 4 inches. The people felt so bad for me they gave me another opportunity to try. It happened again....so embarassing. Well, believe it or not, the next go round I was freaking awesome. Something about being incredibly humiliated the time before did something to me. I kid you not, I became the best server on the team. I'm for real you guys. I know you don't believe me but I promise. I even scored the winning point. Yay for me. I plan on playing again many times this week.

Last night we had dinner at the seafood restaurant. It was very yummy. After that it was off to their super cool nightclub where they did about an hour of karaoke. Scott made me sing. I never like to because nobody likes the girl who can actually sing. It's like 'get off the stage, you're full of yourself we want to see the girl who sings like Cameron Diaz circa My Best Friends Wedding.' Well, anyways, he made me and I ended up singing Last Dance by Donna Summers and it sounded really good if I do say so myself. It's amazing what a lot of drinks will do to your inhibitions. I thought I WAS Donna Summers. It was fun.

So anyways I've had a lot of people come up to me today being like 'you're the karaoke girl.' I'm famous now. THEN, the 'entertainment crew' from the resort hunted me down and wants me to do their 'American Idol' show on Wednesday night. They pick they said about 8 people to do it and you win prizes for 1st and 2nd place. So looks like I'll be doing that at 9:30 on Wednesday. Say a prayer. I'm not so sure what I think about judges telling me how bad I sound. Not looking forward to that. SCAAAARRRRYYYY.

This morning we woke up and did the breakfast buffet. Then our workout again then down to get some sun. Today we stayed at the pool the whole time. Never ventured out onto the beach. It was fun and I think I ate too much food. Now it's time to get ready for dinner. Tonight---Italian!!
