Day 5 - October 7 - RIU Caribe

Always sad to leave. Got up, got ready, went to breakfast. Sat and enjoyed our balcony a little bit longer.

Now, we are sitting in the lobby waiting for our pick-up. I will be home to see Harley soon!

Mom Reading Her Book

Red Flag Day

Day 4 - October 6 - RIU Caribe

Mom has been sleeping a lot! Not sure if she really likes the beds or is bored.

Breakfast
We went to the buffet again and then off to the pool. I put our towels out before we went.

Pool
I didn't pick the best spots because my chair had no sun until about 11:30 a.m. It was super windy agan today and it was also a red flag day. Mom was bored out of her mind. I kept asking her if she wanted to do something, but she said we would just relax. She said she was going to the lobby, but last night when I was in the lobby, she wanted to go to the room! Hmmm!

Lunch
I told mom to wait till after lunch at least and then she could go up. We went to the buffet again, and I stayed out a while longer.

R&R
I went back to the room and sat out on the balcony while mom took a nap. When the sun couldn't reach the balcony anymore, then I went in and took a nap too.

Again, I had a hard time getting mom up. She finally got up at 5:00 to get ready.

Lobby
We came down to the lobby to blog, and there are new vendors here today. One guy personalized a shot glass for me to keep as a souvenir.

We were approached by two very drunk guys who were lookng for a middle aged (around 43! Uggh) with a beard. Gee, think there are any people who look like that here! LOL

European
We had a dinner reservation for 9:30 p.m. We were sitting in the lobby for a while when I decided to go to the steak house to see if they could take us earlier. The dining room manager was so nice. He said that he could accommodate us.

Steak House
We got the best seat in the house with a great view. The menu is the same as the RIU Tequila, but we liked it. They gave us Sangria as a welcome drink. I do love Sangria. Tipsy after two glasses though.

Host
The Host from the buffet restaurant saw us eating dinner and stopped by to say "Hi!" He said he didn't recognize me without my sunglasses. LOL They are my trademark.
