I forgot to mention how beautiful the weather was while we were there. We couldn't have asked for it to be any nicer. It did rain on our last evening before dinner, but it only lasted a short time.
I think that mom and I might need a relaxing vacation after this one!
Did I mention that the photo at the top of the blog of the beach and ocean is one of my own photos that I took in the Riviera Maya?

Our Final Day
I didn't get much sleep because at 1:30 a.m. I noticed that Sam wet the bed. So, I had to make him get up and changed, and put some towels down so we could get back to bed. I kept looking at the clock to see what time it was.
Breakfast
We ate our farewell breakfast at the buffet.
Final Check of Our Room
We went back to the room and got the last of our stuff together. Mom's bag is ridiculous and kept falling over. We called the Bell Boy to come, and we gave him the broken suitcase.
Best Day Transfers
I noticed at about 10 minutes to 10:00 a.m. that my transfer document still said the RIU Playacar, so I called our Rep, but they said they would give hime the message. When 10:00 a.m. rolled around, I got nervous and called again because our pick-up was supposed to be earlier, but I pushed it back since we were First Class. Just as I was calling the RIU Playacar back (and speaking to a very rude person at Reception) they showed up. Best Day was great with their transfer service. The drivers were not like Speedy Gonzalez!
Airport Check-In
Check-In was a breeze and we got a wheel chair again for mom. The guy took us through Security (where we were delayed momentarily while they searched Sydney's bag because she brought scissors with her). I can't believe that they didn't catch them at O'Hare. When we got to our seats, I realized that amongst the confusion that I left my laptop backpack on the conveyor belt and had to run back to retrieve it.
Boarding
We all got our bags checked before boarding the plan except for Sam. I think it's because he's Mexican.
The Airplane
Sam and Sydney each had their own window seat this time. Sam was so tired, but he wouldn't fall asleep.
Mas Wheel Chairs
There were 6 people waiting for wheel chairs from our airplane. They weren't there yet, so we had to wait a few minutes. Then, the guy was going to push 2. I don't see how you can push two wheel chairs. Luckily, another guy came. We were at the farthest terminal, so we had to walk very far. Mom wouldn't have made it, but surprisingly, the kids did.
We breezed through Customs because mom was in the wheel chair. Our luggage was also some of the first to come offf the plane. We grabbed it and we were on our way.
Pick-Up
Patty and John were waiting for us inside when we walked out the doorway. John noticed Sydney and started waving.
The kids were really wound up on the way home after seeing their parents.
Sydney
I doubt that Sydney will still want to continue with her plan of staying with us a lot this summer after this trip. She doesn't like to have to keep track of her stuff like I expected her to do.
Next Vacation
It won't be anytime soon as that was exchausting. We told Sydney and Sam that they have to save up their own money for the next one. They would love it if their parents would go.
