But it’s not too nice to steal soap from

Sunday, March 17th, 2013

If it’s not readily apparent, I didn’t have internet on this trip so the fragments of blog posts and tweet drafts saved on my phone will find new life here in the the form of the post-trip posts. Would be tweets will be indicated as such.

It’s not like this place didn’t have Wi-fi. It had everything. But we just didn’t want to pay the $95 fee for a week’s internet. But seriously, this place had everything under the sun you wish a resort had. (And it was still being expanded. We could actually see deforestation from our room.) There was a lazy river, beachfront, in-pool bar, all of which I used.

Also, stemmed glasses. They came with the room and class up anything you put in them. Water, juice, milk, whatever. You could put moonshine in a wineglass; it’ll immediately stop being moonshine and become whatever the French name for moonshine is.

I also ate a good, but small-portioned meal off of an oblong rectangular plate. Because round plates are for poor people.

Room service

Thursday, March 14th, 2013

I flipped shit the first (and only) time we ordered room service. I guess I just wasn’t used to food presented to me on non-cardboard.

“Oh my god, this chip is a bowl. This chip is a bowl and it’s filled with guacamole.”

“You guys! They Saran-wrapped our water glasses. They made sure we had water of maximum freshness!”

“They served the lettuce and tomato separately from your burgers? Somebody does care!”

“I think these fries were individually salted!”
