Fuck hurricane Wilma.
We landed in Caucun at 1am Moday morning.
Monday afternoon layed on the sunny beach. Drank. Went to the market to buy some jewelery. Went to the Coco Bongo. Biggest bar I have ever been in my life. It was like a stadium, with an open bar. Stage show and all. Every 2 minutes there was either confetti, bubbles, smoke, long baloons (to later make baloon animals), or big oversized baloons in the air.
Tuesday had overcast. Hung out by the pool. Had lots of drinks. Went for a late night run around on the beach in our undies, well me and michelle anyway.
Wednesday morning got up early and went on boat tour. Got sunburnt. Went snorkling.
By Wednesday afternoon we heard that there was a possiblity that the hurricane was coming to cancun. The hotel was posting that we whould know by 9 am thursday if we would have to be evacuated to an area in cancun or not.
Wednesday 6pm the Dave and Brandee's wedding had been called off because they couldn't do it outside and the judge wouldn't come out to perform the ceremony inside the hotel lobby.
Wednesday night had some drinks poolside. Didn't feel well because of sun burn. Phoned home to tell mom what was going on. Lots of people were checking out of the hotel. The staff were bringing in all the chairs and light fixtures from outside.
Went to bed that night. Some people were thinking of going home. The hotel told us we would know by 9am if we needed to evacuate.
7am woke up to phone call. Frank told us that the hotel was being evacuated. Got ready, and packed. Downstairs in the lobby by 8am. Had a bit of breakfast in the restaurant. Windows were being tapped and every single piece of furniture in the lobby and outside was gone. 8:45 Bus arrived to take us to airport, where our travel agency had got us emergency flights out. Everyone who couldn't get on a plane by 2pm was stuck in Cancun. Everyone who couldn't get a flight or wanted to wait out the storm was being moved to an arena in Cancun somewhere.
Got to the airport by 10:15. Got our boarding passes at 10:45. Got a bite to eat and some last minute duty free purchases in the airport. Got ready for boarding at 11:15. The plane took off at a 12:15ish. The airport closed at 2.
A lot of the flights were cancelled even by the time we got there.
I'm glad we got out when we did.
I've been watching CNN and the eye of the hurricane is about to hit Cancun directly for the next day or two. A lot of the tourists are being put into schools and arenas, with barely anything with them. At our hotel we were told we couldn't bring clothes only Money, Passport, flight papers, toiletries, meds, 1 blanket and 1 pillow.
