Excellence Playa Mujeres July/Aug 2017 - We're here!!!

Day 1! - long long day!!! We were up at 3.30am ready to meet our friends Fiona & Marcus Keeble at 5.15 for the drive to Gatwick.  A fairly speedy check in and I headed straight for duty free (got not one, but two 22% discount vouchers and a £5 off voucher) happy days!!!!

We then headed to Jamie Olivers for breakfast - we get No 1 club lounge in with our premium tickets but I hate it!).  The boys had 'The Full Monty' breakfast, Fiona and myself had lighter bites washed down with prosecco - somehow drinking alcohola at 7 in the morning seems ok on holiday!!!!









Our flight took off 15 minutes late - and was exactly 9.5 hours!!! Can't beat the Dreamliner!  I'll do a full Dreamliner report on the blog later.

After seeing Jill & Dale Bradley behind us at Immigration, Kevin was busting a gut to get to EPM before them!!! We hit the Red light and after taking a cursory look at our 7 bags (yep 7!!!!) we were on our way!!!

Carolina greeted us with a huge hug at checkin, and Fiona & Marcus arrived 5 minutes after us.

Then the loooooooong wait for Dale & Jill lol!!!! We were on our 4th glass of fizz when they turned up!!  Seems like Blue Bay had forgotten to book their transfer again! Third time!!! No such problems with our fab booking and fantastic TA - Nic at Beaches 4 Less.



On arrival at our room, I was pleased to see that All of our room requests were granted, the room looked lovely with champers on ice and our welcome home gifts.



We had a Quick unpack, nap, then we headed to the martini bar then what was my least fav restaurant - Agarve - not any more! Fantastic meal of garlic mushrooms, and a stuffed chilly pepper dish - fabulous!!! 



The fantastic female mariachi singers were there to serenade us.



We drank at least 4 bottles of red between us - it was now 3am uk time, and I was really feeling it! So early night where I slept through to 6.30mx time! Looking forward to today!!!!!
