Leo(Chris), Lins and Duc
Drinking Game 'Stuntman 1'
Drinking Game 'Stuntman 2'Hiya Everyone
As you can see from the pics Ive been out and about meeting the locals!!!! I had chill day on Friday, explored the complex and found the pool and hot tub so chilled here for while. Lins back from work and we headed off for food while we waited for Duc to finish work. We met her Mam and Dad in parking lot and we went for Cuban food, really nice slightly different to mexican. Me and Lins got samples of all the dips from cool to hot hot hot!!!! Some were vile but thought our Steven would have like some of these defo he got mouth of steel when comes to hot stuff!! Lins Mam and Dad are so cool and really chatty, her mam just wanted me to talk and talk cos loves the accent. You know me I obliged ha ha!!!!!
Friday night after Duc and Lins (first pic they on the right) finished work, they had arranged to meet up with few of Duc's friends down the local beach bars. Duc was in the Navy but now a civvy, Leo (Chris real name) and Paul still in the navy and Derek now works with Duc in a luggage store. We went first to Irish bar and band on, they were really loud and there was a few locals doing there thing in there (dancing that is!!!) Paul bit of a ladies man, has overheard two english girls at the bar and was like ' Kaye come with me need you as my secret weapon to get to talk to these girls as they were surrounded by other men and Paul thought I was his way in!. Me and Lins just laughed as said 'Yeah like me being from England gonna give you a head start!!'
Cant believe I couldnt get into one of the bars cos I didnt have ID - big thing over here regardless of age you need some photo ID, was bit shocked when guy on door said, 'No ID you cant come in!!'. Luckily for me we went to two other bars and the guys at door were great, they let me in without ID, one guy did say 'Yeah you do look over 21 you can go in!!!' So photo ID a must for any future travellers out there if heading to these sunny climbs!!! The choice of alcohol not too bad here and was about $6 (3quid sos Duc laptop not got english sign), so I partook of a few shandies!!!. During this time Duc had been talking to us about the English Navy and how they can drink (Yep Dennis (My step-Dad) you good example of this tradition and Daniel (our Kellys boyfriend) continuing it ha ha) He told us about drinking game above 'The Stuntman'. You take a line of salt and sniff it up your nose, then take shot of tequila, then squeeze lemon into your eye!!!! (Not my idea of fun but hey the guys were up for it as you can see from pics!!!)
This was good to watch but Leo did say not too good for the eyes later!!!! A lady who walked past our table was like ' Hey these guys are doing coke!!!' Bar man said ' No lady its salt, I gave them it honest!!!' I was thinking holy s*** here we go again crazy americans and Im gonna end up in jail for the night for doing salt in a bar!!!!

Left about 1.45am and we had to go to 'Corner Store' for more alcohol as a poker game was the next item on the agenda. Back at Paul's and Leo's game set up I aint played before and thought, wish Julie UCC had taught me then I could have whoooped ar**, so I chose to be observer. Lins played well and took the pot, hey us girls can rock!!!! Home about nearly 4am, crashed in pit!!!
Saturday, Duc had to work, me and Lins headed off for some retail therapy and to meet her Mam and Dad who were at an art fair in town. Weather glorious and just cant believe three weeks ago I needed thermals now I dont need much clothing at all!!!!!! Had lovely day, saw some fab art work (Stephen and Tracy E you would have loved this!!!) Lins Mam and Dad make wooden puppets they are fab and really colourful. Night time we chilled out cos had to be up early to go to Disneyworld Orlando about two half hours away, Im soooooooooooooooooooooo excited to go, dont think I 'll sleep, be like that advert we have back home with the kids and mam and dad before they leave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take care folks and Mickey Mouse here I come. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Kaye, Sarah here from A & E reception. It looks as if you are really enjoying yourself. I liked the bit you wrote about the salt, and worried about getting locked up for doing salt in a bar. I couldn't stop laughing, Julie wondered what I was laughing about. Well not much going on here at the moment but just thought I'd write a little note to let you know I have been reading you blog. Write to you again sometime, enjoy yourself.
Sarah
