Like the true MN State Fairgoers we are, Nick, Whitney, Kristen, Curtis (!!!), and I kicked on the season on Day 1. Traffic nearing the fairgrounds became a backed up nightmare. Previous experience has taught us to abort Mission Park-at-the-Fair and find the nearest free Park and Ride. The first one we drove by had a mile long line of people waiting to get on a bus, so we kept driving. Whitney led us to a suspiciously empty P&R, and after some googling we came to the conclusion that it operated on weekends and Labor Day only. Seriously, they need better signage on site. A handful of us left, but some stubborn people stayed back and waited for a shuttle that would never come.
Mexico, Parte Tres
So apparently when all you do is wake up, eat, sit by the beach/pool, eat, go back to the beach/pool, eat, and go to bed, there isn’t much to blog about. That and blogging from my iPad really wasn’t as easy and convenient as I thought it would be.
So let me sum up the rest of my vacation in one short and sweet post

Mexico, Parte Dos (Feliz Navidad!)
Celebrating Christmas in Mexico was a wonderful thing. First, no snow. Second, temps back home were an all time low of sub zero. Third, no commuting in snow and sub zero tempuratures. Decorations here were really subdued. There were some Christmas tree cutouts standing around that I wouldn’t have noticed had people not pointed them out. Staff in Santa hats for the three days we’ve been here were the only obvious clue that it was Christmastime.Read More →
Mexico, Parte Uno
The Saturday before Christmas, I left for Mexico with Curtis, Kristen, Kristen’s friend Julie, and Julie’s sister Debbie. The flight went smoothly. Well, as smoothly as a flight can go with a medical emergency. An older gentleman became unresponsive about an hour out of MSP. An attendant made an announcement requesting if there were any medical professionals on board, to please come to aisle 15. They managed to lay the man down in the aisle and get him oxygen. They also had the defibrillator at the ready. Kristen thought for sure they would land the plane to get him help, especially since we were bound for another country, but for whatever reason, we chugged on to our final destination.Read More →
