Posted by corki on 03/09/03

Since I have been posting for the last 6 weeks I think a recap is in order.
Arriving on the ship and getting off in Coz was a breeze...it was fun to watch the rest of the group sail off for Ft. Lauderdale and know we were staying in Coz...
Some of our favorite restuarants are now closed but we tried some new ones and weren't dissapointed. Had a few dinners at the old stand by's such as Prima's, French Quarter, La Choza, El Capi Navigante, Sonora Grill, La Parrochia, Casa Denis to name a few. Had lunch almost every day at Hogtown Cafe at Papa Hogs. Also couldn't pass up Mezcalitos on the other side a couple of times...plus stops at Bonita for drinks. Many nights we opted for BBQ Chicken from the rotissere on 30th at Calle 15. For $6.00 a full chicken, pasta, rice, tortillas,sauce and shredded lettuce.  Some nights after a big lunch we just popped popcorn and watched a video. Enjoyed La Parilla on 10th just north of La Choza and on the same side just down the street a small eatery Ecomomica ? which was also very good. Kelly's which is new and right across the street had pretty good fish and chips and mexican dishes.  We also hit the taco place on 30th across from the San Francisco grocery store for the 80 cent taco's...great food and low prices.
Had one of the best Pizza's I have ever had at Steph's house the first week we were on the Island. She has a beautiful new home and her husband is adorable...
Spent most of my days on the beach at either Papa Hogs or next door at the Villa Blanca Beach. Made a bunch of new friends and managed to read an all time high of 14 books.....The BBQ was a blast and so much fun catching up with the others from Travelnotes....thanks Jidan for the T Shirts.
Doug finished his dive instructors course with Mike at Papa Hogs and was rewarded with a whipped cream pie in his face after taking his  last skill test....he never saw it coming.
We stayed at the Villa Forte and were pleased with the cleanliness and comfort.  I understand that Jim is going to rent the house on a long term lease....which makes me sad since I would love to rent it again. He had an amazing library of National Geographic videos and we spent many an evening watching them.
It was sad saying our goodbye's after a five week stay but I know we will be back soon since we left many projects undone including helping out Susan and the kids at a local school..This is something we wanted to do but didn't realize how tied up Doug would be.  But we will be back...
Trip home was uneventful until we flew into Dallas...the flight was delayed for over an hour and we missed out connection in Salt Lake City and had to spend the night. So we left Cozumel on March 6th at 12:30 pm and arrived home in Spokane on March 7th at 1:00 p.m.  Oh the joys of living in an area that doesn't have non stop flights...but we survived and are already planning our next trip.....
