We woke up this morning around 9:00am, after having gone to bed around 1:00. We got a good first night's sleep, and I'm starting to feel well adjusted to the 12-hour time difference. :)
We went downstairs to the fantastic breakfast buffet in the hotel, then strolled around the grounds of the hotel a bit to get acquainted. It's a gorgeous resort! I took a few photos of the pool area, as well as the beach area which opens up into the lagoon

I was very eager to get in a good workout this morning. It felt great to take a good, long, fast walk on the treadmill after having sat in a plane for more than 18 hours! The gym was very nice, and had a great view!
the view from the treadmill - very pretty to look out from!
After working out, Dick, Paula, Reeves and I laid out by the poor for a bit, and had a nice, relaxing afternoon. The weather was so nice - low 80s, but not hot at all. We had lunch outside on the patio.
A Coke and a smile
This is fun - I used the maps app on my phone to get an areal view of where our hotel is located on the Palm Island. :)
here we are!
We're all taking a bit of a rest now before the wedding festivities begin this evening.
