We hope everyone had a Happy New Year. Barry and I danced in the New Year out under the stars with the sound of the surf crashing on the beach. It was a lovely time and all the better because we could share it with Bruce, Marg., Karen, Monty and Chantal. We have spent the last week lazing about on the beach, using the unlimited water and shower facilities in Bruce and Marg s room, and chowing down at the all you can eat buffet almost everynight. I can understand now how people put on weight on cruises and all inclusive resorts. It has been a lovely holiday from being on the boat.

The Br. Lange family is headed home today and we are headed further south. We would probably take the day to rest up from the festivities last night but a great wind is predicted tonight and they don{t come along that often here, so off we go. We will take 4 or 5 days to get to Ziahua and then renew our acquaintances there. I am looking forward to doing that. We spent 6 weeks there last year and really enjoyed ourselves.

I am on a really old computer at Las Hadas resort so I am not going to attempt to put any pictures on. Hope all is well with everyone and don{t forget to keep in touch.
