part of the corny first show

here is our lovely host

On the seventh day we check out more of the resort and ate at the Havana moon again. We took a few awesome pictures around the resort... i love how blue the ocean is there. Then we were scheduled to go to a show called "Pirate Assault" And let me tell you that is a great name for it, because at quite a few points during the show, i truly felt assaulted. First of all we didn't realize we were going to an interactive show. We thought it was a typical dinner show where you eat and watch.... Not so here. First you're on the boat going to an island called Isla Mujeres. So they ask everyone to tell where they are from. Then they do a corny/slapstick kind of show that borders on too risque.... So right off the bat, Michele and i are feeling a little on edge - thinking "oh crap what have we got ourselves into." Anyway then we get to the island and it seems fine. Dinner is really good and they had great desserts too. But then, the the drinking games start.....ya sounds really bad. Well they did do a bit of singing and dancing for the audience, but in between the show they did these really bad games where the loser has to drink a shot or two of tequila. Not to mention that now we are trapped on this island and the only way back is the boat we came on. Then come to find out they don't dock back in Cancun until 11pm (which we didn't realize how late is was going to last - it started at 6:30).... it was now around 9. So Michele and I are just freaking out in our minds about how long this night is going to last..... A few times during the "show" they called everyone up to the stage to dance, which isn't too bad because it's a big group. But those darn drinking games sucked because me and Michele were in fear of being called up. And we were also afraid of what the next game was going to be..... plus it's on open "free" bar so most people are a bit tipsy by then. So then on the last game.... IT happens..... the announcer is looking for 3 girls to come up and points to me and says "Utah"!!! Well I am NOT under any circumstances, except force, going up there for anything! So i shake my head.... Some people around try to get me to go up, and even one of the pirate girls comes over to encourage me, but i am not going anywhere near that stage I tell you!!!! So i don't. Whew!! Then i find out that Randy, Michele's husband was pointing to me when they were calling people up! He thought it would be funny.... well anyway if it wasn't a drinking game i probably would have went up, but that is just not me. John on the other hand was having a ball!! He likes that kind of thing minus the drinking of course. So we survived all in one piece and were glad to get back to Cancun!!! (at least Michele and i were anyway)
