wow, I found it. yay, me . Sorry, Melinda and Marita and Jaime and the rest of you guys that read this, but if I don't stop this window from popping up again soon, I'm going to totally lose it.
And, I don't make Diane cry in this episode, even though I DO have to smack her in the head.
(I know, you veddy veddy bad man)
From last September's trip, with the free dining.
This next chapter is probably going to come at you in bit's and pieces.
Cuz I just lost an hour by somehow hitting the magical " make everything go away " key. Yeah, and it might now have an edge to it.
WE ATE AT THE FRIGGIN MEXICO RESTARAUNT AND WENT BACK TO THE ROOM.
(calm down, that's not nice, calm down)
Am I the only one who loses stuff somehow? I'm serious. Does it happen to any of you?
We get off the boat ride, and go check in at the register for dinner. The place is really empty.
"Hi, we're here for our nine,,,,,
"Yes, yes, come this way please."
Diane turns to me and gives me that, " hey, can't get any better than this" look, I'm not so sure.
Something about it all just doesn't seem right.
And, besides that, something else just doesn't seem right.
With me.
Not sure what it is, all I can notice to myself is that something's not quite right. ahh, never mind (this little bit comes into play later)
Now, by now you should all know about my incredible visual acuity exploits.
My eyes are just amazing!
I can see dark, where no one else can. (I think they're just not trying)
So, on our way to the table, I saw lots of dark, I proved it by banging into 3 other defenseless tables on the way there. Now, this shouldn't have been a problem now. There was no bright sunlight to have to come in out of, but it didn't matter.
Somebody said "sit", so I sat.
It was a great table. We were right by the river, lookiing at the volcano and the pyramid, yes, those I could see. But, that was about it.
After a couple of minutes, I finally asked, "Diane? Are you there?"
"Yes honey, I'm here".
The waitress came, and handed us our menus. Then said,,,,,,
" So, are you ready to order?"
Diane laughed, "Are you kidding? You just gave us the menus."
"Oh"
And she started to walk away, obviously shook.
Diane: But we will order drinks now, if it's ok.
waitress turns back, now big smile in her voice.
"Oh, I forgot, be right back."
And she ran away again.
We just looked at each other.
Well, she looked at me, her head was right where the volcano was spewing lava, so the brightness behind her blocked out her head.
The waitress was back in 40 seconds.
"Hokay, you ready to order now?"
I saw the outline of Diane's head wave back and forth, and then she ordered a margarita.
I said "ditto"
"OH, you want a ditto?" "How would you like your ditto?"
ok, she didn't really say that, I probably would have jumped in the river if she did, but she did just stand there and look at me.
" I'll have a margarita,too."
"Oh, you want two margarita's?"
"No, well, yes. Geesh. " "One margarita for me, and one for my wife."
"Hokay?"
That river was starting to look better and better.
We had about 3 minutes to read the menu before she was back.
Sans drinks.
I had been trying to hold the little candle thing up to the menu to see it, Diane was hanging over the railing trying to read by the glow of the lava.
Luckily, we had read the menu's on All ears net, and pretty much knew what we wanted.
I had the combinacion platter, I think she had a steak thing, mexican style going on, I could be wrong though.
I don't remember what she ordered for an appetizer. Could have been aardvark for all I could see.
I ordered a floodlight.
At about this time, I should say that I'm not the best person you want to have critiqueing a Mexican style eatery. I have gotten better over the years, I really hated this food for a long time, but, to me, it's all still "GLOP"
Having ordered, we pretend to light a smoke, well, that's what we used to do after you make your order, and enjoy it with your drink.
Oh, that's right. So far we are pretending to drink, too.
Our drinks were there in less than 3 minutes.
Chips and salsa were there 1.6 minutes later.
Appetizers arrived 2.5 minutes after that.
Not five minutes went by and she's wheeling out the entee cart to us.
I thought Diane was going to go through the roof!
Hey! we haven't even started yet on the appetizers! Don't even think about putting that stuff on our table. Why don't you just bring us some corn flakes and milk and we'll take care of breakfast too, while we're at it!"
I had a reasonably good idea that the sarcasm was lost on the waitress, but I loved the line, and gave wifey a high five.
Which of course hit her in the forehead.
About ten minutes later, the food was wheeled out to us again. And , no, they didn't ask if we were ready, they just decided that it was time to "pop" it up to us again. Kinda like Rosie O'donnel on tv.
From what I could see, my plate was just packed. I'm not convinced that instead of putting the food back under the warmers, when we first rejected it, that they just didn't pile on more stuff that was still hot on top.
I'm starving. A combination platter lets me be safe, gotta be something I'll like. Right?
I tried the glop on a tortilla. Not bad.
I tried the glop in a tortilla. Not bad.
The glop baked with different kinds of glop, they're all cousins, that was supposed to stay in the tortilla, but wouldn't. Some of the cousins tried to escape down my arm. Not bad
The hermetically sealed glop that you could actually pick up with your hands, and eat it soforth, as long as you didn't try to put it back down again.
If you did, all the runaway glop from the lesser species would infiltrate, and your hermetically sealed glop would now have a "glop" coating, rendering it useless to try to pick up again.
Where was I?
Oh.
Not bad!
Let's see. Am I shortchanging any glop here?
Oh yes!
Refried glop! And this was bad. I could barely see it, I just knew to avoid "Nine O'clock" on the plate.
I had meant to re-critique Diane on how she felt about her meal, but,,,,,,,I forgot.
Don't worry though, if I'm off base on something here, I think she'll let you know!
During dinner, I looked around, and we were the only ones in there.! Honest, really truly. And it felt like they couldn't get rid of us fast enough, so they could close up.
I had no problem with the food, and believe me, there was plenty of it, I didn't come close to finishing, neither did Diane. But the service totally sucked.
I don't know. Maybe if there were more folks there eating, there might have been a few more lights on. If a romantic dinner is what you have in mind, then this place is for you. Just remember;
You might find out that whom you're leaving with isn't who you came in with.
and with that I'm going to say "menyana" night guys
I think that would have been worse than forgetting the tickets.
he's my honey bunny.
I am all caught up with the exploits of Nebo and
Took away her bullet
to both of you.
sacrilege!
