    The weeks leading up to Christmas are usually quiet, at least that has been our experience when we have been there for our anniversary.

    Each trip I get more and more lazy

    Sunday I got down to pool around 12:15pm. I purchased 2 cans of ballashi from the lobby store and grabbed a Chicken Salad sandwich from deli. I did not eat breakfast just herbal tea in room. The water was freezing cold! The pool about half full but the beach full. I don't see much people in the beach water. The waves do look ruff but it's a shallow beach water as high as knees. I hung out at pool for about 2 hours. I went to room around 230, showered and took a nap.

    I met with Andrea and Paul, plus another couple from forum for Happy Hour at the resort I'm staying at Divi Phoenix. We had a Good time. It's always great to meet forum members which is something that Probably does not occur on FB groups. After everyone left, I had a few more mojitos and a steak sandwich on a baguette with sweet potato fries. Back in the room I had a night cap and in bed by 9pm.

    Monday I woke up around 8am. I was not hungry so I skipped breakfast. I had herbal tea and took my medications. I then convinced myself to hit the gym which my Physical Therapist reccomended. I did 10 minutes of biking hip pain free. I did a lot of free weights exercises with light weights 5 and 10 pounds for around 10 to 15 minutes. I worked on some machines for hip abductor, leg raises. In total a 30 minute work out. Afterwards I grabbed a croisant breakfast sandwich from deli around 1130am headed for pool at 1230 to 230.

    I went to Managers cocktail party at 5pm to 6pm. I headed for Bavaria at 6pm. I ran into Andrea and Paul. They asked me to join them which I did. We all had the chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce which I highly reccomend.

    So far this trip my hip pain issues have been very mild and no stomach issues except for first day. I ate on the plane, drank a lot of booze on mint flight. When I was in my room I developed very strong cramps.I thought my appendix was going to burst but I eventually went to bathroom and was fine afterwards and ready for happy hour. I've been drinking a lot of water during my pool hours. I think that may be helping me plus I worked out. Looking forward to the gym again on Wed.

    Glad you're having a mostly pain free, good time with plenty of rest. It's always fun to meet up with forum members.
