Our last day in Mexico, and we woke up to the above!   With an evening flight, we made the most of our day …

FunJet sent us to the Grand Palladium resort in the Riviera Maya, and between 11 restaurants and 6+ pools, you can find something to do for the entire family!

For our last day, we spent more time at the pool:

We also enjoyed a stroll along the beach and a quick bite to eat in a few places.

One thing we noticed a lot of?  Extended families, all vacationing together, from the grandparents all the way down to the babies.  FunJet can take care of it all!

I also did my best to channel Kenny Chesney here:

FunJet Vacations is definitely the way to vacation with ease —- details on how YOU can be here soon!

We’re in Chicago Ridge tonight, Hillside next Tuesday,  and Des Plaines next Wednesday … register between 8-9pm, play starts at 9pm with 16 randomly-selected teams!   Full details HERE.

Our US*99.5 Oasis kicks off at Noon, Luke Bryan is on stage at 3pm, and then the party rolls on inside the stadium.  Tickets are still available, full details HERE.

** I noticed that Friday is the cut-off, no more analog TV.  Do you understand it all?  Me neither, but it got me thinking … do you think there’s anyone still watching a B&W tv, embracing the old-school flavor?

Let’s talk about it this afternoon, after 3pm!
