Cancun smells like the Jeep

So Umma sent me and Uncle Brian downstairs to blog. I don't think she's going to be prepared for what to expect from this.

Anyway, our trip was preceded by a night of stressful packing and throwing stuff together at the last minute. During this frantic period, James, the scholarship-winning Garbagnati, decides it's a good idea to play with the hamster. And by "play with," I mean drop. This resulted in half of our family on the ground with flashlights looking under furniture. Good times. We eventually found her, and then I introduced her to Bruce, which probably scared both of them equally.

We went to sleep at like 3 only to wake up at 4 and spend a good 12 hours traveling. Awesome. I slept through approximately 98% of the three flights it took to get us here. I deserve an award. Oh, PS- I was in the center for every leg of the trip, too, and I still managed to sleep through it all. I rock.

Hmm, what else... I'm not as good at thorough, novel-esque blogging as Alea is, so I feel like everything I'm saying is incoherent and irrelevant. Um. Oh, speaking of Alea, Umma says to tell you we miss you.

OH, fun moments in getting here:
-We had to fill out like three forms each, as opposed to the customary one form per person.
-Because of the concerns regarding swine flu, one of the forms we had to fill out was a sheet assesssing our health. Apparently, Uncle Brian also had his temperature taken. Lawlz
-They had to check a few of our bags because they saw food. They opened it to find this:
We are officially the Asian-est family in existance. The guy opened the bag, saw this, looked at us, looked back at the bag, looked at us again, and finally said something to the effect of, "I think you guys are fine." And we were allowed to go. :)

Then we went to the place and made some of that lovely Ramen and looked like this:

We also had Salami, but I'm afraid of Google Image searching "Salami love"


Anyway, that's about it for today.

And Uncle Brian needs to find a place in Cancun that will be showing the Laker Game tomorrow. Go Lakers!

Aaaand we'll end with this:


By the way, it took James like 293874293 times to figure out how to take that picture, because apparently he was born in the 1890's. Good thing he got that Computer award.

Until tomorrow,
Mia & Uncle Brian
