The vacation was pretty good but not great. We normally stay at Melia or Riu for all-inclusives, but went with a more "affordably priced" resort about $400-600 cheaper than the Melia next door. A much smaller place. As expected, the people were great, but the food, drinks and rooms were.... well... meh. The best tequila they had was about 1 inch of Cazadores Reposado left in a bottle and they did not get another bottle when it ran out about 2 days in. For reference, I drink (sip, not shoot) Cazadores Anejo at home. We all agreed that while the other Melia was MUCH nicer (we took a tour of it), it was not worth a 50% uplift in price.

Shavewise, the Sensor was more than adequate but it's good to be back to a DE.

All in all, as Tim would say, Life is Good!

More fun* shoveling this morning. At least I did enough to be able to get the car out of the garage, but it's too heavy for me to do the full driveway. *ugh* The shower'n'shave that followed was much nicer than the outdoors work.
