When I heard at the Casino that Erin and Keri were in acceptable accommodations that came out to $12 a night, I was momentarily jealous until I remembered Cancun.
Then
One of our first trips was to Cancun, because there was a poster by our house: “Cancun! 5 nights from $200!” Including airfare. I jumped on that deal and off we were to Cancun. In August. We didn’t care about the heat, because how could it be worse than Saint Louis in August?
We took our first breaths of Cancun air and realized why you don’t go to Cancun in August. Cancun at that time had darling little parks and ponds on every highway median, ponds filled with strangely muddy water. It was a cleverly disguised open-air sewage system. And in August, the sun cooks the sewage, and there is no breeze to blow it away.
We stayed in the Hotel Cancun, where there were lizards.
(That lizard is fake, but there were real ones, I swear. Gary’s ribcage is real.)
You can’t find the Hotel Cancun anymore, at least not the one we stayed in, because they were tearing it down. With a wrecking ball.
Now
So, nowadays whenever I think, “I can save some money if I stay here – ” I remember Cancun. And then I stay someplace overpriced, even if I can’t afford it.

I don’t know why I wanted to take a photo of this plastic bag, but you are looking at possibly the first known photo of Spunky Labia, International Toe Porn Superstar.
Modern Day Spunky takes a dip in the river a few yards from Niagara Falls …

I’m secretly freaked out by feet, so I almost didn’t make it to the end, but I soldiered on for you. Hotel looks awesome.
Candy. – feet are a beautiful and natural part of being a woman.
Heh. Yeah, we lucked out this time, so it’s worth bragging about. Keri and I have stayed in worse. Actually, a lot worse. No lizards, but non-working showers and stained sheets (which is just creepy). Still, five nights in Cancun for $200? That’s amazing. Even if it did smell like crap.
Erin – DAMNittohell. Can I just call Kristy/Keri “AThousandDreams”? I could do that. And, do not underestimate the never-ending smell of crap in Mexico in August.
You could play it like my dad and call all of my friends Emily. Or usual conversation goes like this:D: How’s Emily?E: Portland Emily or another Emily?D: The one who’s a vet.E: Oh, that’s Kim. And she’s a phlebotomist.
keri/kristy/emily/athousanddreams are all acceptable. . . ill answer to any of themmy family/friends from before college all call me Paige which is my middle name which is what everyone called me till i got to college and decided my first name should actually be the name people call me. . .before i had any choice in the matter, my parents decided calling me paige would be easier than keri because kerry is also my dads name and paige keri just didnt have quite the same ring to iti apologize for the novella
Erin – Gary gives his own nicknames my friends. “Red” “Bird” “Twins” “The black one” “Boots” “Flirt” and Marcia – He did bother to learn Marcia’s name.1KDreams – No, it’s a good novella. I enjoyued it, 1K / Paige / Keri
