The Mexican Diaries: The Players

Before I wow you with stories of our grand adventures in Manzinillo, I thought I should introduce the characters in these stories. Think of it as a sort of who's who of the Los Hadas Resort. Plus I don't want to have to explain who they are every time I mention their names. So...of course you all know me, the leading lady. With me you all know Dave. Who also became known as "Girlfriend" for somehow becoming one of the girls. (I'm quickly working on showing him back to his own side). Now enter the Albertans. Cindy is a Hedley fan and spotted Dave on the plane, making the quick introduction as we disembarked said plane in Manzanillo. (Here's to Hedley!!!). Brent is Cindy's husband. I became aware of Brent on the plane sitting a row ahead of me and flipping through a magazine filled with pictures of guns, at which point I urgently pointed him out to Dave and hoped he wasn't planning to blow our plane up. (Boy did I feel silly!) Brent is also known as David Suzuki because he is constantly reading and I gather knows a lot. Cindy and Brent live in Strathmore, somewhere close to Calgary. Mike is Brent's brother and is married to the lovely Rhonda, who also sometimes goes by Ginger and Sandra (she looks like Sandra Bullock) and may possibly like attention more than me. (can you believe it???). Apparently Mike is quite quiet, although his alter ego must have been out to play because he certainly wasn't a wallflower. They live in Medicine Hat. The final stars of these stories are Kyndra and Jeff (also known as "Jeffrey! Jeffrey! Jeffrey!" - think Bill Cosby) who are long time friends of the above noted. Kyndra is as adventurous as me (read: hmmm, what's that food; i'm not sure about snorkelling, etc.) and Jeff loves speedos. He really does. They also live in Medicine Hat. Finally, I shall introduce Steve and Cassandra, a lovely couple from Langely whom Dave and I met at the airport. Both very sweet, I think they may have been a little scared and intimidated by the rest of us, and therefore, are not present in many of the fantastic stories I know you are all dying to hear.

So...just so you've got it, the who's who of Los Hadas Resort, Manzanillo, Mexico: Me, Dave (aka Girlfriend), Cindy, Brent (aka David Suzuki), Mike, Rhonda (aka Ginger or Sandra), Kyndra and Jeff (aka Jeffrey! Jeffrey! Jeffrey!). And cameo appearances go to Steve and Cassandra. There we go. I guess I better start producing some stories.
