Eleven Warriors

I think all of our work days are very similar to that!

Welcome

I was recently vacationing at an all-inclusinve in Mexico.  The only place i could get free Wi-Fi is at the bar in the lobby.  Guess where i was hanging out a couple times/day to check out 11W.  

So whereas it's normally work work work refresh, it became beer tequila beer refresh.  Good times.  If you get a chance to go to the Riviera Maya, do it.  

Haha welcome! I laugh bc i promise we are like any other o-state fans, we are biased towards our buckeyes. One week we will love a commit, the next week we hate them ( Anzolone). And anything SCUM does we hate as well.

Wow! Lots of fellow vacationers (is this a word?)!!!  My wife and I stayed at the Grand Palladium from July 5-13th.  We did the zip lining and chichen itza and Xel Ha and the sorts.  I HIGHLY recommend Chichen Itza.  One of the most amazing things I've ever seen.  I have a photo of my wife and I and our friends doing the O-H-I-O in front of the main pyramid.  

New to the site as well, as a member, at least.  I never sign up for accounts for any reason, but couldn't pass on 11W.  Whats up everyone.

i will be drinking all day and night though, i dont want you to think im not into that kinda thing!just seeing what else there is to do.

Thanks 703.

Silver, watch your back outside of the tourist areas down there.

I was on the other side of Mexico for my honeymoon.  We went to Puerto Vallarta and I really liked it.  The water isn't as pretty on the Pacific side as the Gulf, but it was really nice.  We actually stayed at a resort in Nueva Vallarta which is north of town, but we caught the bus and went into town one day.  We got off way to early and were in a kind of rough looking part of town, but no one really bothered us.  Turns out we were not yet to town.  In downtown Puerto Vallarta we walked down a lot of the streets visited a couple of churches walked down the boardwalk/beach area and really didn't have any trouble.  Driving back on the bus though, I did notice some pretty nasty areas.  Extreme poverty, it's sad really.  We see the well groomed nice resorts and spend more in a week than a lot of them will make in a year.  

We stayed mostly at the pool at our resort though and drank and ate down there every day.  I pretty much treated it like I would at home on the first day gave the guy a buck or 10 pesos for a tip with every drink or when we ordered food.  After about 3 days of doing that, I guess the jury was out on my wife and me because you could see the waiters just waiting for us to sit down so they could be the one to take care of us that day.  We did the timeshare tour at the resort and the lady who gave us the tour was local.  The guy who started the Mayan resorts hired her as a construction worker when he built his first resort and she worked her way up to a sales job and was doing wel.  Anyway, on the tour they took us to a brunch and she tipped the guy like 30 pesos.  She said so many times people throw down 2 pesos and act like it's a big deal.  Apparently, the people at the resort  only make 25 bucks a day and those guys were busting out like 12 hour shifts down there.  No wonder they were so quick to take care of us, on a long day at the pool from us, they were making 20-30 bucks easy.  We were easily the exception too, many weren't even tipping when they got food and drinks down there.  I couldn't imagine working so hard for so little.
