A Personal Note from Sherri "Happy New Year!"
Sherri Davis - CozumelInsider Owner/OperatorWith December coming to a close, it's time to celebrate, make resolutions and begin a new year. For those of you who are not here on the island with us this year for New Year's Eve ~ we will miss you!

However, if you'd like to be with us "in spirit" and
ring in the New Year like a Cozumeleno here's what you can do:


For each gong of the clock at midnight, folks here pop a grape into their mouths.
The twelve grapes symbolize good luck for each month of the New Year.
When the gonging stops and grapes gulped,
lift a glass of your favorite beverage (here it's XX's/Sol/Corona or tequila)
and make a Toast: Salud !! (Sa LUUD)

Then make a note on your resolutions list to be sure and
make reservations to actually be here for New Years next year! OK?!


I received this from a good friend recently and am not sure of the author but
it pretty much sums up my wish for all of you in 2009 ~

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for money of all sorts.
May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!
May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires.
May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.
May the problems you had in 2008 forget your home address!
In simple words ............May 2009 be the best year of your life!!!

Happy New Year!

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
