We were among the first off the plane. The immigration lines were short, and we didn't have to wait too long for the Marriott shuttle.
Checking in at a Brazilian property is fairly labor-intensive for the clerk. He collected both of our passports and filled out a government information form for each of us that we were reqired to sign. He was very friendly throughout, and it was a treat having our room ready at 11:00 a.m. It seems to be a much more pleasant property than we'd anticipated from some of the reviews, and our room is clean and spacious with free Internet.
There's apparently a pool here and we'll probably try it out later. We both feel a lot better than we deserve to after flying a little over 13,000 miles since Tuesday. Since we'll have to take a taxi to the airport tomorrow at 5:15 a.m. to check in for our 7:20 a.m. flight, relaxation is the order of the day.
Update... The pool was a great spot to hang out for a couple of hours, but the water was a little too cool for our tastes.
