Wow!
As most of you know, I have been in and out
of Mexico the past couple of weeks. Once with
Gary to Playa del Carmen and just last night
I returned home from Cabo with my sister’s family.
And altho’ I don’t know if I would necessarily go
back to Cabo (for reasons I’ll mention later) I
wouldn’t trade this trip for anything! This was
maybe one of the coolest trips I’ve every taken.

I got THE single most FABulous massage at the
spa at this hotel (along with Anne & Tiffany),
I experienced my first 2-tank dive, I parasailed
for the first time and saw whales, turtles & sea
lions, I rode horseback on the beach, went deep sea
fishing for tuna on a 50+ foot yacht!
It must have taken me over 5 minutes to reel mine
in from the outrigger…CRAZY. Saw tons of
dolphin, sailfish, a sword fish and a HUGE whale
tail in those 5 hours. It was truly amazing.

Gary and I take vacations to relax and have gotten
really good at it, I love those trips.
This trip was just…oh, I don’t know…like
5 trips in one, sort of. I loved this trip too.

I have so many photos to share that I don’t even
know where to start. I also have some recommendations
and some great companies to share with you as well
should you travel to Cabo.

This condo place where we were was pretty spectacular,
just really expensive. We had a full kitchen so
we did breakfast and sometimes lunch there but
dinners were always out and amazing…so were the
bar tabs at the pool/beach. I mean really, who
gets to charge 5 bucks for a can of Modelo and
8 somethin’ for a margarita in a plastic glass!
c’MON!!

I had been deleting a little bit on the fly this
whole trip and I have just popped my card into
my monitor…901 images! Not bad for 2 families
and all those activities. I used Pete’s camera
and Amanda’s too (on the horse back riding excursion).
So, I think I covered this trip pretty well!

I’ve more to share but if Gary doesn’t see me
getting my taxes together, he’s gonna toss me
out in the snow!

I hope you enjoy looking at the photos as much
as I enjoyed taking them!

It’s good to be home.

Hola from Cabo San Lucas in the Baja California Sur.
Wow, this is totally a different place here.
First, I’m with my sister, Pete and their kids along
with their neighbors Mark & Tiffany and their 2 kids.

Our group is in a fantastic 2 room suite. It’s amazing!
The kids think it’s pretty terrific too. Master suite,
second bedroom and a living room separates them.
3 tv’s, 2 kitchens…one, complete with a dishwasher and
full sized fridge…Plus laundry.
The other room with a kitchenette.
3 bathrooms and a patio/lanai that’s as big as my first
apartment! CRAZY.

We are nearly directly underneath the web cam so
we have the same view as the link.

First night was pretty cool and the first morning was
as well. But we packed for it so it was great!

The guys took a van into town and went grocery shopping
and so we are set for breakfast and lunch for many days.

The nights we reserve for going out to dinner.
Last night to a really fun seafood place.
The fish was sea bass and you had your choice of not only
preparation but sauce as well. Anne did the almond,
Mark did the “devil sauce” and I did the garlic (shocker!)
the kids ate plain noodles, quesadillas and the boys had
cheeseburgers that the staff had to go elsewhere to get.
MIghty nice! Mariachi’s came in and insisted on playing
“la bamba” for us and I may just get sick soon if I here
that one more time!!

I hit the sack early last night due to the dive today.
We taxied to the marina and found the dive shop..
Underwater Diversions..Great group of guys!
Lars was actually called in to guide us and give Ben
& I a little refresher in the pool on sight. everything
was A-okay! got in out 7mil suits and fitted for fins &
masks (Pete has all his own stuff…he’s so cool!!)
hopped in the boat and our first stop was “pelican rock”.
Translation…a huge structure that sticks out of the water
that pelicans sit and poop on. But make no mistake, this
was no “shitty” dive, this was an amazing dive and so much
fish, coral, eels..you name it, we saw it. very cool.

Ben was not interested in a 2nd dive, but for another 20
bucks, Pete and I thought, why not, so we dropped Ben
off at the Marina and headed back for the second dive
out near “the arch” but the current was pretty strong
so we went to “Neptune’s finger”…clearer, but with a
swift current as well…It was such a great diving
experience. Pete has an underwater camera case so
we took lots of pictures. I’ll get them from him when
I get back.

I’ll post pictures soon. Maybe even later today.
