I definately needed a vacation with all that has been going on in life. I was really looking forward to this trip. I did have some reservations about leaving work behind since things have been so busy for us in the office. I did get a chance to train someone to cover for me so it only took a few phone calls at the beginning of the trip to relax me. We had an incredible time in Cabo San Lucas. It was the fastest 7 days I think I have ever experienced. This place is definately on my list for "Must See Again".... My spanish skills although initially rusty, were dusted off in no time. I had a few dreams in spanish while I was there. Crazy!!
The weekend was set up to just get away and no have an agenda. It was only a day into the trip and we had the week planned. After speaking with several people I mapped out the "hot spots." My only regret.... we didn't book 2 weeks.
The beach was incredibly clear and the water was warm. In Cabo, the weather remains the same about 360 days a year. They say it is plus or minus 5 degrees. There are 5 days a year that get a little cooler or rainy. Most of the places do not have windows so the outside breeze coming from the ocean cools the place down. Some of the restaurants and night life stops did not have roofs.
Sammy Hagar of Van Halen has a place called Cabo Wabo and without notice will stop in for a live performance. I wasn't that lucky to see him but it is an exciting place non the less.
One of our days was dedicated to "The Buggy's" We had heard that you can take a day an go on a buggy journey. I was hoping more for a course and some competitive drivers but it was more of an open journey and "sunday drivers."
I got a chance to experience the "real town" of Cabo too. It took me back to some of my days in Vina Del Mar. I do feel bad that I always seemed to forget the camera and so the trip wasn't documents as well as I would have liked it to be. However, I won't be able to erase my memories.
This is the pool as seen from my perch!
Rest and Relaxation?? What is that?
Picking out the ride. I guess I will go with the Home Depot 20 Buggy.
In the driver's seat anticipating a dust storm. Although my bet is this 20 buggy is in the lead.
There are jumps on this course. NICE!!!
Taking a driving break on the Pacific Ocean side of Baja. Bigger waves and cooler water.
I sure hope this tree branch holds.
Patio Dining on the Beach! Another night when I didn't have the camera, we ate right after sunset at a "reservations only" spot called The Office. I took my shoes off at the door and walked down onto a sandy beach filled with Tiki Torches and high class excitement. Incredible meal and might I add... great company. :)
It is too hard to say goodbye. See you soon Cabo!
