Catch up...... (Blogger is making me underline everything AGAIN!)


Well Cabo was AWSOME! All I can say is .... "Hurricane!?..... What Hurricane!?"



This is a picture I took as soon as we got to our hotel room. As you can see, it is hazy and a little windy. I'll take that over totally blowing and raining like I thought.



Here's what it looked like the rest of the time we were there. This is a picture of the marina/Pier.

Another picture from the hotel pools. The only residual effect of the hurricane was the huge waves. Don't swim in this ocean. This is from the 7th floor.........


which has this bridge to get across to the restaurant on site The pictures below are from the view standing on the bridge.



This was from our balcony the last day we were there.
Here was what our schedule was......

1st day- Left Denver at 7:30 AM. Land in LAX around 9am. More than half our party got on the next plane to Cabo, while the rest of us didn't leave until around 2:30PM. So, Dan's boss bought the 11 of us that were left a day pass to the Admirals Club (The nice club that you get to walk through the cool frosted glass doors. Or like the Tina Fey commercial for American Express). We watched the Texas/OU game and ate alot of Chex mix, cookies and little muffins that were FREE. Dan's boss smuggled in a couple orders of nachos from On-The -Border. I got to start reading the books I brought. (i jumped on the twilight band wagon. Discussion Later) Left LAX.Our only detour because of the hurricane was instead of flying down the coast to Cabo, we had to fly like we were going to Arizona and then come across Mexico into Cabo. We landed. Got our stuff to the hotel. Had to get FOOD! We ate at a place called the Shrimp Factory. So we ate lobster and lots of shrimp. Met everyone else at Cabo Wabo (Sammy Hagar's Club) It was sooo busy because he was there that weekend, because it was his birthday and he was going to perform on the Mon. night we were there. So we went across the street to Hemingways. We watched everyone enjoy themselves and then called it a night.

2nd Day- Got up, when we wanted to. Ate breakfast, when we wanted to. Hung out at the pool, for as long as we wanted to. Do you see a pattern? At the pool we played some water volleyball with the "Farmers" people that were there. Dan is such a trooper because I know that laying out in the hot sun is NOT his favorite thing to do. But he does it for me. I love him for that! The pool side bar did have some football games on, so every once in a while he would go sit under the shaded bar and watch some of the games. And, of course, I read. I finished twilight that day and started "New Moon". That night we had reservations at Lorenzillo's. I had steak and lobster, YUM! One thing about Cabo is that everyone is so layed back. It took us 3 hours to have dinner and then they don't bring you a check unless you ask for it. On the way back to the hotel, we eyed a DQ so of course we had to stop and get some ice cream. I know.... not very "mexican".

Day 3- Dan had to be up and out of the hotel room by about 6:30AM so he could meet up with everyone that was deep sea fishing that day. So I slept. Then I just repeated the day before. I did hang out with a wife of a District Manager that I knew, even before Dan started working for Farmers. Like I said before... repeat of the day before. Suntan, pool, volleyball, read. Dan didn't get back until about 4:30/5Pm. Out of the 7 guys that went, Dan and 2 other guys were the only ones that didn't puke most the day on the boat. They did catch a bunch of fish! One 165 lb. yellow fin tuna, one 80 lb yellow fin tuna, a Marlin (Catch and release, but the guy that caught it has an official certificate that he caught it) and a bunch of Mahi-Mahi. I will post a picture of that later. When you catch fish there, the hotel will prepare it and cook it for you. So that night at the "Farmers" dinner. We had some tuna and mahi-mahi. It was SO DELICIOUS! I am not a fish eater, but when it is so fresh from the water it is yummy. That night after dinner, we went with most of the group to hang out in town.

Day 4 - Got up and had to leave.

I had a great time! Especially because I got to hang out with my hubby almost the whole time! (We missed the kids, but really...... it was nice to have a little vacation)

You know, two-three days of just laying out at the pool is so worth it...and then sleeping in...and not having to do ANYTHING....I'm there! I'm glad you got to go and enjoy yourselves.
