Hola from Cabo San Lucas!

I completely did not update my blog like I said I was going to last night. But I'm going to put up a tidbit about what we've done so far. Luckily in this case, it hasn't been much.


We arrived on Saturday around 1pm. Of course with a crying baby seated behind us for 4 hours. I'm pretty sure that's karma for complaining that there were a bunch of spring breakers at our terminal before we left. So as soon as we approach our seats, I see that there is a 1-2 year old patiently waiting for us in the seat directly behind mine. She only cried significantly twice so she wasn't that bad. And I could tell that the parents were trying their best. No harm done, so no biggie.


Oh, on the flight down, we also watched "The Blind Side"... I've seen this in the theater already, but it's such an awesome movie. And I cried like a baby again, pretty much through the whole thing, but mostly at the end. I consider that my "cleanse" moment right before vacation officially started in Cabo so my happy time could start after that. :)


Anyway, we get to Cabo and go through customs - it wasn't that bad. Until we were dumped from Customs into this Sea of men dressed in white clothing swarming you, asking you if you need a taxi, how old you are, what you have planned. I was quickly becoming uneasy as I didn't know what to do. I'm sure I have "sucker" plastered across my forehead because they all approached me. Craig kept saying "No gracias" and pushed through. We finally got outside where it began again, until I was approached by Stacey, who Craig has arranged to pick us up. Thank goodness. Stacey is the lady I've been talking to for the last month or so arranging activities and reservations. He was sneaky about arranging that, but I was happy that he did.


So.. we get to the resort, and it's beautiful. It's not completely done, they've been completing in phases, but it's really new and not busy. It's a timeshare resort so hardly any spring breakers are here. They have several pools and it all overlooks the ocean. It's awesome!

And yesterday, we did our first activity (Sunday was a lazy day), and we went up to a canyon in Santiago where we hiked around a waterfall.  It was a great hike and Craig decided to be a daredevil and jump from the top of the waterfall into the water at the end.  I got video of that, which I'll try to post once I'm back.  Here are some pictures:

Lunch was included w/ this trip and we went to what you would call a "rinky dink" place in the states, but they had the BEST food. Mexican of course, w/ the best guacamole I've had. We had a sample of everything from fish tacos, to chicken molѐ, and quesadillas. It was so good. We went and picked fresh oranges off the tree afterwards. We had a great time!

Off to the next day.. hasta luego!
