Cabo San Lucas, Mexico










We usually try to take a ski trip before Christmas but this year the ski thing just didn't seem to work out. Since we fly standby (and now so does Hank and Holly) we started looking at place we could go where the flights seemed to be open. I think it was Wednesday when someone suggested Cabo in Mexico. The flights were great leaving on Thursday so we packed our bags, made few arrangements and headed to the airport on Thursday morning.
To start the trip off, we were late getting to the airport and missed the one hour before flight arrival requirement. The computers would not let us print our tickets and it looked like we were not going to make it. Finally, a really nice Delta employee helped us out and printed our tickets for us. We made it!!
When we got to Cabo Dave realizes that he left his driver's license at home so I had to rent the car which also meant I had to drive!! Yikes! I don't know if any of you have every actually tried to drive in Mexico but it is quite an experience. The one rule of driving is that there are not rules. If you come to an intersection, there are no stop signs. It is basically first come first serve. Really scary, especially when you decline the rental car insurance!!
We only stayed until Saturday but we had the best time. We ate at local taco restaurants where they serve authentic Mexican food. It was so yummy! The beaches were beautiful and the people were so nice. We will definitely be going back to Cabo in the future!
