 Fun in Cabo |
- wasn't sure what it would be like to vacation with Cam. Turns out it's relaxing but not restful - not much sleep for us, but we didn't do anything so we just relaxed.
- we went on a whale watch cruise for free, courtesy of attending a timeshare presentation. Didn't see many whales, but it was nice to sail on the water, especially when they cruised right into Land's End with all the big rocks and the famous arching rock - El Arco
- it was on the cool side there. Daytime temps in the mid 20s which is comfy but not hot as we were expecting for Mexico. Our resort was a big wind tunnel so it was always cold walking around the resort
- Sea of Cortes was freezing cold... not that it stopped me from swimming in it. It was also ridiculously salty; I had trouble diving down deeper than about 3 feet and there were white salt stains on my trunks once I dried out on the beach. I've never seen that before.
- it was great fun with Cam in the kiddie pool and on the beach, and everybody loved him
- Cabo itself is a weird mix of ghetto run-down Mexican town with big money luxury stuff for tourists: the tourist Golden Zone right on the marina featured swanky open-air lounges and restaurants right on the water and a beautiful (and expensive) mall, while right across the street was scary back alley-type buildings housing seedy looking shops. Great restaurants over there, though
- speaking of restaurants, we had some really great food, including taking a freshly caught fish to a restuarant and having them prepare it four different ways for us. We didn't catch the fish ourselves; it was given to us by the timeshare seller who hails from Edmonton
- we had a good time there, and enjoyed it so much we actually ended up buying into the timeshare at the presentation - maybe that's why he gave us a fish. :) Now we have a great vacation destination every year at a good price
