Spring Break 2009 - Cabo Style







I'm a little late posting my Cabo trip entry, then again we all know how long it takes to recover from visiting Mexico. As you already know, 5 girlfriends and I went to Cabo San Lucas for a fun-filled 6 days & 5 nights. We stayed at the Riu Santa Fe right on the beach and loved it! We spent everyday on lounge chairs by one of the 5 pools. It was so relaxing! At night we would all get dressed up and go to one of the reservation only restaurants at our hotel. The food was okay, we definitely missed Tex-Mex. I pretty much ate fresh pineapple and guacamole the whole time.... not together of course! My most memorable experience might have to be parasailing with Erica. I'm a screamer! Ha! I think I screamed the ENTIRE time but loved every second of it. Somehow, in my excitement.... or stupor, I managed to fall off the water taxi that took us from shore out to the speed boat. Now mind you, the water taxi is basically like a little Ranger boat with a top.... you get the picture. I'm just glad I realized I was only in a foot of water and could stand before the boat ran me over! I now know that in traumatic situations I may momentarily forget how to swim... or stand. We also went on a sunset cruise around the infamous Cabo arch....breathtaking! They had the sails and music going.... talk about a good night! We did some major picture taking and dancing while on the boat. Afterwards, we went into town and had dinner at a really delicious seafood place.... who doesn't love fresh lobster? MMM!!! I only went into town 2 nights during the trip. We went to Squid Roe, Nowhere Bar, Mandala's, Zoo and I'm not really sure where else. You know how I love to dance! Anyhoo, the trip was incredible and I wouldn't have traded a second of it! I'm so glad I have such a great group of girlfriends to travel with! Bon voyage!!!
