Our trip to Cabo San Lucas was a very pleasurable one. In fact, it was probably the best vacation we have had to date. I am not saying the others were bad, they were great also, but this one topped them all.
We left Sioux Falls, SD on Saturday, February 21, 2009 at about 6:00 AM when the temperature was at a blistering +2F. We flew out of Sioux Falls aboard United Airlines. We arrived at Denver International Airport at about 7:20 AM. When we arrived at Denver there was about a half in ch of snow on the ground. We had about a six hour layover in Denver. We flew out at Denver at about 1:30 PM and arrived at Cabo San Lucas via Frontier Airlines about 2 1/2 hours later.
When you arrive at the airport in Cabo San Lucas, you get off the plane using stairs and walk across the tarmac. It was very warm, in the mid 80’s, dry and looked very much like a desert, which it is. After customs you are greeted by the “shark tank” , people who will tell you anything to get you to come to their little corner of the airport to get signed up for a hour or two of your time, with gifts, to attend a time share presentation. This you have to be very careful about. They talk fast and will tell you anything. They will also wear official looking ID’s. Just a little word of wisdom. Don’t stop for them. Get to your cab and get out of there.
I will not bore you with a run down of each day as you can see by the photos I put in the blog each day and see the highlights of what we did. I was nice to get home, but it was also tough to leave. All of the people from Mexico that we had contact with were great people. They work hard and work for tips, but they have families and lives to support. There are a lot of motels and restaurant employees in this country that could learn from them. I could not compare their service to services here.
Below is the suitcase Pame made to take back a cactus lamp that would not fit in her suitcase. Can you say “redneck?”
