Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
January 20, 2019
Well, another adventure. Planned a trip to Cabo some 6 months ago with
friends Tom & Helene Kiefer staying at a very well reviewed Airbnb. Turns out, Tom is faced with a heart valve
problem requiring open heart surgery, so a cancellation was in order. God bless everything went well and he is in
recovery. Based on the loss of deposit
money, Shari and I decided to go and invited sister Kathy and John Albion to
join

So happy they accepted and so
sorry for Tom and Helene, but grateful he received the necessary care and doing
very well.
A very early departure from The
Villages for an international flight out of Orlando to Cabo, with a flight
change in Houston, required a 3:00am alarm.
Travel uneventful with flights pretty much right on time with United
Air. Arrived at Cabo 2:30pm prox. Mountain
Time.

(Gained 2 hrs). First order of business after clearing customs
was to get a car rental, prearranged by Bob.
Cactus Car Rental was very prompt and organized. Directions to our condo very confusing. Driving in Mexico can be

challenging
particularly when you don’t know where your going. Bob designated driver. Finally got Bob’s Android GPS to use MapQuest. Helpful but marginal.
Went through some very
interesting areas, poor and rough.
Finally found our complex, but finding our unit was a different story. Very large complex with very little building
or unit identification. Asked four to
five people with little or no success. Parking
a major challenge as well. Kathy “accidentally”
found our unit, elevator button for floor #1 for unit #502, go figure.

Well, tired with full day of
travel, housekeeper welcomed and calmed us down offering some beer and bringing
to our unit . Very nice lady. Unit is simple / nice, but with a beautiful
view.

After getting settled in, Now 5:30 prox., needed “drink and food”.
Back to the car for a very interesting tip to
downtown Cabo trying to find dinning with a couple of wrong ways on “one way”
streets. Ouch!! Many places closed do to Sunday.
Well, after a few bad turns
and interesting neighborhoods, we found a

lovely restaurant on the main drag. Ramuri, greeted us with a welcome and the
bonus was the NFL playoff game between the Chiefs and Patriots. Great game except the ending for us, rooting
for the Chiefs.
With a little local knowledge
under our belt, drive back to Condo was uneventful, arriving back around 9:30pm
prox. Sat up for a little, Kathy and
John checking out the pool, in bed by 10:00pm, tired. Day one done.
