Cabo San Lucas Travel Blogs

Background: The site of advanced Amerindian civilizations, Mexico came under Spanish rule for three centuries before achieving independence early in the 19th century. A devaluation of the peso in late 1994 threw Mexico into economic turmoil, triggering the worst recession in over half a century. The nation continues to make an impressive recovery. Ongoing economic and social concerns include low real wages, underemployment for a large segment of the population, inequitable income distribution, and few advancement opportunities for the largely Amerindian population in the impoverished southern states. Elections held in July 2000 marked the first time since the 1910 Mexican Revolution that the opposition defeated the party in government, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vicente FOX of the National Action Party (PAN) was sworn in on 1 December 2000 as the first chief executive elected in free and fair elections.

Mexico cruise - 141108 054

We're getting a little behind with the blog updates - it's just hard to keep up-to-date with all the fun and activities cruising the Mexican Riviera. Hopefully everyone at home appreciates how tough this is on us. Well, cruise #1 has come to an end after the final stop in Cabo San Lucas. A beach resort town really, so after a quick parasail before breakfast (see pic) we headed off to the Marina to have a look around. Well actually, the plans were originally grander than that, but didn't last long (read on). It didn't start off well with locals everywhere [View Full Entry]

The Magic of Cabo San Lucas

North America » Mexico » Baja California Sur » Cabo San Lucas

Myself and the Magic

Hey hey, I thought I would dedicate a blog to Cabo San Lucas...officially my favourite Port of Call on the Disney Magic's Mexican Riviera run. Yay! If you get the chance in your life to visit Cabo San Lucas...DO IT! It is the most beautiful city and deserves to have lots and lots of visitors. I have decided to take a week long holiday in Cabo San Lucas at some point in my life so I can see it properly. It is truly awesome. Beautiful beaches, hospitable Mexicans, and happy people walking around saying "Ola" to random strangers (OK! That was [View Full Entry]

Mooching in Cabo

The happy couple

Destination: Cabo San Lucas (courtesy of PGP, Inc. for their 2nd Annual Recognition Conference) NOTE: I got my first kooky comment from some stranger about this blog, which prompted me to add this caveat to all of my blogs. I write these blogs for personal memories and to share our experiences with close friends and family. I make them public because they might be of help to a traveler who is willing to muddle through them. They are full of honest opinions....if I don't like something, I say it, not to offend, but to document our actual thoughts and experiences. If [View Full Entry]

Poop in Paradise

North America » Mexico » Baja California Sur » Cabo San Lucas

Holy cranky Batman..today was one of those nasty days in paradise-started fine, but diminished shortly after noon. Heres the motorhome scoop-stuff builds up and you have to release it..and sometimes things break, like the "poop hose" I guess that it is a rite of passage for a rookie RV family, kinda like a chain link scar for an amateur mountainbiker. I heard a few expletives, and then a smell emanated from just outside of the kitchen window, that smelled somewhat like farm, or worse. The hose had in fact busted and Sam and Joe were frantically hosing all of the crap [View Full Entry]

Cabo Wabo

North America » Mexico » Baja California Sur » Cabo San Lucas

Hey guys--right now I am sitting beside the pool with my dad inspecting my hair, I got it crossed braided and I think it looks cool. This morning I tried to put an entry in but somehow it got erased. By that time I had written quite a long article so I lost my patence(SP) and said to myself that I would just do it later. Also today my dad and brother put our new boat in the water dad says that it needs quite a bit of maintence work, he needs to raise the motor a good 3 inches so [View Full Entry]

sand and surf continued

North America » Mexico » Baja California Sur » Cabo San Lucas

I may be getting my entries mixed up-I;m trying to follow my journal, then I digress-it thats a word then tryo to get caught up..so sand continued.. Jan 10. Sam-board boy wanted to go surfing before we went to Cabo St Lucas. Joe was rocked up about getting to Cabo St Lucas to find an RV site, somewhere to do laundry and to have a shower and to get rid of the nasty stuff in the rv, iv, black and grey water, which frankly, so was I, but first things first. I tried surfing again, but again, didn't like the pressure [View Full Entry]

I'm losing track of time!

North America » Mexico » Baja California Sur » Cabo San Lucas

I'm losing track of time-never quite know what the date is, what the day is-never been in this situation before. I now know that I could very easily join the ranks of the retirees of the world. I just need to be able to get a job that I don't actually need to work at..mmm, crime, B.C. bud? I have the luxury of thinking about these things. We've decided to stay for a bit here because we are right in the heart of Cabo St Lucas, 30 minutes from John's resort, and the beach is only 15 minutes walking distance today. [View Full Entry]

sand..continued

North America » Mexico » Baja California Sur » Cabo San Lucas

Local travel knowledge sure played a role in finding this beach. There have been people coming back to this particular boondockiong site for dozens of years-but looks like it will be short lived-you can see signs of development and if the price of the restaurant means anything-the end of cheap tacos..We went for lunch at La Seritas beach club and paid 2.50 0 american for a coke, and 11 bucks for a burger-turned out that we ordered 4 cokes because the wasps kept swimming in the cans, and 10 bucks for tacos-but the peanuts were free. We also learned that if [View Full Entry]
