After some slight turbulence that almost made me lose my pretzels, we made it to Cabo San Lucas! The group that arranged our trip picked us up right outside the airport, led us through a really easy sign-in process upon arrival at the resort, and had our bags delivered to our room. All this meant that we haven’t had to think about anything since getting on the plane in Houston. This is good since packing took about all the brain power we had left.
After dipping our toes in the very cold Pacific Ocean, which has a very violent tide that nearly dragged me out to sea, we went to dinner at one of the on-site restaurants. The food was good, especially the fried chicken, but the best part may have been the really nice waiters who seemed to honestly care about the state of my soda. The Batman on top of the roof was also a highlight.
Entertainment last night was a condensed, live-action “Mamma Mia.” Yes, we watched a Mexican take on an American adaptation of Swedish songs. Needless to say, it was fantastic.
We ended the evening watching Little Miss Sunshine, complete with Spanish subtitles. I learned a lot of spanish vocab words, particularly cuss words. Apparently I didn’t need to listen to my Raul Malo CD to brush up on my Spanish skills.
Today will consist of free food, the pool, free food, the beach, free food, and another magical show.
The group we’re with organizes excursions, and we’re trying to decide between swimming with dolphins and snorkeling. The nice man assured us we wouldn’t just be saying “hi” to the dolphins, we’d actually get to hug them and stuff. And snorkeling involves one of the biggest coral reefs in the world, and free food. Please let us know if you think we should go with the dolphins or the snorkeling. We promise not to be mad if you make the wrong decision.

Sounds wonderful! And not having to worry about anything except making fun choices sounds too good to be true. Had hoped the Pacific would be a bit warmer that far south; oh well, you’ll just have to make do with the pools…. Kiss a dolphin for me.
I am so jealous I can hardly read this.
I think you should go with the dolphins.
