Vacation Wrap Up

Photo: Thanks to my work peeps for getting me through my first day back at work with a tropical drink courtsey of Cabana Boy Scott!
I’m home and it’s cold. Breezed through customs…..slept on the flights……didn’t lose any luggage…..all and all a long, but uneventful trek back. Still gettting used to the tan, but I’m sure that will fade in no time. Thank god for Aaron and Laura’s Panama wedding in October!

Zippy Zip Lines

,

Nothing to really report the last day and half besides hangin’ by the pool. Figured you didn’t need to hear about that…..went zip lining this afternoon – our first activity of the vacation! We drove up this super bumpy dirt road to Wild Canyon Adventures, which is right between Cabo and Cabo del Sol. We had a quick briefing and demonstration then they sent us on our way. To get the swing of things, we did a quick little line, then it was on to the big stuff.

My mom cried and screamed the entire time, but she made it. Some lines you went tandem while others you went alone. It was pretty crazy how much speed you could pick up! There was a lot of hiking in between the lines, which kinda sucked. You really had to work for those few seconds of fun on the line – oh well. Oh and sitting in those harness things – not exactly comfortable. Note to future zip liners: wear long shorts. Short shorts weren’t cutting it.

I think we’re going to take it easy tomorrow with a morning snorkel then will head to Cabo on Sunday for a day long boat/snorkel trip. Should be fun. Then I’ve just got one more day and it’s back to rainy Seattle.

Here Fishy

Starting to get into the swing of vacation finally. I think it takes a few days to really unwind yourself from everything. Let’s see…..less than a week left – time does fly. At this time next week, I’ll be boarding a flight from LAX back to Seattle. Heard the weather up there has been nice, go figure.

Finally am getting this sun tanning thing figured out too. Spent the morning poolside then went into town midday to shop and get out of the heat. Did a bunch of browsing, but didn’t get much. Saw some things I liked though. This pesos to dollar conversion messes me up. I attempted to buy some pottery I liked, but it ended up being $75 US. No thanks. I’m sure we’ll go back at the end of the trip or head to Cabo where I’ve heard they’ve got a ton more shops. Shopping kept us out of the sun while it was at its hottest so we could enjoy a leisurely jaunt back to the pool late afternoon. Now that’s how you suntan in Mexico!

Day Three

,

Well after spending all day yesterday poolside I’ve come up with quite the sunburn. I guess SPF 30 doesn’t cut it around here. I really should have went tanning a few times before heading down here. My virginal skin is totally freaking out on me. Yikes. Spent today rockin’ a long sleeved hoodie since my forearms are fried. I don’t know how one burns the inside of their elbows…..

Anywho, drove down to La Pamilla today to do some snorkeling. All beaches are public down here so we drove right to the resort and walked down to the beach. We saw a ton of pelicans hangin’ around waiting for the fishermen to come back in. I made an attempt to snorkel, but the waves were pretty big and the visibility sucked. Liz and Dad went out for a bit, but I guess there wasn’t much to see. The ‘rents are going on a time share presentation tomorrow morning so we can go on a deluxe snorkeling/kayak tour and zip lining excursion later in the week. The sacrifices our parents make……
