Wow! This place is beautiful. We got in yesterday afternoon after a four hour flight from Seattle. Spent yesterday afternoon fighting off timeshare-oil salesmen (they're thick as stink on a manure wagon as you're leaving the airport). Finally got to "here", got checked in and then ran up to the Mega (a mexican version of Walmart) for the week's groceries. Dinner was tuna fish sandwiches and chips. After that we both just crashed.

We have a one room villa with a veranda that looks out over the pool, courtyard, and bright blue ocean. We're facing the Sea of Cortez (east side of Baja) and if we're up early enough can watch the sun come up. The room is big and very nice. Sleeps four so there is plenty of room (makes us wonder what we're doing here by ourselves...). The weather is between high 70s - low 80s and there's a nice breeze coming off the ocean. NO RAIN OR SNOW IN SIGHT!

Today we figured out what we're planning on doing the rest of the week, spent time at the pool, took a nap (Gina), practiced our Spanish (Rosetta Stone/Kelly), took a taxi into San Jose and are now kicking back wondering what we're having for dinner. Lunch was here at the resort ... great fish tacos and somewhat messy chicken nachos (not a fan of too much fake cheese sauce... actually not a fan of ANY fake cheese sauce). Dinner might be Subway (seriously... it's close and we're tuckered) or Dominoes.. (it's right around the corner and there's nothing like a cheap Dominoes pizza.. Vaminos to Dominoes..). Anyway, the evening will be spent in the hot tub.

Not sure what the week will bring but we are going for a sunset cruise and glass bottom boat trip out of Cabo San Lucas as well as a snorkeling trip to Lover's Beach and I would like to either rent a Waverunner or go paragliding on an ultralight. On Friday we're heading up to Todo Santos... the real Hotel California where "you can check out any time you like but you can never ever leave..." Good Times!
