Hello Cabo.

And Spring Break.

I sound like a broken record — I hate getting up for early morning flight. Who would have thought 9am is an early flight, but with it being international, it’s the two-hour rule. Get there early.

As well we did as the airport was jammed with spring break travellers, parents, teenagers, college students, children, basically a zoo.

Flight to LA unexceptional other than there wasn’t a spare seat to be had, as was true on the flight to Cabo (though there might have been one or two middle seats left). Not a good time of the year to be flying in coach.

Hit the Board Room in Seattle and the one at LAX (which is slated for a new one once they switch terminals early next year). Popped into duty-free for a couple of bottles of duty-free scotch (2 for $30). Scotch (and whiskey in general) is one of the few things that aren’t cheaper in Mexico.

Amazingly enough, all the time-share touts didn’t swam us at the airport as we were warned — and our driver was there just about the same time as we cleared customs and the terminal building, and off to the WorldMark Coral Baja.

Our room (one of three that we are using during this stay):

It was just at 5pm when we got settled in… by 6 Gnarlene was napping on the couch, by 8 we were at Mama Mia (the restaurant on the grounds) for dinner.

With the exhaustion of travelling, Gnarlene was in bed reading at 9 (which meant asleep by 9:15!) and me an hour after.
