Whistler?




No not Whistler. We had been planning our annual Whistler Trip for months and everyone was really excited. Friday morning I got up and got ready got Ryan up and we headed to the airport at our usual just in time pace! We got checked in and through security and as we were walking up to the gate we heard this announcement "...need 8 volunteers to..." thinking bad words...yes the flight was oversold and we were disappointed but not totally discouraged. There was another flight to Vancouver that night at 9. So we went home rode the scooter around since it was like 70 degrees! Went back to the airport, cheked in, checked our bags, through security. There was only 1 paying passenger who did not make the flight, then us. So we went home pretty discouraged but thinking at least Ryan's 4 friends in Washington can go up. Wrong again! You can't get into Canada with a DUI. That night we figured only 1 paying passenger didn't make the flight we could still try in the morning. Got up Saturday morning got showered...looked at the flights there were 10 HK's (paying passengers who rolled over and were waiting for a seat assignment) HOW??? Fine now we give up. However I have been planning on getting away for so long I can't just stay home. So I look and look for other places to go, it is Spring Break...but we can go to Cabo, so we do. HALLELUJAH!! Yes we went to Mexico for 1 day but if you think that is crazy you must have forgotten that we went to Belgium for 1 day (much longer flight!) We flew in rented a car


sweet ride! Drove around ate at a bland Mexican restaurant went to the beach drove to another town where we could camp on the beach. The road was not the safest 2 lane highway you have ever been on at night...but we made it and ate dinner at a yummy hotel restaurant! Got directions to the camping beach.



We camped in Hawaii, we are in Mexico should be similar at night...no it was freezing! so we camped in the car (refer to picture above of small white nissan!) Surprisingly we slept pretty good. The hotels in Cabo were all pretty cool looking but high above our price range, you forgot we are already paying for our condo in whistler as we sleep on the beach in Mexico!



We did get to hang out at the public beach for a few hours before we headed back home. It was a nice beach not too crowded and once you got in the water it wasn't so bad.



Unfortunately this is the best picture of us.
Even though it was a short trip we had fun and it was just nice to get out of here! Coming home was not so pleasant. It was 86 in Cabo and raining and cold when we got to Utah...dang.
