Cabo Christmas---Part I

This year for Christmas we decided that we would go on a family trip over Christmas and make memories instead of getting more "stuff".  It took months of savings and planning and it finally came time to go!  Austin was flying home from New York the night before our departure and as luck would have it his flight was delayed and his luggage didn't make it, so he arrived without any clothes or personal items...but he was here!  Luckily he had some old shorts and high school t-shirts he threw in a bag and he knew Santa would bring PJs and a swimsuit for Christmas, so we were good to go!

Our flights were pretty uneventful and quick.  Our flight was delayed from SL, but then also our flight from Phoenix was delayed, so we walked off  the first plane, went down 3 gates and walked on our connection to Cabo...smooth! 

 Once we arrived in Cabo there was supposed to be a driver there with a sign that had our name on it.  But, alas, there was no driver there.  Luckily I had printed out my confirmation and after flagging down a couple drivers who were standing around they agreed to take us to our hotel and figure out how to get paid later.  I guess they kind of all work together and as long as they had my confirmation number they would figure it out.  That was fine with me as we were ready to go!

Our transportation included a stop at Walmart where Ethan, Evan and I went in an started shopping for some groceries for the week.  We were planning on eating breakfast in our room and then some snacks and Sunday meals.  We didn't know the conversion rate to pesos, so we were just getting the things we needed and hoping it was a good deal.  We ended up with $100 worth of food and snack and sunscreen and off we went to our hotel!

The room and hotel was amazing.  We were right on Medano beach in Cabo San Lucas at the Pueblo Bonito Rose.  We had a great patio that walked right out to the pool.  The beach was warm and sunny and I knew this was going to be great!
