Cabo Bound
It's been a long, 70-hour work week... and a
long nine months of such long hours since my
decision to withdraw from law school. I've done
weekend trips
here and there, but with travel time factored in,
the excursions have felt almost too rushed to
really be called vacations.
Not so this week, when I travel down to the tip
of the Baja peninsula with friends for a week of
relaxation in Cabo San Lucas. Mesmerized by
photographs of the area's scenic beauty, I have
long wanted to visit Cabo. Clear blue water, the
rocks and famous arch of Land's End, luxurious
resorts and más tequila! For years,
I've heard about Mexico's resort towns, but have
never traveled beyond Ensenada (except for a visit
to Guadalajara). Now, I get to see if Cabo is like
an inexpensive Hawaii with Mexican flavor, or an
overgrown Mexican tourist trap with too much
American flavor. I'd prefer the former, but since
all I plan to do is go scuba diving, drink
margaritas by the pool and hit the bars, it doesn't
really matter to me. There will be other
opportunities to discover the "real" Mexico. Right
now, I just want to relax and blow off steam.
Though this column won't be updated this week,
I'll continue to write each day, and will post the
entire week's columns upon my return. Until then,
vayan con Dios.
