There IS a reason why you got such good airfare and hotel rates, yorm.
Yes, the adventure of a lifetime could be in the making.
More likely is a constant feeling of being totally exhausted by 10am each day from the way the humidity and heat will sap you.
Is that the kind of vacation you're looking for?
Some of the locals have the advantage of slipping slowing into the heat and humidity over the preceeding months. You will hit the wall, running.
Plan to come at a time when you can enjoy the Cape from outside an air-conditioned whatever. You really cant acclimate in four days.

Well, thanks for the warning but the tickets are booked.
We plan to do a lot of driving/exploring and probably three nights of camping. Hopefully we'll catch a break from the heat at higher elevations...
Can anyone recommend a vehicle? Is a 4x4 a good idea?

If you decide on October try to plan it to avoid the Bisby Fishing Tournment. It is filled to the brim then. And if fishing is your pleasure try to
get there before the Bisby, or a week or two later.
Have fun.

Bob,
Thanks for correcting me on the spelling.
I didn't want a first time visitor to Cabo to hit town during that tournament if they wanted to go fishing for the first time.

If there is any way at all you can change the time of your visit I encourage you to do so. My fist visit to southern Baja was in September and I
hated it - hagted it!!! God awful heat and humidity. It is a miracle I ever agreed to come back. We stayed in our hotel room with the a/c on and
coulnd't even see out for the steamed up windows. No fun. No way you could possibly camp. This is a wonderful part of the world but not in
September. Would you go to Quebec in January? We now live her fulltime but always - always find somewhere to go for September!!!!!!!!!!!

A suggestion
Buy a big umbrella and two large ice chests....fill the ice chests with ice and Pacifico, sit under umbrella, drink Pacifico. If the umbrella blows
away, grab the ice chests and find shelter.

Dont get scared off, stick to your guns. Yes it will be hot but take the appropriate precautions, drink a lot of fluids (of course), look for a shady
bar or a bar with shade and enjoy............suerte.

My personel experience is that Cabo San Lucas is a fun place to be during tourneys,
especially as the boats return for the weigh-in each day... I was there for the Billfishing Tournement last October and had a great time .... And at
the Marina Sol at dinnertime the restaurant would be filled people bringing in that special catch for Sashimi .... The only way to have it fresher is
to do it on the boat ~~~~~~~~  Don't think I would want to llive in
CSL, but it can be an exiting place to visit. CaboRon

fisherman but I still enjoy the energy..........

Osoflojo, How refreshing to hear something positive about Cabo San Lucas !! After reading so many
negative posts on this Forum, I was beginning to question my own memories.... I'll admit I have not [after the day's adventure's] stayed up
late enough to partake of the Cabo night-life so I wouldn't know what to think of that experience .... but I do enjoy all of the outdoor activities.
The only thing I really HATE  is the endless pestering of the 'Time
Share Salesmen ', who are (in my opinion) barely a step above Carney Hucksters and I really, really, really wish they would be marched over the
sand falls in the bay. And no, I will not recind the previous
comment....... in spite of the ire which I now expect to be directed this way. CaboRon On my last visit, I was actually offered my choice of hookers
if I would attend the presentation; I demurred on sanitation grounds.

My point about visiting during the Tourney was very specific. If they wanted to go fishing that would not be a good time, as most boats are taken,
and there will be extreme fishing pressure during the tourney.
If you like it crowded, and the excitement by all means. Not my bag. Last time I was there during the Bisbee there were 3 cruise ships in port also,
too many people for this Baja Traveler.

You are right Ron, it is not the same place either of us were attracted to many years ago but it does not have to be what so many others can not see
beyond. I still hang with my friends from 20 years ago and have not been in the Cabo Wabo since the day it opened. FYI, the time share crap has
abaited considerably since the early/mid 90's.Thank god..............
