we got to Cabo, checked in at 6pm... got into room at 7pm, a few minor details but all is good. My view is amazing, they didnt have a room with one
bed in the nicer tower so I was a nice demanding gringo and got a little upgrade. It pays to be persistant. my husbands cousin lives here, met him
tonight and when he is not working he will take us around the city.

Cutexianchick, Be sure to take the glass bottom boat tour out to the Arch. About $10. per person: take Ritz crackers to feed the fish, some cold
drinks, tip the Captain and have some fun! For a little extra $ they will take you on a tour of the Bay, around the cruise ships and under the
parachuters. Check out the East Cape area too, stop at Zac's B and G in Zacatitos for lunch or drinks and say Hi to Paul and Angle- they are great
folks with a nice place for travelers to stop. Tell 'em Rock sent you. Also, Art and Beer, on the way to Todos Santos is good fun too. Artisanos,
North of Cabo, across the big bridge over the arroyo, on the right, is a fun place to pick up art and home decorations- three stories of stuff. They
are closed from 2 pm 'till 4 pm for siesta, I think. Enjoy!

thanks Snow. I will try and check out east cape area.
My husbands cousin lives here... he hooked us up with someone that can get us lower prices on the tours. we do the glass bottom tour and then will
drop us off at lovers beach (cruise ship left 2 hours ago)... $7 not bad (its about 30-40% off). I am really considering a time share tour... he has
a friend that can get us in to a good one, $200 or $400 in coupons... promised non aggresive.
We hit costco, sams and walmart up today (exchange 12.63), banks are at about 12.4 havnt exchanged any more money yet. Took a walk in the downtown
area and stopped at his cousins store he works at.

Guess what? I have cancelled my 3 days in san jose and booked at the del arco one bed suite until the 23rd. I love it here... I want to do so much.
We did a time share tour and got really good free tours out of it. Of course we didnt buy and they didnt hard sell us. We have 2 for the dolphin
encounter, 2 for the 3 bay Oceano snorkeling and 2 for the fajita fiesta sunset cruise, one of the better deals out there!!! (daughter is free).

you sound like you are having the time of your life....so many new experiences !! My suggestion: next time you drive south, fill up the gas tank, go
to Santiago which is near (sort of) to Los Barriles. Follow the signs from santiago to sol de mayo. park. pay 75 pesos per person. after a 10 min
hike you will see a waterfall in the middle of the desert with a pool to swim in at the bottom !! it was incredible when we went a month ago ... take
a picnic and spend the day with the kids. truly spectacular and unexpected in the midst of cacti ....

Remember all your questions before the trip? Nomads launched you with a good travel plan, and you also knew what you wanted.
Now you are a veteran Baja traveller! You will be the one giving good advice to newbies next time. Good for you!

I would be more concerned with the yellow water. Floaties can be safely seen and avoided from a distance...

It is just up from the hot springs 'Agua Caliente', drive past the zoo on the old Baja main road and turn right at Agua Caliente to 'El Chorro' (what
I recall reading, have not been there) ...
Mike Humfreville wrote a nice trip report about it... as have many other Nomads... Use the search at the top of the page!

Wow, David, I was sure you were going to reply with detailed maps, GPS Coordinates, pictures and complete 4 part story to go along with it all! VERY
disappointed!
I'll go do a search and see what I come up with, I guess we just missed the turn off because we drove WAY up in the hills before we gave up. Just one
of the roads that pretty much ruined that rental Sentra by the time we returned it!
Thanks!
