Pat and Julie Travel - La Paz to Cabo San Lucas
June 23 Drove La Paz to Cabo San Lucas – East Road - 131 Miles – 2 hours and 45 minutes. Not a trip for those who get car sick as lots of curves.
Stopped for Geocaching and to buy a bottle of tequila in San Jose del Cabo. Stayed at the all inclusive Riu Palace in Cabo San Lucas. Loved this
resort as the service was amazing as was the view. The property was spotlessly clean. The food was really good for an all inclusive resort, however
we didn't care for the mixed drinks.
Note - Driving Speed on straight stretches was whatever the speed limit sign said, but in miles per hour instead of kilometers per hour. Please do not
lecture, I was not the driver. Driving times and distances are based on our GPS and do not include times when we were stopped for gas, food or
Geocaching. If you don't know what this is, check out www.geocaching.com It is basically a high tech treasure hunt using your GPS. Brings you to great places you would never find otherwise and makes
for a fun, but longer, roadtrip.

Unbelievable the rudeness of some people. I was wanting to provide an up to date posting of travel times and distances between certain locations on
the Baja. I am new to this forum, but based on the comments I am receiving, I will probably not continue. Too bad as I am sure there are others who
probably feel the same that could offer some good information.

Don't be discouraged. Your post was interesting and useful. Over time you'll develop a thick skin on this board, and comments like your "friend's"
won't get to you.

Julie,
Perhaps you could post all of these mileage and observations as a single thread since much of the verbiage seems to copy and pasted.
Don't feel uncomfortable about these posts. We have one individual here that sometimes creates threads of nothing but gps coordinates (and people find
them useful).

The purpose of my using separate posts instead of a single one was that when I tried to find information by searching Loreto to Cabo, nothing would
come up. I figured there might be people wanting information on segments only. The title said what my post was about, if someone is not interested
in the title, then they shouldn't waste their time reading it. I have no idea who pattravels is, definitely not my husband.

Try to search on 'Loreto to Cabo' now. You'll find this thread 'La Paz to Cabo' comes up as well as 'Loreto to Cabo'.
The search searches the content of every post as well as the title.
So you could accomplish your goal and still have it all in the same thread.
Regarding PaulTravels: read this.
