Travel Larry and Debbie Adventures

We decided to take a drive from Cabo San Lucas to Todos Santos.  We've never been outside of Cabo San Lucas as there is so much to do there.  Todos Santos is a quiet "artsy" town with a real down home charm.  We weren't sure what to expect, but figured why not.  The drive is about one hour north along the Pacific Ocean.  On Google maps, the road looks like it runs along the ocean and it sort of does, but not as close as you would think.  There's not much between Cabo San Lucas and Todos Santos, so not many places to stop along the way.  The road is mostly highway. When we got to Todos Santos, the charm was immediate.  I had forgotten that the Hotel California (Eagles song) was there.  We drove around a bit because like any Mexican town, parking is not easy to find.  We decided to have lunch at Tequila Sunrise.  At first, it looked like a "touristy" restaurant, but trust me, the family owned vibe was noticeable.  Debbie had a ch...

The first day is always filled with a bit of chaos as it's our travel day.  We left Spokane at 5am and arrived in Cabo around 3pm.  The past couple of years have been pretty easy because of reduced travel caused by COVID and travel restrictions.  This year was the busiest I have seen it.  The customs lines were long, but they move quickly.  I am amazed at the number of people that try to get ahead of everyone else in line...like they're the most important person in the world.  It requires a lot of patience, which I am short on (ask Debbie).

My wife, Debbie and I enjoy travelling.  One of our favorite places to go is Cabo and Mazatlan in Mexico.  We also enjoy other places, but we go to these two places once a year every year.  We've met some amazing people and the servers are terrific.  Last year, Debbie and I were at the Sky Pool at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach (PBSB), and we were sitting beside a group of women who were by the pool as their husbands played golf.  It was their first time to PBSB, and we were giving them suggestions on how to tip the servers, places to eat, and things to do.  After a couple of drinks, they started calling me "Travel Larry" as they could see how much I love coming to Mexico.  Then, on the way down this trip, there was another couple that were first time Cabo visitors on our plane flight.  We were talking to them about where to go, what to see, where to eat, and how to tip the servers (the key to success at the resorts).  Again, they were like "you ...
