We were up at 4:30 AM.  John drove us to Neva’s house to pick her up and we headed for the airport for a 9:30 flight.  We had no idea what the traffic would be like that early in the morning so to be safe we took the I-215 around the valley to the west.  We arrived at the airport by 7 and the biggest delay was waiting for the wheelchairs.  Both Neva and I requested a chair to get around the airports.  Our flight boarded on time but there was a long delay getting to the take-off area.  The problem with the delay was that we only had 30 minutes to get to our connecting flight in Los Angeles.  That worked out well for us after the flight to Cabo was changed to the same airplane we were on.  We only had to deplane for the cleaning and re board the same airplane.

The flight to Los Cabos was uneventful and we arrived there at about 2:30. By the time we got to our transportation and arrived at the Hacienda Del Mar it was 4:30.  Our unit was ready and we got settled in pretty quickly.

The special at Girasoles was Fajitas.  We had a great dinner there and had plenty of left overs.

Back at the unit we played our domino game.  Neva won.

It was a long day and we were in bed by 10 PM.

We slept in this morning.  Our only plan was to make a trip into Cabo to pick up groceries at Costco.  We got around to that at about 2 PM and were back at the Hacienda Del Mar in time for the owners welcome party.  We didn’t win any of the door prizes.  They served chicken empenadas, BBQ ribs, salsa and chops.  The food was good and was our supper.

Neva and the Mariachis

Our domino game was won by Neva by a large margin.  We didn’t even play the double zero round, neither of us had a chance of catching her.

This morning we went to a presentation at the new property, Solaz, being sold during construction.  These presentations are called member updates but are in reality pitches to upgrade to a more expensive contract.  They make a lot of offers to entice buyers. The design of that property was more modern than the Hacienda Del Mar.  It was also more money.  We passed on any changes and went back to our resort.  We did get breakfast for the 3 of us plus $100 for use in the restaurants at our resort.

Neva had already returned to the Hacienda Del Mar and we met her in the pool area in time for the last three games of Loteria.  We didn’t win any of the games.  There was some whale activity.  It was pretty far offshore but we could see them blowing and they jumped several times.

Dinner was Mondays left overs plus a fresh salad.   Our domino game was won by Gerri.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
