Shopping is always an interest as I have to bring back one “remembrance item” whenever I visit someplace new. In fact if I really like a place, I go back and each time I bring home a new remembrance so that I can look at the item and remember the good times. So Los Cabos has “American-style” malls. Mmmmmm. That does not cause my heart to beat fast. If I want “ American-style malls”, I am right here in the heart of them. Dollars are used here instead of pesos, which makes my stay very easy. That is a selling point for making this my vacation choice. However, American items fill the stores and many are owned by Americans. Again, I live in America. Why do I want to go to a place where I find the same old stuff when I shop? On the other hand there is an “art walk” every Thursday evening and I can get Cuban cigars, Mexican handicrafts, jewelry and apparel, and unique gifts here, as well.
Golf is not my game in any way, shape or form. So I am not interested in the incredible golf packages offered by the resorts. I have read about the golf courses there and they rival any course to be found in Hawaii and the US. For anyone who plays golf as an avocation, Los Cabos could very well be their ideal vacation.
Lying on the beach has some appeal of course but swimming and water sports, while popular and plentiful, do not happen to be my thing either. The under tows can be very strong and it pays to be very careful where you decide to play in the water. I am neither a fisher-person nor a diver nor snorkler. I enjoyed fishing for marlin and mahimahi in Hawaii but to spend a day on a boat fishing is not my idea of a vacation. I can appreciate the folks who live for it. I have known many of them. And I have arranged wonderful fishing expeditions for them. It is just not my idea of MY vacation.
Ah, but there is a day at a spa, being totally spoiled. I have never done an entire day of spoiled rotten spa treatments. Maybe it is time to consider that as one of my excursions. The resorts all have spa packages so I need to look at those packages and consider one of my days being dedicated to being spoiled.
