Hills of Jalisco

One more time for the people in the back – it was my third Mexican jaunt this fall and I was beginning to get nervous the airport folks would think I was a drug mule. Thankfully, Mexico let me back in the beautiful country. A 24 hour layover in Mexico to keep my airline status…If I…

Thompson East

After a particularly intense week of work, one of my lovely ladies and I decided to take the rest of the week and test drive the new Thompson Playa del Carmen. We meant to bat lashes and score two beds, but upon encountering a band of chic ladies working the front desk, we opted for…

Cabo, Tres & Quattro

The last couple days have been a blur. A hurricane hit. No power. No water. The storm hit overnight. It was truly terrifying. Since sleep wasn’t an option, I stayed awake all night to enjoy the lightening show and guess when the balcony swing would crash through my door. Somehow it didn’t! Even prior to…

Cabo, Day Dos

The day began with my busted up beach bag warranting its own chair at breakfast. Hot date. Followed by far too much breakfast and a walk on the beach to burn it off. I kept getting hit by surprisingly large waves so it didn’t last too long. A day at the pool reading, drinking and…

Cabo, Day Uno

On zero sleep, and dodging a hurricane, I rolled into Cabo right on schedule. First item of business was some decent food! Complimentary guacamole would be a solid start. Thanks, love. Followed by grilled octopus tacos…be still my heart. I checked into this superb room. Took in the view from the balcony. And changed for…

Moon Over Mexico

I’m so over-the-moon in love with life today. I’ve basically been waiting for this day for a year, but particularly this summer. I finally get to execute a trip of my selection! And it’s going to be romantic AF, just the way vacation should be. That’s right, I’m returning to The Cape Hotel in Cabo…

Cabo, Part Tres and a Night at Edith’s

Day three! On the final day, my bestie decides to make a Mexican appearance. For 24 hours. Yet, delays did what they do and she only was in Cabo for 18 hours. Crazy, crazy lady. While I missed my friend the last few days, I was in this great zen state- gorgeous destination, reading, writing,…

Cabo, Part Dos & an Evening at The Sunset da Mona Lisa

Hey, aren’t you curious as to what I did on the rest of my trip to Cabo? I forgot to tell you! It’s really exciting stuff! So the second day kind of sucked because of this arch was blocking my view.    Jokes. It kind of sucked becuase I had to work all moring, but at…

From Rays to Manta Rays

After a long day of splashing about this body of water, looking at these rocks, I decided to take my party of one inside… …where I made my own body of water, both in this beautiful copper tub and all over the floor. Whoops. I made the executive decision that the half bottle of champagne…

Cabo San Lucas, Day One

Having wrapped my head around taking a girls’ weekend alone, I couldn’t wait to lounge in the sun, read, and write. I was over the moon looking forward to this getaway, especially after a much more taxing work even than I’d even anticipated. A sucker for nice things AND a deal, I couldn’t wait to see…
