Howdy From Cabo!
It’s that time again! Another birthday trip! When my birthday twin told me we were going to Cabo, even without the guest list, there was no way I could say no. So the journey begins….I caught my Southwest flight out of MCO connecting to Hobby. Just like every good group trip there’s the group chat. There were a few people who mentioned being on a flight out of Houston so of course we had to link. I appreciate cordial people! Yeah, this is our first time meeting, but Ima be with you all weekend so we might as well get to know each other.
Getting through the Cabo airport was an experience lol This time, I grabbed my White Hennesey bottles when I landed because I’m always the first flight out returning and nothing is open. The ride to the Riu Palace Baja California Resort was loooooooooong. When we get to the resort, the time is 3pm, they have us somewhat do a group check in. Some got their keys, others were told to go hang by the pool because rooms aren’t ready. At this point I have been traveling since 4am ET and honestly didn’t sleep the night before because I was scared about missing my flight lol I was heated. If check in is 3pm, I want to go to my room, not be told that my room needs 2 more hours. Long story short, my room was ready in 45 minutes and the manager stated a bottle of wine would be delivered to my room. Great gesture, bottle never made it.
Of course we got a boat. I enjoyed the boat a lot! I’m such a water girl and the views out there were amazing. I didn’t have my phone much on the boat because I’m scary like that but yall have to take my word for it on the views lol
Just when I thought it was time to take a nap they start yelling about a foam party next door. Next thing I know, people are buying champagne guns, white girls trying to touch hair and dudes with Napoleon syndrome. Oh and a crowd favorite, brides.
Crush Nightspot was the move for this trip. I feel like the only thing I can say is that asses were shown. We had people climbing over balconies and getting kicked out, breaking half of Crush’s inventory of shot glasses and entitled couples who forgot they were guest of a guest. To know me is to know I don’t take well to confusion and intense situations flare my anxiety. It got so bad; I had a panic attack in the club. I was nervous about people falling over the balcony, all the shot glasses we broke, security everywhere, people in the group popping off on other people in the group. I just wanted it all to stop and us enjoy the birthday crew but I was not in control of that situation. One of my new homies saw I wasn’t doing well and invited me outside for a breath of fresh air. This was the second wind that I needed to be more present for the birthday crew.
For the final day, I decided to kick it around the resort and go to the spa. This was my first time getting a body wrap and it was amazing! Ugh! This lady was good! Just the right amount of pressure, woke me up gently from my nap and took her time. I felt so refreshed and ready to finish the trip with the group. The end of the trip was chill and of course I was the first flight out on Monday so no sleep for me lol Every time I travel, I’m reminded of how strict USA TSA is. Maybe it’s an economic thing but it’s clear when it comes to security at the airport. I flew Delta home and it was AWESOME! I’m a Silver Medallion member so I go through sky priority to check in AND free upgrades. I was upgraded to first class for 2/3 flights! Talk about a great way to end the trip lol
This was my last international trip and it was a smooth way to end the summer lol I appreciate when my name and genuine are used in the same sentence.
Let’s see where I’m off to in the states!
