Enjoy the sites of Los Cabos Mexico


Whether you're looking to get married; celebrate a birthday/anniversary or just wanting a getaway vacation, Los Cabos Mexico is a BEAUTIFUL place to visit. I had the opportunity to stay at the Dreams Suites Golf Resort and Spa  in a junior suite with an ocean view. The rooms are spacious and very clean. I was also very impressed with the service from the front desk right up to the service on the beach.

As a first timer at any type of resort I wasn't sure what to expect but was amazed by how friendly and helpful the staff were on the resort. I was warned by many who have stayed in different resorts in Mexico that I should be wary of locals who constantly bombard guests around the beaches selling trinkets or pushing to braid your hair for a fee.  At Dreams I didn't experience any of these issues as the beach is private and protected.

I thoroughly enjoyed the daily activities provided by the resort. The children who travelled with us spent most of their days at the resort's child minding camp where they participated in active games and activities such as swimming, dance, arts/ crafts and bungee.

Many activities provided by the resort were family friendly and great for people of all ages.  One of my FAVOURITE activities was releasing sea turtles, karaoke and beachball volleyball. What a dream come true! If there wasn't an activity that was provided by the resort, they happily directed you to companies such as Sunquest that booked day trips for scuba diving; swimming with dolphins; visiting the local city or deep sea fishing.


An infinity pool was located right in the middle of the resort where you could play volleyball without distracting those lounging in the pool or swim up to the walk up bar to grab an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage.  For those who preferred a kid free environment, there was also an adults only pool surrounded by beautiful palm trees and hammocks.

The food was surprisingly very good and the selection of restaurants ranged from Italian cuisine to Asian cuisine or even surf and turf. Nightly entertainment ranged from fire throwers to magic or music.

Whether you are travelling as a family or alone, Los Cabos is a beautiful place to be. I give the resort 4 stars!

The Great Canadian Bungee- An adventure of a lifetime!










The Great Canadian Bungee- http://www.bungee.ca/

Sunday August 31st, 2008. In search of continued extreme adventures (and a need to do something completely nuts to fill a 'void') my journey begins...again...Feel the adrenaline with me...Picture this: 200 feet up high on a tower...the boys who prep you for your jump call "next jumper"...I walk towards them where I am greeted by an Aussie Dive Master, Nick,a guy with dread locked hair and another guy from Chilie. The Aussie guy who spoke to me earlier that day calls out "aw, this girls got no fear, she's can handle it put her in the water"...They check and double check my harnest and make sure I'm hooked in right.I'm asked to walk towards the platform...the Chilian opens up the gate so that I can stand at the edge...I look down...there are people on the ground calling out but all I hear is indistinct 'white noise'...the countdown starts...5...4...3...2...1....I jump!...I scream all the way down...landing head first into a few feet of water I spring back almost all the way back towards the platform. ...At the 2nd free fall decend my shoe falls off...I stop screaming...all I can think of is 'oh shizah, where the heck is my shoe and how the heck am I going to go zip lining next without it....' The springing of the cord begins to slow down...there is someone at the bottom in a raft who grabs onto my arms and brings me safely back onto gravity'---we find my shoe...its floating just a few feet away....thank goodness...zip lining would have definately been interesting bare foot...what a rush!Will I ever do it again?!?! Hellz yeah! I was ready right after this jump! LOL! ;)
