Hello, hello! In recapping my recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, so far I've shared a post about our resort as well as our awesome sailboating excursion. Today's post is the last trip recap I'm sharing, and it's about one of my favorite travel topics (well let's be real, one of my favorite topics in general): the food! Traveling internationally as a vegetarian can definitely be a challenge - especially because I'm kind of particular in that I like my food fresh and healthy. I had been to Mexico a couple of times before, and what I expected in the cuisine was to have at least a few options everywhere I went. I mean, how hard is it to make dishes just full of veggies, avocado, tortillas, and cheese? Unfortunately, eating was a bit tougher than I anticipated. Meat, meat and more ... [Read More]

Cabo Adventures Luxury Sailboat Excursion {Travel Review}
"Life is like sailing. You can use any wind to go in any direction." - Robert Brault When planning my recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, while my agenda was mostly to relax, I also wanted to get out to sea for an excursion. I love doing trip research beforehand, and there was no shortage of options for some adventure out on the water - not surprising for a place that's situated with the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Sea of Cortez on the east. My hubby & I narrowed it down to what seemed like the best fit for our adventure. One of the perks of being in Cabo at the start of their slow tourist season is that there was no need to make excursion reservations in advance. On Sunday evening we booked a tour with our resort concierge for the next morning. We decided on ... [Read More]
Cabo San Lucas Travel Review: Staying at Hacienda Encantada
Hi friends! I'm back in California after a lovely vacation in Mexico, so now it's time for a travel recap! I planned this trip as a surprise for my hubby's 30th birthday. He doesn't actually turn 30 until July, but a trip over Memorial Day worked out well since we both had long weekends off of work. After much debate, I decided on visiting Cabo San Lucas. Adam had only been to Tijuana in Mexico and had never gone on a Mexican vacation, and Cabo was easy for us to get to from San Diego, so it made for a great destination for a 4-day trip! Located on the southern tip of Mexico's Baja peninsula, Cabo is a 2-hour flight from San Diego. I was able to get us a suite at a Cabo resort called Hacienda Encantada through a timeshare that we own. Sometimes with trading our ... [Read More]
A Day in Baja, Mexico [Travel Recap]
Living in the San Diego area, crossing the border into Mexico has been long on my bucket list... and last weekend, I finally got to check it off! As an American, the concept of being able to just hop over a country border by land is interesting to me. It's not something I've gotten to do very much. In my European travels, I've crossed borders in trains and busses, but I barely have known when I've crossed into another country since it's not necessary to go through customs between European Union countries... but the idea of literally walking over a border? Intriguing! The 4-day Thanksgiving weekend seemed like the perfect chance to spend a day exploring Baja. I've found that there are two categories of Southern California residents when it comes to Baja travel: a.) ones who ... [Read More]
