The trip started last Wednesday. We all stayed at my friend Sarah's parents timeshare, which was by far the nicest place I have ever stayed. It was up in the hills and very secluded. We had a cleaning lady that came everyday, our own concierge and shuttle drivers. Our villa had our own infinity pool and breathtaking views. Here is what we saw when we went outside:
One of the main living areas:
A picture of all of us girls out on the veranda on the first day:
The first night we took Sarah's parents out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. There are better pics of the group but this one cracks me up. No one was paying attention but these 2 yahoos were totally up for their getting their pictures taken:
The margaritas were soooo strong. Everyone only had one but it made us all kinda loopy:
We had some locals serenade us. Of course we requested some of the local favorites - Feliz Natividad and La Bamba:
The next day we hung out at our pool all day and then cooked dinner at night. Elena cooked yummy fish and Betsy made a delicious pureed mango salsa to go on top of it. A few people also had hamburgers. We had a dance party USA after dinner. Boots stood on a chair for the good portion of the night:
Our friend Lonni had to wear a brace and walk with crutches the entire time because she tore her "not sure what word is" and has to have surgery on her leg on Tuesday. Here is her "good leg" and BK:
On Friday we all went to the main pool that all the villas share. I am so sad that I forgot my camera that day. The view was absolutely beautiful. It also had an infinity pool that overlooked all ocean. Once I get a pic from one of the other girls I will post it! We sad at the pool most of the day and had fruity drinks....and a Sprite too!
When we got back we all sat outside on one of the villas patios:
Nancy and I got in the hot tub, which we quickly learned was broken and about 1/8 of the water had been poured out from all of us girls getting in the night before. We had to call the maintenance people and they drained it and did a complete overhaul on it.
Friday night we went to dinner at a sushi restaurant (don't know the name). It was really good and we had plenty of wine.
After dinner we all went to the most well known bar in town- Cabo Wabo. Matt had one request and that was we go there and I bring him back something from it. Cabo Wabo is owned by Sammy Hagar- the lead singer of Van Halen, his favorite band. We were only there for a little bit - it was a bit spring breakish for us girls in our 30's. I did get him a t-shirt though:
On Sunday we took a very scary boat ride out to a beautiful beach. Well, no one else thought it was scary but I don't really like boats so I was terrified. It was a small boat and big waves. These guys had to help us in and out of the boat, which was quite the debacle with 2 injured friends. Sara had a broken clavicle and Lonni had the torn whatchamacallit On one of the departures from the boat our friend Nancy was dragged underwater by a huge wave. Even though I have a smile on my face in this picture I was scared to death. Notice how much the boat is leaving to one side.
The beach the boat took us to was called Lovers Beach. Even though I hated the boat ride I loved the beach. It had the feeling of being on a secluded island.

It was such an amazing trip! I miss you girls already!
