We went to Cabo San Lucas for a week. We flew Continental to Houston from Toronto. I just want to warn my fellow travelers that fly out from Pearson Airport to beware that if their flight is supposed to leave before 6:30 AM do not take a tight connection.
Apparently flights are not allowed to leave Pearson before 6:30, even if they’re scheduled for 6:00 or 6:05. The neighbours around the airport have complained about the noise of the planes taking off, and that is why 6:30 is the earliest planes will take off. Which is all good, except airlines should just schedule starting at 6:30, this will prevent people from having REALLY TIGHT connections and having to run from one gate to the other to catch their Houston-Cabo flight. We could have been scheduled for the later flight, if we had known that planes never make it on time due to the time restriction (apparently it’s the same in Washington DC, again, hopefully airlines do not schedule flights for earlier hours when planes can’t take off).
In short, we made it to Cabo, but our suitcases didn’t! Yes, we were in Cabo with no clothes. James’s suitcase made it in the afternoon but mine didn’t get there until late at night. I just want to commend the ground personnel of Continental in the San Jose del Cabo airport. They were amazing, I mean they didn’t do anything that was not the standard (report the missing luggage, take our name, etc.) but it’s just the manner that makes a difference. They were super nice and courteous and in this day and age of bad service by earlines and airport employees, the good manners and pleasant service makes a BIG difference.

18:34
Firemen are here!

(sorry about the crappy unfocused picture, I was too excited)
18:38
The fire truck is waiting in the street for the firemen that are inspecting my floor.

18:40
Getting ready to possibly evacuate. Firemen still inspecting.
18:42
Ok alarm has been silenced, no need to evacuate.
18:44
Oh, for goodness sakes, the alarm is going off again!
18:45
Decided to just wait here until I’m called out by the fire department.
18:46
They’re knocking on everyone’s door except mine. Weird! (they probably want me burned down or something!)
18:58
What is it with firemen that they’re always cute? Apparently it’s all clear now. Good, because alarm was giving me headache. Now, beer.

Today we biked all the way to the east part of beaches, via Little India and back to the west side through the Lakeshore. All in all it was approximately 21 km, so a good distance for training for our possible bike trip to Kingston later this summer. We’ll see if we actually can do the trip.
We had dinner at Udupi Palace, and it was super delicious. The restaurant is all vegetarian and they do vegan anything (except panner/cheese, of course).
We had a good Wednesday afternoon.
