Sadly-Cabo Cancelation

Sadly due to Hurricane Odile battering the Cabo area we are forced to cancel our trip. The first timeshare we were to stay in with our friends cannot accommodate us because of severe damage. We can cancel our reservation with Villa and not be charged at this point in time so that’s what we are doing.  Alaska Airlines is very accommodating as well and will change, rebook, or cancel with a full refund. We will just cancel at this point in time.  So now we have 2 weeks on the books for 2015 with Villa and we will decide what to do later on. Too bad, we are disappointed but we cannot control these things and must remain flexible.  Word has it, from the agent at Villa I spoke with, that Los Cabos International Airport will reopen on October 7. I feel very bad for the people in the Cabo area and the long lasting effects of the lack of tourism in the area.

Flights Are Booked

We booked our flights using some AMEX points and money of course. We will fly on Alaska Airlines out of San Diego on Nov. 1, 12:55pm and arrive in Cabo at 2:59pm. Our return flight is Nov. 15, 5:00pm and we arrive back to San Diego at 6:05pm.  We will have a few days in SD to look around and research our tentative move! We aren’t sure about renting a car in Cabo yet but we will finalize that thought and other details on our Panama Canal Cruise as we will be traveling with the same travel companions!

San Diego Stay…

We decided we would drive to San Diego and fly to Cabo from there, then spend a few days in San Diego upon our return to look around for areas we may want to rent. We’ve reserved an Airbnb room with Mia, a very sweet sounding Brasileira!  We haven’t figured out just where we will keep our car but we will probably go down the night before and get a hotel with free (inexpensive) parking for the duration of the time in Cabo.
