Sam And Saundra's Second Time Around - Part 34

Sam And Saundra’s Second Time Around – Part 34

Mexico

11/1/10 – 3/1/11 – Yuma Break – Cabo San Lucas

We have not tired of the sun or fun.  Getting spoiled.  We are going for one more adventure – snorkeling.  We opt for the Cabo Escape lunch snorkeling trip.  We get up not so early and catch a taxi to the

wharf.  We get in a little side discussion on the way about what the difference is between a cab and a taxi, and where the two terms came from.  Nope.  Not going to tell you.  We get there early and take another stroll around the dock.  Take a few pictures of puffer fish that swim a little close to the edge.  After unsuccessfully looking for the Cabo Wabo bar – just to say we were there, we watch the boats and ships and birds.  Soon it is time to get onto the large two-story boat that is going to take us into the water to play.  We are going to Chileno Beach that is back up towards Cabo San Jose – as it is an area full of fish and has no large hotels in the way.

Us In Front Of Paradise Portal

Sam Snorkeling

Sam and I choose seats on top – as do most of the guests.  We are barely free of the dock at 11 am, when we are served drinks of our choice.  The bow is pointed toward the Cabo Portal and we follow along.  Great photo op. We speed along, listening to great music and smiling big, big, big.  The sun is shining on the rippling Sea of Cortez and whales are spouting and waving their tales from afar.  Truly, truly grateful.  Sam is issued snorkel gear.  My ‘water proof’ ear plugs no longer work since my ears have changed shapes again due to last year’s activities.  Sam warns the crew as I plan to ‘bob’ when we get there and he does not want to lose me.  Nice man. We get to the beach and one after another the guests turn into sea creatures.  When all who are going are gone, I slip down the ladder in the back, near the pontoons.  The clear light emerald water is full of gentle waves and I inch my way from the ladder, finally letting go.  Two of the crew paddle kayaks around, on safely duty  - probably a good thing considering  the amount of drinks served on the way to this spot.  Out of the blue, one of the crew throws stuff at me.  I was concerned until I realized it was bread crusts and the fish started swarming around me.  Even without my head being underwater, the colors were fabulous and at times I was totally tickled by the fish getting up close. After a long, long time, I looked up and around to try and spot Sam.  They had obviously gone the wrong direction, so I stayed where I was and had a grand time with my new buds.  I was one of the last ones back on board.  I Loved It!

Back on boat, we were served a great lunch.  Entertainment home included a sing along and a dancing contest, along with a ‘treasure hunt’ game that I still am trying to decide if I should have enjoyed it as much as I did.  We got back to the docks around 4 pm. Sam is getting very, very tan and I know for a fact that he enjoyed his two week birthday bash in Cabo.  What a vacation from our vacation!  Wanna go back to Honeymoon Beach Sam? Love you!
