Cabo 2012: The Travel

We had another amazing week in Cabo this year...once we got there!  We had a bit of a mishap when we realized as we were sipping champagne in the limo on the way to the airport that our passports were at home, safely locked away in the safe.  Thankfully, we had an amazing limo driver who raced back to our house and then did a fair deal of speeding to get us up to San Francisco in time to make our flight (we made it!  We were the last people on the plane, but we made it).  Crazy.  Dumb.  Hopefully that will NEVER happen again!

Relief

Whew!  Okay, upon arrival:  popsicles.  Virgin popsicles for the kids, spiked ones for the adults :)

 

 



After an incredibly relaxing week, we were quickly snapped back to reality when our flight home was delayed .... and delayed ... and after sitting on the plane for a while (at least the pilots were super nice and let Luke check out the controls), they decided to let us back into the airport terminal.  Which, at that point, was then closed.  Helpful when you have two hungry kids (and four hungry adults).  We survived, but our trip home included an extra layover in LA where we had to go through customs, change terminals ON FOOT with our bags and two sleeping children, and go back again through security.  When all was said and done, we arrived home around 2am - exhausted, but happy to be home!

The good news, besides that we had an amazing week, is that Alaska Airlines compensated us for our trouble on the return trip, so we are all travelling to Cabo next year on very discounted tickets :)!
