    You are right. DId I forget to mention that? my bad.

    Yes, there is a swim up jacuzzi bar open to 230 in the morning but the hottub stays open as late as you want it. I can't believe I forgot to mention that.

    Those prices were just at the airport, highway robbery if you ask me. I don't know what a bottle of Cabo Wabo costs anywhere, but here is a comparison. I went to duty free on the way back, thought I would get a great deal, a 26er of CaboWabo was like 66US$, I thought holy $hit, your kidding me. I thought maybe everything was prced too high, I asked to see some Canadian Whisky and got two bottles of Crown Royal, and these were 40 ouncers for 34 US$., go figure.

    Everywhere else that we went was reasonable off the resort. We went into Cabo St Lucas, we did the tour out to the famous rock, that only cost us 10.00, on the way the guy stopped at the little marina, I got 3 beers (one for the driver), that was like 5 bucks or something, Sammy Hagar's, a couple Corona's were about 5 bucks, even in that high end mall, they let us negotiate in the silver jewellery stores, They started Barb off at 80.00 for a ring, we paid 33.00.

    We ate at Appleby's, MacDonald's, went into San Jose Del Cabo, went to a tequilla store, everything except the airport wherever we went was reasonable.

    Oh good, I was just worried that if we did do an off the resort excursion that it would cost an arm and a leg and I love to go see the town and city when i go away, so it would have been way to expensive at the airport prices you mentioned.... thats a big part of my decision making, as its around a 6 hour flight (which sucks) so if it was a lot more expensive, then I was just going to rule it out and head back to cancun as usual, however if its reasonable and having never been to the west coast, its pretty appealing.....

    The fridge is also stocked similarily to Cancun, (a couple beers in the fridge), so of you can't find a drink, you can always grab a beer out of your fridge.

    The melange bar used to be open until 7 in the morning, but it wasn't when we were there three weeks ago. So after 230 in the morning, not much open except on thursday friday and saturdays when the disco is open till 4 or 5

    that is still better than nice shoes in cacnun - they shut down around 1 the last few times we have been - really a shame too as they never seem to open that place and when they do its not that good really

    no wonder i go to bed at midnight every trip lol

    except when we went off the resort - the night we went to bulldogs i was up all night - ummmmmm maybe there is a reason -------- it was fun :)

    Thanks Rob, that may be a good idea, as the thought of 6 and a half hours on a plane makes my ass pucker worse then the thought of a sequel to broke back mountain
