uhm, it was an awesome trip.
Saturday morning, though, I woke up with a cold
. At least that was the day we left.
It was pretty awesome (I'll post pics once they're online). Very cool place to go right now. Its an old fishing community that is in the midst of becoming a giant tourist city. Its weird, half built buildings everywhere on the side of town we stayed in...7-8 new hotels going up all at once on the other side of the city. EVERYONE I ran into there spoke english which is better than I can say for people in my town...which is SO backwards. Super nice local people, way cool.
We met these 2 dudes on wednesday & one of them (the other was gay) tried picking up our girls that were with us...all week he tried this. He was a very cool dude though. Ends up being that he is some millionaire college drop out. Took a chance 5 years ago & got lucky, now owns some resort company (or at least works high up in it) with 42 employees. Honestly, the dude (over the week) dropped $300 on trying to pick up the girls (drinks, clubs, etc)...even bought us (the guys) drink & recommended a good strip club when we mentioned we were going to the very pricy one.
LOL:one night we were all swimming in our pool & the GM of the hotel kick the dude (Ryan) out...this was wednesday. Friday night he walked Tracy back to our hotel & the GM ended up calling the police because he was pissed at Ryan (I guess Ryan complained to the GM's boss...Ryan supposedly knows the hotel owner well). Quite amusing.
All in all, awesomely fun. Drank legally...never got smashed so it was good, visited all the good stuff to do there. Only regret is going tues-sat...if you go during the dead months go on the weekends. Each night was decently slow at the clubs, except friday night...that was intense & fun. My shy self ended up actually talking to people. Ryan gave a niftly little "pep talk" kinda thing re: picking up girls/life...its all just a goal, if you want it take it. If you dont take the risk there will always be someone else there to take it instead...and never think there is any reason you can't get it (which was weird hearing because I knew that's what he was doing with our friend [who has a boyfriend]...but whatever, he was cool).
View from our hotelthe hotel (Baja Hotel)Bottom floor of 1 wing of hotel we WERE going to stay atSame floorOur original hotel reserved the rooms on a credit card, they never charged it though...so when we got there & their CC machine was broken we had to find a new place to stay. Baja was closer to the ocean &
Manny's Beach Club (the only club with stuff really happening during the off season. It was right on the beach too!) & $15/night cheaper! Worked out nicely since we were quoted wrong on the van & ended up payin glike $200 something more than we thought we were going to.
