I just returned from the GVG Tours Winter Getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It was a great trip with great people, many of whom have been going on the winter getaway for many years. It is interesting to note that many people have heard of Cabo but have no idea where it is-It is located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. It has gone from a sleepy resort town to a major tourist destination. I was amazed at the number of new resorts that seem to pop up every year. It is also a place where the rich and famous like to come. At the Cabo airport, there were over twenty private jets- each time I see one I can only imagine-no TSA, luxury seats, great food, and on my schedule.
Some yachts were complete with a helicopter and every comfort known to man. I guess if I had my own jet that I really should also have my own yacht (I believe that the prices of GVG trips would have to go up significantly).
Life is difficult at an all inclusive resort on the ocean with four swimming pools, multiple restaurants, and nightly entertainment- What to do all day? Which restaurant to eat at? Swim in the ocean or a pool? Shall I play cards at 5:00? Go into Cabo to do some shopping? Isn’t life difficult? Somehow everyone managed to make it through in fine fashion. One great aspect of the getaway is that it breaks up winter- in fact while we were gone there was a major snowstorm and ice storm back in Wisconsin. I would call that good planning by Christina of GVG Tours.
Without a doubt the best part of the getaway is the fellowship among the people- newbies and vets. We talk about our families, solve world problems, share memories, tell stories and jokes. In many ways, we are like a family - looking out for each other and enjoying the company. Next year our Winter Getaway (February 7-15) will be at the all-inclusive RIU Palace Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Why don’t you join us?
