That's what I'm thinking also. Justin and I can fish, wifey can sip drinks at the pool, Nicole can annoy other guest's.
Now I need to find an all inclusive family friendly place in Cabo, got any?

Have you considered Carnaval Cruises to the Mex. Riviera? Plenty to do on board ship for the kids, momma can sunbathe all she wants whilst you sip umbrella drinks at the bar and checking out all the taller than you women you can't have ..... :)

Feb 15th I have a great idea!
Come to Alberta and help me move..I'll make pina collisions by the US gallon and hand out sombrero's ..all the Costco bought taco's you can eat!..I'll call it "all inclusive" We'll just lock the kids up with the horses and make a lifsize Pinata that resembles HH. Now if that aint a bag o fun..I don't know what is!

I bet he is very cool too.
P.S. I tried that one and got no where with the warden.

Kauai, Kiahuna Plantation condos on the beach. Cheaper than you may think. Great for the kids. Open the door out to grassy yards right to the ocean.
http://www.kiahunacondos.com/condos.htm We did these last year and it was great and we have been to kauai 4 times before.
Yep, best tropical vacation buck spent is Hawaii.
And the kids won't come back with Amoebic dysentery.

I always here how expensive it is there, Food etc. Plus the wife really wants a resort deal, (maid service), etc.
Looks great though.

Check the all inclusive deals. Not everything is all inclusive, selective meals from a different menu and alcohol drinks are Pacifico and Corona beer at most places. Other beers are about $4.50 each. Grey Goose and Red Bulls are $10.00. Massages are cheap $70.00 for 2 people for 1 hr and 15 min each. Prices are getting pricey down their now, but hey your on vacation. This was in Puerto Vallarta. Fishing is good also. Cabo is more of a fishing town. Lots of strip clubs and bars also. If you want to travel the town anywhere its better to rent a cab for the day about $80-90 and they will take you everywhere. Just get a price up front. Also they will take you to really nice spots that most tourist don't know about, well worth the money. Excursions are sometimes cheaper to buy them in town instead of at the resort. Good luck.

Don't forget Passports if flying back from Mexico... airline travelers don't get the reprieve that foot and vehicle travelers are getting on this one... I believe the law went into effect today.

5-6 hours up I-15 from Vegas depending on how you drive. Solitude mountain ($53 for all day all access). No lines. Or you could do Alta. Same time, cheaper tickets ($48 for all day all access) and still hardly anyone in line.
