Either way, this particular establishment has made the most of the connection and is a fun place to order Tequila Sunrise cocktails (I think the only place we ever do, actually) and enjoy a spot of lunch.<br /><br />I hope you get to Los Cabos soon for I know you'll have a swell time. We always find ourselves there in August, which is a nice time of year to go. It is hot but dry which makes all the difference in the world when sitting poolside.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-40499170871503316612016-09-02T12:37:18.061-07:002016-09-02T12:37:18.061-07:00I AM a big fan of "Hotel California" tho...I AM a big fan of "Hotel California" though I had no idea where it was.

Thank goodness I moved to America where dentistry is a delight.<br /><br />I must admit I'm not much of a fan of "Hotel California" but it has become sort of an inside joke because of the hotel we visit in Todos Santos. It appears that they've built their entire reputation around it which, to us, makes it rather amusing.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-13569189002909260492016-08-30T06:59:21.213-07:002016-08-30T06:59:21.213-07:00A marvelous piece of writing my Dear CD.

I recall vividly stepping out of Dulles Airport to pick up our car rental for the drive to Georgetown and almost fainting at the heat and humidity in June. I've never experienced anything quite like it elsewhere. <br /><br />I've not had the pleasure of visiting Hawaii as I manage to get sidetracked to Mexico being as it is so close to us. On my list though.

It's my happy place away from home.<br /><br />I just heard a hilarious story of a t-shirt purchased in Turkey that had the words "Tommy Hilfinger" written across it. Close but no cigar. I imagine this is the type of merchandise you make reference to. <br /><br />Ah, those espadrilles are favorites of mine. I have them in black too (two black pairs!), and they come out each and every summer. I've had them for at least 10 years and will shed a river when they eventually die.Chronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-46928669926622616962016-08-29T11:27:16.659-07:002016-08-29T11:27:16.659-07:00Hello Diogenes,

However, I highly recommend a stay in Los Cabos if you get an opportunity to visit. Although there is some heat, the cooling breezes make it very pleasant, to say nothing of the stunning scenery.

The reason I have not dis...Hello truth in fashion,<br /><br />The reason I have not disclosed the exact location of our stay which, incidentally, is a place we've frequented on numerous occasions and have been more than happy to return to due <br />to the excellent amenities, service, and wonderful staff is because, alarmingly, it will close at the end of the month for an extensive update and renovation. We are not entirely sure why such updates and renovations are necessary as we find the place to be in impeccable condition and would highly recommend to anyone interested in traveling to Los Cabos. <br /><br />From past personal experience, whenever a favorite hotel <br />or restaurant closes for such purposes, the results usually signal trouble. What I mean by this is that whatever we had previously enjoyed about a place is likely to vanish, only to be replaced with whatever trend du jour has been deemed worthy of appealing to a younger/hipper/different clientele. <br /><br />Do stay tuned though as an acquaintance of mine has already booked her stay there this December. I am hoping to get a full report on the forthcoming changes and will, at that point, update this post with the location if I believe<br />the spirit of why we enjoy staying there has been preserved. I am keeping my fingers crossed as we'd enjoy a return visit in the not too distant future.<br /><br />CDChronica Domushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732224119040843337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454554472800124620.post-30168652241908466132016-08-29T10:39:30.841-07:002016-08-29T10:39:30.841-07:00Awfully hot and humid here in Washington, DC subur...Awfully hot and humid here in Washington, DC suburbs, so cool and foggy sounds like a relief!
