One Week
At this time next week, I’ll be lounging on the beach in Cabo San Lucas with a drink in hand, doing nothing but chillin’ like a villain.
Mike and I haven’t been on a vacation since we went down the shore a couple of years ago and he doesn’t even count that. Had my brother not been getting married, we’d probably still not gone anywhere. What’s even better is that my whole family is going, plus my grandmother and her friends, Kristen and her mom my cousins and uncle-who-is-like-my-brother. In all, there will be 52 people going- 22 specifically on our side of the family. It will simply be drunken madness all around.
I’m also- kudos to me for being such a bargain hunter. I ended up saving Mike and I $450. I originally booked straight through the hotel. Then Kristen said her travel agent said they were running a special. So I switched my reservation and saved $300. Then I wanted to pay upfront and the hotel wouldn’t let me. So I got on Fun Jet’s site and booked the same exact room for $150 less. SCORE.
We’ve bought so much clothes for the trip and just stuff. It’s absurd, but I’ma look so cute. My dress for the wedding is so cute. White sleeveless empire waist A-line with brown, gold and sand colored flowers on it. Bronze peep-toe sling back wedges to go with it. I even got cute bathing suites. As cute as I can be in a bathing suite, anyway. Everything is colored coordinated from my flip flops to my beach bag- brown, bronze and black.
I call my look Chubby Chic: Even though it’s bigger, it’s still fabulous.
Mikey got lots of new stuff, too! Shorts, t-shirts, plaid shirts, a sage linen shirt for the wedding, flip flops and a couple of hats. We so cute.
So, the countdown is ON.
Sun. Beach. Chi-chi all-inclusive hotel. Me, Mikey and the fam tearing up Cabo.
I CAN’T wait!
-Dreamin’ of sipping champagne on the beach.

Thank goodness you posted…here I was all worried you had succumbed to some sort of Diva Flu!
I love that you included an elaborate description of your and Mike’s vacation ensembles; this is the kind of
thing I LIVE for! I am terribly, wonderfully impressed with the level of planning and general fabulosity here.
Dr. Ding wishes she were accompanying y’all, but all that metallic shoe leather + sunlight might create a rip in the
space-time continuum or some weird shit like that.
Have a delightful time and post pics of your outfits later. I could care less about the scenery!
Luv,
Dr. Ding
Wait, your family is going too?
Cancel the trip.
YAY for Cabo!!! I’m so excited!
I can’t believe how fast this got here. I remember talking about it in November when I was there…
I’m SO sad that I can’t go, especially since it’s my b’day, but I know you guys are gonna have a FABULOUS time!! For my birthday wish, I request LOTS of drunken video that actually gets posted. Kthx.

LOVE YOU GUYS! Have an amazing time, don’t burn up the beach with your hot ensembles!
