Thanksgiving in Mexico

I've been to Mexico many times, and am very lucky to have family members that work in the travel industry. Last week, we spent Thanksgiving at a resort in San Jose Del Cabo. There are many things I could say about our trip, like that the water was the cobaltest of blues I’ve ever seen, or that the aromas of incense and hibiscus were purely intoxicating. But that’s expected. I’d like to impart some of the more indulgent stop-the-train moments.

1.   There appear to be five hotel staff members assigned per guest. If you want one of them to bring you a piece of German chocolate, apply organic suntan lotion to your elbows, or remove your contact lenses, they’ll make you believe there's nothing they’d rather do.

2.   Fresh fish like red snapper and sea bass is literally caught 10 minutes before guests consume it. 

3.    The property’s fine dining restaurant is overseen by a chef who doesn’t require a last name.

4.    Sewing kits are customized to the colors of your wardrobe. I’ll repeat that: sewing kits are customized to the colors of your wardrobe.

5.    Robes are pre-embroidered with your initials.

6.    Bath towels are large enough to cover a city block.

The hardest decision we had to make was what type of fruit we wanted in our room in the morning and what type of cocktail snacks we preferred in the afternoon. Sigh.
