Csl: 8/24-8/28/17 trip report
Guys, do not read this if you were looking for a lot of Intel on chicas down there. This was one of the most boring trips I've ever taken in my life but I still wanted to post a trip report anyway enjoy if you can.
8. 24-8. 28.17.
TRANSPORTATION: LFT-DFW- left 10 min late, touch down about 17 min early but wait on tarmac for 30 min, so is it an early arrival or not? Leave DFW 20 min late. 2 h16 m flight time. Flight back on Monday left a few minutes late and we got into Dallas a few minutes early but had to wait because it was another plane at the gate. It was actually lucky to get home because of the hurricane in Houston. Both airport in Houston or shut down. Flight to LFT left 30 minutes late & arrived on time but again we had to wait for 30 minutes while another plane moved off of the gate. I got a $17 shuttle from the airport to my hotel in Cabo San Lucas. When you exit the baggage area there is a little kiosk with three or four guys hanging around there. They all speak English you have to buy the ticket from them and one of them Will walk you to the van where are you all going to Cabo San Lucas with a van full of 10 people. Actually extremely convenient if you have luggage. He dropped me off right in front of my hotel. On the way back I took the Ruta Del Desierto bus which cost 80 pesos or about five dollars. The driver said he would accept a $5 USD bill for people coming from the airport into Cabo San Lucas. The problem is you have to go from the international terminal which is terminal number two to terminal number one in order to get the bus into Cabo San Lucas. Once you are in CSL you can pick up the bus on the main road. You can't miss it, Ruta Del Desierto is spelled out on the sides in the front and back of the bus and it is purple and gold colored. Air conditioned any very convenient. Getting around in CSL is it a done by walking or taking a taxi which will rip you off. You will get the gringo price, you will overpay, and none of them know where anything is! So get ready to have a Google Maps up and ready on your phone.
So back & forth from the airport you have four options:
– 1) private transportation, you set that up yourself.
– 2) a taxi which will run you US $80-US $100.
– 3) the little Combi bus van with nine or 10 other people which will cost you about $17 and will drop you off at your apartment / hotel.
-4) Ruta Del Desierto (purple & gold) bus which will cost 80 pesos or five bucks but then you still have to drag your luggage from the bus stop to your hotel or apartment. Leaving the airport you have to get to terminal 1 from the international terminal, which is terminal 2 to catch the bus into CSL and then on the way back to the airport you have to tell the bus driver terminal 2 and he will drop you off at terminal 2. For some reason they do not pick up at terminal 2!
A small word of warning, American Airlines does not give entry visa forms or custom forms on the airplane. After you get through customs there is a table right before you put your baggage onto the x-ray conveyor belt and you have to fill out one of those forms to get through. The stamp has red and green on it. They will not stamp your passport. You need to hold onto this little card that they stamp with the red and green stamp because that is your exit visa. You need to give this to the guy at the gate when you're boarding you're plane to leave the country. Do not throw this away as you need it to leave the country.
LODGING: I stayed at an Airbnb rental called hotel Roca Vista. The hotel was nice enough with a mini fridge, TV, sporadic hot water and a very cold AC. There was a gate with the four number code to get in and then of course your room key let you in the room so I felt very safe. It was $45 a night plus a $23 cleaning fee and an $18 maintenance fee. Esperanza and her sister Fabi ran the place. Faby washed and dried a couple of loads of clothes for me for three or four dollars each time. Very very convenient. Very nice sisters. They even put up some frozen fish for me for a couple of days until it was time for me to leave. It was fairly well situated a couple of blocks off the main road, two or three blocks from the marina, two blocks from Cabo Wabo, EL squid Roe, and the giggling Marlin.
FOOD: There were several famous restaurants within walking distance of the Roca Vista. Cabo Wabo, El Squid Roe, the Gigglin Marlin, and 10,000 little taco hut's that were all equally good. Tacos Gus was right around the corner from the Roca Vista so I ate there 2-3 times.
FISHING: I fished with blue Marlin charter fishing.
[URL]http://thebluemarlinsportfishing.com/[/URL]$450/ day for the boat which is not bad in my opinion. I fished for two days, Friday and Saturday. On Friday we were trolling the beach and had seven Fish in the box by 7:30 AM. Mahi-mahi and tuna. I told the captain I was paying him to not catch these fish because I can catch these here in the Gulf of Mexico. So we headed to deep water to troll for Marlon. Hooked and landed one striped marlin on Friday, had three bites on Saturday but didn't land either of those three. All in all a very disappointing fishing trip in my opinion. Other charges were $20 for live bait, I had to bring my own beer / water and my own food on the boat for lunch. Which is no big deal. I finally decided to try and bring some fish home so I had my he my he into the clean vacuum packing frozen for a nominal fee of course, and transported back in a collapsible insulated carry-on bag! I received no trouble either leaving Mexico are coming into the US with frozen fish. I only had 15 pounds total but was surprised that nobody even looked at it or made me open up the bag. I did declare it on my declaration form but still no questions.
CHICAS: I posted this earlier just as a word of warning. Mileroticos is a scam. Every girl I contact wanted me to send her money upfront or join a website. I told them point-blank I am in CSL I can be at your place in 30 minutes and I will pay you your fee when I see you and not one of them accepted. A total scam. I was talking to a friend when I got home about fishing in Colima Mexico next year so I started looking at Mileroticos again but this time in Colima and lo and behold, the pictures and the names and the phone numbers were the exact same ones as were in that days ads for Cabo San Lucas. Total scam do not use Mileroticos in Mexico.
Walking down the street at least every other block a girl would come out and offer a massage, very nice massage, beautiful massage, very cheap etc. Etc. I finally took one up on her offer and went upstairs and she gave a great rub and tug for 40 bucks. 20 bucks for the massage 20 bucks for the tug. It was actually very nice well worth the $40 USD. I started talking to her and she asked what I was doing where I was staying when I was leaving etc. Etc. , she told me that she was going dancing with her coworker but she would be finished by midnight and asked if she could come over to my hotel. Of course I said yes. She wasn't much to look at did not have a fantastic body but had a fantastic attitude and give a great massage. We exchanged phone numbers and just like she said she would she texted me right at midnight and came over to my hotel and it was on, shower massage and BBBJ and BB all the way. I gave her US $72 as she was leaving the next morning, I saw her once more in the massage parlor ($40) and she came over the last afternoon I was there and spent the night. I gave her 1600 pesos which is about $96 for her three pop effort!
Overall, I'm glad I went but probably the most boring trip I have taken in the last seven years! I do not know if I will ever be back to Cabo San Lucas. El Mechanico.
CSL 8/24-28/17 Currency exchange
Forgot to add the Tipo de Cambio to my report.
The USD rules but if you use USDs you will get the gringo rate. From my Schwab card at the ATM I was getting 17.48 MxP to $1. At a supermarket. I got 16.5 MxP to $1. So once again the ATMs rule.

Ruta Del Desierto will take $5 USD
[QUOTE=Funkystuff;2090763]
(except for the public bus).
FS.[/QUOTE]I did not use the bus in town but took the Ruta Del Desierto bus back to the airport and.
I asked the busdriver this exact question on the way back to the airport "Will you take USD for payment?" & he said yes. I needed to get rid of some peso coins so I paid 80 or 85 pesos for the ride to the airport.

Great putas for less in Cabo.
I've lived in Cabo for almost two years and have seen the market evolve. Isn't competition a great thing. Best place to find putas: Go online and search for escorts in LOS cabos then click on the website that starts with miler for pictures and phone numbers. They like to communicate via Whatsapp. For 1,500 pesos Hot Cabos (the best) and other operators will deliver to your hotel or home really nice chicas for an hour of unlimited relations as they like to call it here. Cabo Fantasy has nice chicas too for 1.700 and 1,800 but most are one and done. A year ago they all were one and done but now the same price can get you unlimited sex. You can still find some chicas on the street for a thousand but not like what you get on the internet. There are a few that hang out at Rips and Jungle bar-in fact the twin of the girl bartender at Rips can be rented by the hour. Both bars are around the block from the Cabo Wabo nightclub entrance. Never pay a deposit as you won't see a puta or your money again.
