Cabo San Lucas, Mexico | August 2022
This was my first international trip since the pandemic started, and Lord knows I needed it! I debated whether or not I should even go. At the time, Omicron was still circulating. Monkeypox cases were popping up all over NYC. Officials also detected polio in the wastewater indicating individuals were infected and shedding virus in their stool. Chile, it was A LOT going on summer '22!
But Spirit said, "It's your birthday, and you work HARD! Book that ticket sis. I got you!" And so, to Cabo I went...

Hello Mexico!
Living my best un-American life!
I know I ain't quite 38 but still
The flow so special got a .38 feel
The real is back!

The Garza Blanca front desk staff was adamant that I indulge in the Hydrotherapy Circuit. It features a hot tub jacuzzi, vitality pool, cold plunge pool, steam room, sauna, and a high-pressure shower. They also offer massages. The healing powers of water are transformative as an immersive experience for ultimate relaxation - calming the mind and putting the body in balance and ease. And it was the perfect way to spend my last day at 37.

The Hydrotherapy Circuit was so relaxing, I decided to experience it again for my birthday. Hello 38!
After a relaxing deep tissue massage with CBD oil, I did ziplining with Costa Azul Ziplines. Y’all know I love a great adventure, and it was the adrenaline rush I needed to balance the energies. I also repelled off a mountain - putting my military training to use. I don’t have a fear of heights, but falling to my death in the mountains of Los Cabos **on my birthday** was NOT something I wanted to experience. God said, “Have no fear, my child.” Lord Almighty, you’re absolutely right! Hallelujah! God don’t play about me!
I went on a private ATV ride on the beach and through the mountains at Cactus Tours. The views are amazing! My guide was the absolute BEST, and he actually broke rules and took video of me when he wasn’t supposed to. But hey, anything for the birthday girl! They have “staff paparazzi” that ride through the path and take pics of you that you can buy, but they don’t take video. And it’s really for the safety of the guide and client which makes sense because of the varied terrain. I had so much fun!
I took a glass bottom boat ride in the Pacific Ocean to see The Arch (El Arco) with Envatours. It’s almost like you’re standing on the water as you see the fishes swim underneath the boat. It was the perfect way to end my birthday trip!
