Chasing the sun (the sequel)

Man, getting to Thailand is no joke. Wednesday morning I woke up, finalized some packing (almost forgot a towel), went to crossfit (don’t judge me), and then headed to the airport with my wonderful father. After a quick stop for food and tears with my momma, we arrived at the airport a little before 1….

Cabo San Lucas

After 4 nights of camping on a deserted beach and in a beautiful, spider infested canyon, any type of bed was amazing. A bed in a 4 star hotel? Mecca. Goodbye Cabo, until next time!!
