Alex and I planned to spend 7 days in Los Cabos over Christmas Break for our 3 months overdue honeymoon. We flew Alaska Airlines and had the opportunity to upgrade to first class during checkin and that little luxury made the trip just a little bit more special. I was able to check one item off my bucket list and the short 2 hour flight made the allowance quite reasonable.
I am spoiling Alex. He loved flying first class. I did not
think that I would notice the extra space or the first on first out privileges
quite so pointedly as I did. They served us a lovely light lunch as unlimited
beverages. Alex noted that the servers checked on us more often than we needed
something, which was a first for him. I
spent the flight listening to the indie music selection on the wifi and journaling
about my expectations of the trip. When the flight was over, I didn’t feel
exhausted of the traveling experience, which I normally do.
The in flight lunch consisted of a grapefruit salad with a
thick piece of buttered bread on the side. The raspberry vinaigrette was a bit
too sweet for my taste.
The candy on the side was eggnog. How festive!
There was a vegetarian restaurant right across from the
hotel called Cynthia Fresh. I thought I would have a hard time getting
vegetarian food on the peninsula but it was more convenient than I could have
imagined.
I ordered a creamy gorgonzola pasta and Alex ordered
gorgonzola and blue cheese fish salad. My meal came with a side salad as well.
Alex ordered a Margarita but I was still coasting off my wine from the plane to
partake. I still owe a Mai Tai to Claire (holla)
