A Week In Cabo
What could a Guppie (Green Yuppie) write about from Cabo San Lucas??? Well although I’m not on a green stamped vacation, I can at least offer some color commentary and practices that I will bring back to the states perhaps. With my parents footing the bill I must say the vacation is absolutely beautiful. The hotel is new and in pheonomenal shape. Considering energy efficiency, they definitely do their best. Much like their Euro counterparts, the Riu Palace, has a master switch in the hotel room to turn all electronics on or off in their hotel rooms. I noticed that this can be quite annoying for the person who likes to keep an alarm clock. But do we really need alarm clocks, hotels offer wake up calls, and furthermore, who doesn’t have a cell phone these days to tell the time or set an alarm (supposedly 171 million Americans do use one)? The hotel utilizes other standard practices such as allowing guests to choose to reuse towels.
So while I was basking in the sun, of course protected with Aveeno SPF, courtesy of someone special, I figured the most interesting to write about would be “Green Vacationing.” With my parents offering a tropical getaway the only input I had was, yes or no. But, green options do exist, just go and find em!
