Well, maybe the burro posse seems like a stretch, but I’m about to share getaway ideas where that, and a whole lotta other cool things, can actually happen.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”76335″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Right about now a serious case of wanderlust is going around, and it’s catchy. Are you down with deep-sixing your house slippers and kindling a fresh love affair with some sexy strappy sandals or rugged chukka boots? Ready for those kicks to walk you into an inspiring getaway? Does it relax you to plan dream trips, whether or not you even end up going?
I’ve got destination ideas for you, some that I’ve experienced, and others that I can’t wait to.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][vc_single_image media=”76337″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]ACRE, San Jose Del Cabo
How about a bungalow in the sky? Naturally occurring groves of lanky palm trees are uncommon to Baja, a fact which makes Acre, San Jose Del Cabo’s treehouse hotel, pleasantly unexpected. Acre is a socially conscious community that was built around a vision for an alternative vacation destination. I was three stories closer to the clouds when I sank into my comfy king bed, then awoke to soft breezy light dancing across thatched walls. Here the sun rises over a lovely breakfast and morning yoga class.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image media=”76339″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image media=”76340″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Acre has an earthy yet luxurious feel with crisp sheets, mosquito netting, and boutique style details. Hot? Of course you are. Dissolve tension in the courtyard pool or unleash your incandescent self in your personal outdoor shower. You’ll be glowing as you rub auras with the peacocks and roosters, and remember the burro? Him too. It’s easy to relax and enjoy the onsite restaurants and award winning cocktails, here in the foothills of the Sierra De Lagunas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image media=”76342″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image media=”76343″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”100″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]There’s easy accessibility to the San Jose Del Cabo Airport, with transfers available. You may even leave with a new best friend!. Say what? Must love dogs, or glamping, or just destinations that make a difference. I love to support businesses that make the world better, and one of the things I loved the most about Acre was the sanctuary for dogs. It’s an equal opportunity for happiness when once-stray dogs are united with welcoming families. What else is super cool? The way that Acre helps distribute food to 400 families each week! That’s literally changing the world one bite at a time.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][vc_separator][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][vc_single_image media=”76344″ caption=”yes” media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Nobu Hotel, Los Cabos

Let a little air out of your tires and take a drive out to the tiny village of La Fortuna. Roll through the dunes with sideways hair and sunnies on. Pull up at a sushi restaurant on the beach and unbuckle yourself because things are about to get unreal. Eat the sushi, wave watch, and feel seriously alive.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][vc_separator][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][vc_single_image media=”76353″ media_width_percent=”80″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Choriarte, San Jose Del Cabo
