- Vacation Days: Biggest chore: Where will I eat?
- Travel Days: Sunday February 23, 2020, Wednesday March 18, 2020 & Thursday March 19, 2020 (RedEye)
- Switch Resort / Room: Sunday March 8, 2020, Sunday March 15, 2020
The first two weeks are in my Weeks 8-9 Playa Grande Ridge Master Suite fixed Room D-3031. The third week (week 10) is the Internal Exchange for my week 27 1 Bedroom, 2 Bath Playa Grande Master Suite. It is possible I will have to change rooms Sunday March 8, 2020 but unless the Week 10 Owner for Room D-3031 shows up I will get to stay in the same room for all three weeks as I have for the last few years. With an Internal Exchange I am treated like an Owner rather than just a Guest.
Hotel Mar de Cortez, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
I am staying an extra three days so as to not leave on Sunday which was not available for the minimum 17,500 miles award cost.
Breakfast is included with this booking.

Log
- Published Page location: http://cabo.lam1.us/Weeks/2020
- Tuesday, May 19, 2020 @ 10:51:30 PM (Alaska Time) I took my 2020 Cabo Vacation as planned but heard more and more about COVID-19 as the vacation went on.
- By the end of the vacation Cruise Ship passengers were not being allowed off the ships in the Cabo San Lucas port.
- Within 24 hours after I returned to Alaska an International Travel Advisory was issued by the U.S.A. that would have required me to return.
- I have been Sheltering In Place since my return although I am allowing myself to walk to the Post Office and check my mail without violating my version of the restrictions. I cancelled the 10 day Las Vegas trip I had planned starting today. Today the Four Queens website says they are "Now Open" but they were not when I cancelled.
- At the current time I have no plans for any more travel in 2020 and am not certain about the 2021 Cabo trip.
- I already used my 2020 July Cabo week with an Internal Exchange as week 10 in the same unit as my weeks 8 and 9. Although I was hearing about COVID-19 by week 10 it was nonexistent in Cabo as far as I know and no where near as bad as I believe it will be a few more weeks from now,
- On Friday, February 21, 2020 @ 7:07 AM (Alaska Time) - I got a notice I was upgraded to Premium class for one segment.
- For the 4 hours 20 minutes Seattle to Cabo leg I have been assigned seat 6A so I am now 10F, 6A, 10A, 10A for the trip.
- Tuesday, February 18, 2020 @ 7:06:39 PM (Alaska Time) I got a paper statement showing $77.00 Due.
- It looks like they raised the annual Maintenance to $810 for the week 27 unit and I had paid only $740 in August when I did the internal trade. The amounts don't add up but the difference is small so I paid what the account said online.
- I have declined several offers for all inclusive at the $75.00 / day price only available before arriving.
- Sunday, January 12, 2020 @ 5:14:06 PM (Alaska Time) - Yesterday I payed the maintenance fee for The Ridge at Playa Grande D-3031 Master Suite (1 Bedroom, two bathrooms) Sunday Check-In weeks 8 & 9 so I can show up next month.
- Saturday, November 9, 2019 @ 3:17:40 PM (Alaska Time) - Alaska Airlines changed every segment of my Cabo Trip.
- I got notification via the app of a change of my itinerary but refused to confirm the change for more than a week. It was in Vegas or maybe on the way to Vegas that I noticed in the app that they had changed the itinerary. The part that disappointed me the most was that they had shifted me to a morning flight to leave Cabo. In addition they added a couple of hours to the layover in Seattle on the return trip.
- Last Saturday I saw that there was plenty of seats on the flights 205 & 133 for the RedEye one stop return to Fairbanks that was more similar to my original itinerary so I called Alaska Airlines and asked if I could get it.
- There was some mention of availability of mileage seats preventing it but I didn't have to fight hard saying there was not a problem when I booked the flight.
- I was given the requested itinerary and even given a "premium" seat assignment as part of the change.
- Friday, August 16, 2019 @ 12:01:21 PM (Alaska Time) - I got a second email confirmation that tentatively gives me room 115 at the Hotel Mar de Cortez with a mini-fridge as well as the breakfast each day. Room 115 is one of the ground floor rooms by the pool I had requested.
- Wednesday, August 14, 2019 @ 2:44:29 PM (Alaska Time) I exchanged week 27 for week 10
- Tuesday, August 13, 2019 @ 5:14:06 PM (Alaska Time) - I booked the air travel for next year's Cabo trip for 35,000 miles + $99.57 and was able to get seat 10A and 10F and be wait listed for a first class upgrade.
- The front leg is Sunday February 23, 2020 to match the start of my ridge weeks 8 and 9 and the return is Wednesday March 18, 2020
- I will have to trade week 27 for week 10 at Playa Grande and book some extra days at the Mar De Cortez to complete the trip bookings.
- Tuesday, May 1, 2018 @ 4:18:59 PM (Alaska Time) Created this page and linked it to cabo.lam1.us/Weeks
- I haven't done anything for 2020 so if I pay the maintenance fee I can show up for The Ridge at Playa Grande D-3031 Master Suite (1 Bedroom, two bathrooms) Sunday Check-In weeks 8 & 9
