70. Cabo San Lucas – Joe Joins the Pod! Couples Trip to The Cape for $0, Trip Budgeting, Our Breakfast Burrito Journey & Why Cabo Stole Our Hearts

In this episode, Joe joins me on the pod as we share every detail of our July 2025 trip to Cabo San Lucas, including how we stayed at The Cape, A Thompson Hotel, for $0 using points.

We talk through our trip budget, why we prioritize couples trips, and the adventures that made this getaway unforgettable:

  • Hiking Mt. Solmar with the legendary dog trainer Enrique

  • Snorkeling and jumping off a catamaran into crystal-clear waters

  • A romantic dinner at Esperanza’s Cocina del Mar

  • And yes, breakfast burritos every single morning of our trip
