It was flight day for Donna and Tim and we were sad to see them go. I almost made them late to the plane because I forgot my wallet and had to go back, then made a wrong turn… Oh well. They made it in the nick of time and it looked like they had their choice of seats as well. We had a great time visiting with them and feel so blessed they came down to share some time with us. Memories we will cherish forever.
We got back to the AirBnB and rested for a bit. I had talked to Koby about a mechanic to help with the brakes, but decided to take a look and see if I could get them done myself. I have changed dozens of brakes in my life, and maybe these were easy. It turns out, they were probably the easiest out of all of my vehicles. Loosen one bolt at the top, remove the lower bolt and swing the caliper upward. I had to go to Home Depot to get some C-Clamps so I could compress the dual pistons, but other than that, remove/replace the clips and slide in the new pads. Bolts tightened and brakes tested. Worked like a charm and took about an hour, not counting the Home Depot run in the rental car.
We had a quiet night, took the pups for a walk, made an easy dinner, washed the remaining clothes, and packed the camper up as much as we could. The next day we got Howie all packed and ready and then headed in to downtown Cabo to return the rental. Return took 45 minutes, about the same time as checkout, but was simple and completed. We stopped at KFC for lunch and checked out a Woolworth department store (don’t have those anymore in the USA, at least not in the west). And we were off again traveling, this time to Todos Santos to check out the Artsy town everyone raves about.
