Hi Ron, I really enjoyed reading your story about your move down south! I used to be a California resident but am now in the UK (I was born here). I visited Cabo once 3 years ago & haven't stopped thinking about it ever since! I want to move to Cabo & open a small beauty salon; can you help with any info how I find out how to do it? I would appreciate anything at all! Thank you! Jan Hanigan
