From 2019 through 2022 my husband and I owned 2 flex week timeshares in Cabo, using them once in the spring, once in October. A few years we combined them into 2 long weeks, although we both preferred to stay the first week in boutique or independently owned hotels, or try a different resort. It all worked out well for us. Was it luck? or good planning? I don't know. The one troubled year and stay was when my daughter's dog mauled both my legs the afternoon before our departure. We used to drop off our dogs at her house, and suddenly, one afternoon, after we'd spent a couple of pleasant hours visiting when we took our dogs, her dog attacked me from the rear, knocking me down. It was nearly impossible to tear him from me, until my daughter beat him with a metal chair. After a few hours in the ER with my husband insisting we cancel the trip and me refusing to, I called the airline, explained my predicament and was guaranteed they'd accommodate my need for a different seat and a wheel chair. I did the same with the resort. To complicate matters, American Airlines sent my luggage, from the LAX direct flight, to Narita airport and I didn't get it back until 2 weeks after returning home. Positive: I always carried a large purse with meds, personal items, cosmetics and a change of underwear - a habit formed after 40 years as a road warrior. There was enough room to change my seat to a front seat so I didn't have to bend that leg (always travelled first class), and the resort had a wheel chair at my disposal. I had called the car rental and they gave us a van so I could sit in the middle seat instead of front. Most of the first week was spent in the suite and there was no pool time, but we still enjoyed our vacation and got to eat at every restaurant at that resort to avoid the in/out of the van - besides I couldn't walk anyway. At the resort giftshop I bought 2 long pool style dresses to help cover my bandaged legs, and my husband bought extra medical supplies at the local Walmart. I was able to sit by the pool but had to keep legs in the shade. The resort MD checked on me twice. Not a bad vacation in spite of the problem. Sadly I sold the timeshares as my husband can't travel now
