Why did you take a trip “hatulorette” before birth

I have thought about my friends a lot over the past 22 weeks. As far as sleeping methods, nursing tables, and the need for a warm bottle, have occupied my mind since I became pregnant, as well as my friendships.

Most of the main landmarks carry the ability to get rid of social life – university graduation, professional changes, and marriage. For me, the pregnancy proved that it does not differ: the friends I knew for decades, rarely, while the latest knowledge rose, which allowed the formation of closer links. I wondered how these friendships will be mixed again when the child arrives.

I have caused these ideas to be raised because I care about my friendships a lot. These bonds, many of which have long been falsified in the college housing and diving bars called badly, made me through some of the most difficult moments of my great life. As far as I feel sad by friends who have fallen in recent months, if I am honest, I am concerned about keeping up with my end to the deal as well.

My life is about to change, yes, and the list of its priorities will soon be consumed by one small person. But this does not mean that things cannot be different; I can at least try.

This situation is what prompted me to Cabo San Lucas, and Mexico backed in the second trimester of pregnancy to meet with my sister and two of my close friends on something called “Hachilorit”. Let me explain.

Hachilorite idea

I learned for the first time about Hachilorit when I edited a story about the trend last summer. HatcheRorette is essentially a celebration of the pregnancy of the person who is often done in the form of a collective journey; It is less mysterious than single but not as harsh like a child shower.

At the time of the story, my husband and I even started to try to get pregnant. So, while I was happy how it appeared, I could not be attached.

After that, several months later, when she became pregnant and participated online news, I received a word from Four Seasons that they were interested in hosting Hachilorite. This type of e -mail that I read over and over again, hoping that it was not good to be correct.

The journey met quickly. From the list of potential destinations, I chose Cabo because it is a quick trip from Los Angeles, where I live, and I was at the top of my list since it moved to the West Coast. The best of that, a new property was opened there last year, Four Seasons Resort and Residenties CABO SAN LUCAS at Cabo Del Sol. The trip will be for three nights, and the flight line will include a spa day, sunset, and cooking category.

In the weeks that preceded HatcheLorette, the group chat was a wave of excitement and logistical planning. (There were a lot of expressive and exclamation points.) My husband encouraged me to allocate children’s books and plan to register for only a few days. Judging that we may need to name our “four seasons.” However, you are outside.

My experience in Hachilorite

In the morning of my journey, I was at 5 am in reality, if I could sleep comfortably wearing my airport clothes and grabbing my passport, it is possible that it is.

About 45 minutes’ drive from Los Kabous International Airport, we received at Kabo del Sol with hibiscus and the comprehensive views of the Cortez Sea, from the outdoor lobby. Then we were told that we will stay in Ocean-VIEW Villa four bedrooms With completion of a private swimming pool, a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor fire hole and private bedrooms (and bathrooms) for each guest. “Four Seasons Garcia Joyanz” is really Do Do you have a beautiful ring, no? Better, the employees have completely decorated the villa with balloons and banners, including one reading, “Nenia”. (“She is a girl” in Spanish.)

It should be noted that I tried to keep the flight line as a surprise as possible. (Yes, I love surprises. A lawsuit for me.) This raises the excitement a little.

The first day of Hachilorite was all about ease. We emptied the room service, ordered us to have lunch, and took a special chapter for yoga to get rid of any travel pain. Dinner that night was in PallowThe average restaurant at the property, where we ate an arishini saffron, the various pasta, and a massive tyramisu.

We spent hours hunting each other in our lives – work, relationships, and family dynamics. We left everything, and we needed it; Like Susan the lazy from emotions revolves around the table, if you will. It was especially nice to see everyone very awake and carefully shared with those who were participating at any specific moment. I cannot say I was surprised, given how good and openness know that these people are already, but that was another reminder.

The next morning, we ate breakfast in the villa (Bricche-caroissant is a must) Thira Mar Spa For our relevant treatments. I had a prenatal -to -gay Madry Terry, which was just a pleasant, while others had the signature of Olas Del Mar Massage, which combines Swedish relaxation techniques and California. We reassembled our ranks in the quiet outdoor sitting area in the spa after our treatments, and separated with a snack on the fruit and chocolate.

For lunch, we did Mexico cooking flavors From our villa. We learned Chef De Cuisine Hans Flores how to make a different ceviches (including a safe option for shrimp), selmas, tortilla, and grilled fish stole the width.

After some free time to hang next to the swimming pool and listen to the “Mayhem” entirety of Sidi Gaga, we prepared for activity outside the king Kabo Al -Swad. Everyone is a ray while we are withdrawn to the marina.

The journey took us around the famous tourist attractions, such as the Lover’s Beach, and rock configurations off the coast, such as the bow. We gave the AUX wire and we made a group of Charli XCX, the bad rabbit, and more “chaos”. Although it was the end of the whale watch season, we were lucky enough to see many swimming.

Although we have taco sandwiches on the boat, I am pregnant, and therefore always hungry, so when we went back to Cabo del Sol, we thought we would try the Japanese fare in the profile on a bar on the roof Sura.

We ate Gyozas and Katsubirria Sando really unbelievable while playing Friendship edition From this, we are not a strange conversation card game. We were asked to think about our first impressions, preferred qualities and privacy. Tears were thrown, and the laughter was in bed by 10 pm.

Our last day began with a “floating breakfast”: oatmeal, pancakes and fruits were carefully arranged in a woven basket that was drifted in the pool in a luxurious (and comic) way. It has been prepared to Instagram and sometimes it is not practical, but, what is hell, was fun. It is difficult to lead breakfast in the pool, but we were able to try by walking to the beach, where we put in Kabanas and had a Virgin Benia Colada like a teenager on vacation with their parents.

Last night, we dealt with a special dinner in Villana consisting of steaks, seafood jam, grilled fish, and more Tiramisu. (The hotel may be or not be aware of the desire for pregnancy. There are no other questions.)

The dinner was followed by the experience of the stars directed at the experts, during which we learned the constellations and we will take a closer look at the moon and visible planets. Before we all swept, we saw an episode of “Abbott Elementary” on a display created in the backyard. I have grown properly – I just woke up in a state of absolute panic Once While I compete with the fact that I will leave heaven the next day.

Final ideas on Hachilorite

I bear witness to many tumultuous travel trends in my line. Sometimes, it is just a tan of a tan who is going as soon as they arrive. Although it is easy for a Muslim to delete Hatchertorettes as just an attractive way to classify girls’ journey, it is the word ton I am grateful to it. (Well, this, and “Sleep Victories”.

See, there is a lot of talking about children once pregnant: Where are you going? At what point in the second trimester of pregnancy? What is the pregnancy pillow that you mobilize? It is one travel trend that has become a new natural, which is beautiful! If you can, you must completely spend this good time with your partner before the child, but your friends are likely to be part of your child raising experience, and the good time due there too.

For me, Hachilorit has already reinforced what I already knew: my friends. My daughter will one day learn.
