I hope it is understood that my ONLY intention on posting the correct spelling of PLACE NAMES is for education... and respect for the Mexican people.
I am a terrible English speller (I think), so I wouldn't dream of criticizing anyone's English or dyslexia... But, the places we love in Baja (like
Puertecitos, Alfonsina's, Guerrero Negro, Los Barriles, etc.) should be something we learn to spell correctly. Also, nobody here is perfect... don't
swet the small stuff and just have fun!

haha! Sorry David. I could not resist that one. Figured I'd better get my licks in now before you discover how bad I am at spelling.

A quick recap about spell checkers...
...we've touched on the subject several times here, and I use the 'iespell' checker that's FREE from:
http://www.iespell.com/
You can use it on any response you may be entering on any web page...you just 'right click' in the text area, select 'Check spelling' in your 'right
click' menu, and you are up and running! It's so easy, and you can add the Mexican place names, etc., that you use from time-to-time...try it you'll
like it!
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"

I guess I am more of a lurker---I have asked a few questions, and I recently posted a travel report.
Sometimes, at least for me, it can seem a little intimidating and like being an intruder when there are a number of people who "chat" and "spar" on a
regular basis.
Then again, I have had nice responses to questions, and nice comments about my trip report---so------
Love Baja

Registered here 2 1/2 years ago and before this one, I had 13 posts, so it's unlikely I'll acheive "Super Nomad" status anytime soon. Maybe Doug will
grant me a "Super Lurker" tag. Also lurked at Amigos de Baja.
I've made several trips into Baja California as far as Loreto, but haven't made any trips in the last 4 years since I burn up my vacation time
visiting my son. Just spent 2 weeks with him in Germany last Sept. Hopefully now that I purchased a 2000 Wrangler from a friend, I'll start making
more trips into Baja. Looking forward into exploring the Gonzaga and BOLA areas with the Jeep.
