I wanna do this survey of old gents and broads! I am 51 with four kids?youngest being a 10-year-old Einstein! The oldest is a system engineer with
Yahoo.com I have owned Night Clubs and Landscaping businesses in California. Been exploring Mexico for about 19 years, but not Baja. I discovery of
Baja three years ago?and we all fell in love with the area. It?s primitive in a sort, undiscovered, and it?s not commercialized much. I will call this
place home in the future.
What control freaks there are here. Don\'t believe that post you just read!

Are you 'positive' you made it to Baja?? Sorry, couldn't help but laugh at
those ideas. So much so, I had Julio bring another pina colada to our beach cabana here at the resort.
p.s. you WERE kidding, right? If not, more power to you..hope you enjoy your beginnings in Baja.

I used to suffer from constibution, too, Bernie, but then I started eating dried prunes.

I'll start--68 years young--had a place in La Salina for over 25 years and just recently sold it (the worst thing I have ever done) so I could be
closer to the VA hospital (joking). Still lovin' and wandering to Baja after over 45 years.
I even write poems and other junk about it.
Woops! Lurkers sure are welcome!!

Yankee, that looks like it's right infront of Bahia Santa Maria! With drive up delivery service like that, does anyone still have a problem with beach
driving in Baja???

Hi, I have been reading the posts for a while to get the flavor of the board. I first went to Ensenada and the Rosarita & Estero beach areas--
camping & hoteling -- in the late fifties as a 16-year-old. Continued to visit, adding Tecate & San Felipe, until the late sixties. Then
spent many years on the east coast; back now in northern CA. A few years ago I asked son Bajaboy to take me for a Mexico journey from SD. We ended up
at the Half-Way House for lunch. I was taken aback by the changes to the coast.
Since then I have visited several times, going to Cabo & the Todos Santos areas, and to Barra de Navidad, Guadalajara, Ajijic, & Lake Chapala
inland. By the way, I add my vote to the others for Hotel Mar de Cortez in Cabo, an affordable and congenial place in walking distance of most
things, with a pool and good food and drinks.
I have enjoyed reading all the good information from the knowledgeable folks on board, and I'm using suggestions to put together my next visit, I
think to La Paz or Loreto. I must say that I was quite relieved to finally hear from the women on the board, because at first when I tuned in, it
seemed Very Male. Now that stuff goes to off topic (which I also read, but only in small doses)and the info and pictures are easier to access.Thank
you to the poets, writers and artists among us for your lovely gifts.
I still haven't quite figured how to get logged on as a member, but I am definitely in the wings and hovering around. Thanks once again for giving
background, history & experience. I am very interested in tracking down information on the very large (3 inches) blue black wasp (I think) that
was sucking nector from the white flowered shrub by our patio in the Cocina Pacifica area last October. I have not been able to find it identified on
the net. (Smaller versions exist, but none of the size I saw.) Does any one know any good insect books for that area (southern Bajac oast)? Or online
collections? Bye, Zoe

I know where the edit button is and could have easily changed my goof---But I decided not to because I felt that Ken Bondy's post added a certain
flair and zest to this thread. Well over 2000 hits makes it appear that it did just that.
Now it is someone else's turn to coin a new word, make fun of themselves and bring a bit more haha to our simple little lives.
It will also make me pay much more attention to the Preview Button.
My smidgen of a claim to fame is that I have had so many really good friends. By Bernie Swaim December 2007

Bernie I hope you realize that my post was in jest and just for fun, albeit somewhat at your expense. Nothing personal, you know I consider you a
good cyberfriend. Plus I have read both of your books several times

Eye, great post. You should copy and paste this to the who you are thread at Baja.net. Check out the photo gallery there. It is the best there is.
If anyone needs a baja fix. The pictures there will at least get the monkey off your back.

OK I confess. I spelled "friend" wrong in my last post and, unlike Bernie, chickened out and corrected it!

Bernie, there's no doubt you did the right thing--look at all those posts. Besides, why should Brews Leach have all the fun?
