bajajoaquin, thanks for clearing things up. I would make this trips about her and the kids. You'll get your surf in. Hit Jardines on the way down, eat
at Jardines or Eucalipto (eucalipto is better). Parcela 12 for breakfast. Camp where your wife is the most comfortable, my wife wanted to be away,
most would like some company. The H2O will be cold, does she need a wetsuit?
There are some great beachcombing spots where I think you are going. Long walks on the beach cathering "objects de art" should be collected every day
with the kids. Bring plenty of stuff for the kids to do. Shower is a must, a pump yard sprayer with hot water will make you a hero. Get her a Lady J,
keeps pee off her feet. Cook and clean a lot, let her enjoy the time with less time doing chores. Hotel on the way home! The goal is to make sure she
wants to return.
On the last day of 2 weeks at Scorpion Bay when they were building the forms for the first bar. We are sitting having a post surf coffee with the
truck packed up. She looks a me and says "I'll never come back here". I ask why not. she looks me dead in the eyes and says "They are paving paradise,
F this place".
She had never camped before meeting me and we camped for 32+ years together. Making sure she had a good time was always foremost. Once you get your
wife there and past her worries, you'll be fine. Take some of her favorite snacks and candy to give her in the middle of your stay, really good
bottles of wine also are also a plus.
PM if you would likr other ideas.

You peeps are ignoring this and saying everything is safe and secure as long as the wife is inebriated and comfortable, eh?
Woke!

Goat.....you missed out the bit about a guy buying an appliance for his wife so she doesn't pee on her feet. How can you suggest they aren't being
considerate of all the issues. 
If I am not mistaken, no women have responded from their perspective as to how to manage a coerced camping trip...
Don't believe everything you think....

I read other reports that these people were known to each other and it was not random.

Doesn't really matter if they knew each other or not if you come upon this incident while it is happening does it.

Motoged, My wife camped with me in Baja for 34 years, we would dry camp for weeks at a time. She had never camped until we met. I made sure that her
trip as comfortable as possible. I don't hear much about your wife traveling to Baja. If she did you might understand how important not peeing on your
feet is.
I was attempting to get bajajoaquin to think of a family trip differently than his trips previous. His wife needs to have great time, that
responsibility is his. As he caters to her and her concerns the more likely she is to return.
I hope bajajoaquin is able to convince his wife to go with him.

If you think she will be nervous, cross San Ysidro and take the road directly to the beaches / toll roads. I like to cross in the morning. I
personally feel "safe" once I am south of Maneadero. And it is not that I feel in danger, just that the congested roads with foreign driving styles
makes me nervous. If you are jittery about crossing back into USA, I suggest heading to an entrance east of Otay, out of the TJ vicinity. Even
better, if you travel internationally a lot, get Global Entry/SENTRI passes to avoid the normal crossing altogether.
