Will see you there David and have some of my family and friends also attending. Really informative last year and everyone that can should try to be
there just to enjoy the others who are interested in traveling Mexico and Baja. Met a number of nomads last year and even found some to be business
members of the Expo sharing what they have to offer in Baja and as always Nomads can get other Nomads to make exceptions for them like bookings
etc. No Hurry No Worry Just Fun==========bajafun777
