Southbound after a few winks

Bajaboy - 12-19-2009 at 10:05 PM

Truck is packed to the brim. Alarm is set for 4:00 am so we should be crossing San Ysidro about 45 minutes later. After getting our FMTs, we should be on the road from TJ by 5:15 based on past experience. After breakfast at La Mision in San Quintin, gas in El Rosario and Vizcaino, we should arrive at our place in Bahia Asuncion some time between 6 and 7....just in time to unpack and get a few bacon-wrapped hot dogs at Chemo's... can't wait. Looking forward to two weeks of pure family time!

Happy Holidays Amigos!

I'm doing the Happy Dance at seeing my family again. This visit feels like an early gift from Santa!

Zoe...I feel your joy! How sweet. We'll be seeing you in early January.

We arrived at our place about 7:30. Traffic was heavy and we did our good Samaritan duties along the way. As we were approaching the salt flats, we saw a group of cars with their flashers blinking. We slow to see if they need help and sure enough there was a car stuck in the muck. I clear my eyes a bit as it was pitch black to realize one of the guys was our neighbor Arturo. I knew I had a tow strap somewhere....hmmm...I take out Gabriel's car seat and soon find it. A few minutes later, the car was freed and we were on our way.

And yes Shari, we did stop by Chemo's after settling in to get a few hamburgers to go.

Nice to be back in BA.

Glad you made it safe and sound. Have a great time.

And yes, those tow straps are very handy around there,
