Nothing can go wrong with that, how far before you can land on the mainland?

That is up to the wind and the balloon captain (hoping he has a license).

...''Just this year alone, an increase of 43% is expected in cruise ship arrivals, which equates to a forecast of 279 ships arriving in Ensenada this year, which in turn equals 723 thousand passengers and a significant positive economic impact of around 482 million pesos.''

...I love these forecasts,,,,rather 'optimistic' to think that the average cruiseship visitor will spend $650 in a day's visit,,,let alone the # of ships,,,visitors

I don't know about cruise ship visitors spending $650 on "authentic" Mexican merchandise, but I have seen quite a few of those cruise ship passengers try to consume that much in alcohol
