i wish i had enough time to try several beaches!!! I wanna live close to a beach some day. Been mostly thinking of mainland but will checkout baja
too!!!
Looks like playas or Rosarito area would be the easiest for me. I will probably fly into San Diego and take the bus to downtown, take the trolley,
and then Mexicoach. Then I will look for my friends and get my dental work done. After that I will go to the beach (unless my dentist is by Playas).
Hopefully i find some of my friends and I'll treat them to a mini beach vacation.
I don't wanna stay long in el centro or Coahuila area cuz my ex lives around there somewhere and I'm not over him yet. :`( Why break my heart worse?

A perv magnet... too funny!
I'm glad I chimed in about the weather. Your comment on not wanting the beach sand too hot made me mention summer weather is always a few months late
here. August, and September are the sunny warm months and you will have the beach to yourself.
I do envy the nomads in Baja Sur with their toasty climate and clean warm water! (Especially sitting here in Colorado at 9000 feet today in a
snowstorm)

If you want to stay in Playas (the southern end), there is a hotel there called, "El Indio", or something like that. It is at the top of the cliffs,
with the beach right down below ( no view, though). It is pretty cheap, but forget what we paid. We stayed there over New Year's one year (2007)
before my step-sons had visas to cross into the US. There were a few other couples around, but we had the place pretty much to ourselves.
There are usually a lot of taxis around, so getting back and forth to el centro wouldn't be a problem.
I've heard that the hotel was used to house people en route to cross to the US and/or to buy/sell drugs. We saw no evidence of this on our stay!
There are a couple of rooms with kitchens, and again, you're right up from the beach. If your destination is TJ y no mas, I would definitely stay
down in Playas. I lived in the area for about 3 years while we waited for my hubby to get his visa. The beach is great for walking and watching
dolphins, swimming always seems a bit cold, but you can get your feet wet! Saludos, H. |
A kitchen is what I prefer if it's equipped with utensils, pots and pans, etc.
I can be a stoner/dope dealer/meth cook/hooker/coyote to finance my vacation. I'm one tuff scary dudette! Watch out TJ!!! Just kidding! Honestly,
all but the meth lab stuff being there would not really freak me out. I've spent lotsa time in the Coahuila neighborhood. So I've seen and stayed in
places with pretty much everything 'cept for the meth labs. I know quite a lot of ppl involved in these kinda things. I mind my own business, live
and let live, and don't judge the ppl. It's TJ after all.
So you see, I'm not this 'lil naive innocent, sheltered Sunday school teacher. I'm also a street evangelist to the ppl everyone is scared of or
grossed out by. But for the grace of God, there go I ! I love and accept most ppl. God made us all and He loves us all.

Are you kidding? This is Baja California you are asking about! Black widows (small, highly poisonous black spider with a red hour glass mark on the
belly) are everywhere outside in dark places (wood piles, under rock piles, mater meter or valve boxes)... they are muy malo! Rattlesnakes also, if
you are near any open areas... Never put your hand where you cannot look, first! Scorpions are very common too... but more so in the desert... The
Baja variety is not deadly, if you are in good health.

I never saw any scary critters in my TJ apt 'cept for large (not humongous like the ones in Oaxaca and Zihuatanejo) c-ckroaches.. Ick.
