I wish you luck. I agree with a lot of what Iflyfish said --- experience it together, but don't try to convert. Either she will like it, or she may
not.
I never thought I would be traveling in Mexico until I met John. He loved Mexico, so I gave it a try. Our first trip was to the mainland---most of
it by bus and they weren't those new fancy plus buses. He never pushed, just sat back and enjoyed watching me fall in love with Mexico. I do think
it was a little sneaky to make sure we arrived in Oaxaca on Christmas as there is no where more beautiful or romantic than Oaxaca at Christmas time.
It was the same for Baja.
But, I know lots of people, men and women, who tried Baja and will never go back. It is like the "It's just a desert" --- the wonderful desert we
love. No matter what, some people will never enjoy it. IMHO, converting someone is just not possible---either it will happen or it won't.
So, since she has agreed to go, I hope that on her own, she will convert.
Best of Luck to you and as many have said, stick to the Pacific side.
Diane

As an added note to my earlier enrty..... and it looks like you have received alot of very good advice....... we are property managers here in Todos
Santos. July being a slow month, we have some very great places, close to the beach for very reasonable rents that time of year. Comfort will be one
of your keys, using Todos Santos as a base, there is alot to do and see within 1.5 hours of here... Email rhodajacobs@yahoo.com for the info

Heck, if Baja isn't her thing, let her take care of business back in the USA and you can roam around a while.

I'm sure she will love it. If she likes to do the camping thing, do that, if she likes arts, Todos Santo's is the place to be, if she likes resorts
do that. You know her likes/dislikes best so try to schedule things around that. I know that just spending time with my husband makes me happy, it
may not be my "thing" what we are doing, but he does my "thing" and I know it's not up his alley. Spending time together is what it is all about.

Hello again and thank you for all the great tips.
It seems like heat, Ascuncion, Pacific, Todos Santos, and gentle loving care are on everyones mind in this forum and i will use these to guide me on
my quest.
I now realize that I should of made my request a little clearer as many of you wanted more info. in your eagerness to help out.
In short I will be in the company of my wife and 9 year old son driving south through San Diego. We will be in a white beastly Ford 4x4 that my sis
has kindly purchased for me while ive been working down "south". We will have tents, backpacks, surfboards, kayaks, bikes, fishing gear, books,
drawing pads, a map, 3 smiles, 5 weeks (more if it all works out) and a hunger for adventure and discovery. So camping is in, cute accomodation is in,
hiking is a must, desert wildlife is a must, resorts are out, waterfalls are a must, eating a fabulous meal in a restaurant with tablecloths is just
as welcome as cooking bacon on a stick in the middle of a wash in Catavina.
And we have a house in Todos Santos to rest and recoup in.
I would like to thank everyone who replied and hope to cross paths sometime, somewhere.
To BajaGuy...yes Pacificos will most likely be the first purchase south of the border, the second being tacos de pescado.
Diver...will definetely camp but not afraid to scrub up and enjoy a nice B&B either
Jerry and Judi...bounce we will.
Packoderm...great advice thank you, big drives are a pain and will try to avoid that, although sometimes.....Hey nice VW by the way. Is that the one
on the looong grade into Abreojos?
Dave...
aliibike...I like full immersion, its important. And that would be "quien sabe".
mtgoat666...yes, as i mentioned before the heat is a big obstacle and will influence our every move.
fdt...yep laptop is essential for our son to watch dvds on! Thank you for the kind words about our website, my wife designed all of that and I will
pass on the message to her. And yes we have a house in Todos Santos (www.todossantoshouse.com) in partnership with the above and below mentioned "sis".
Soulpatch...we stopped going to the Yucatan after they banned camping in Calakmul and started to "develop" the site. I think thats right about the
time they gave the peninsula that lovely new name too.
Iflyfish....phew! sage advice from an obvious spiritual soul. Thank you and I hear you.
Bedman, short but sweet, gracias!
Alan...hmmm I do this already!!
Shari...thanks for the invite. We indeed will pay you a visit and stay "awhile". many speak very highly of you in these forums and i look forward to
meeting you in that glorious bay.
Shimmer...Todos Santos will be one of our major stops as we own a home there. Thanks for the contact details.
Diane...Very kind words, thank you. Is that a dog??
Monia...very funny sis.
Cypress...if it were only that easy.
bajagypsy...If all else fails there is always Todos to fall back on.
abrazos to all.
