then I start takeing vacations there, by flying in !!!
And I move rv if we want to , in otherwards rv is a way of moveing aroundf looking for longer term residence ????



So BCS is a good idea - we have a house on the East Cape and love it - but flying into and out of the area is limited. You have Cabo's airport and La Paz. So depending on where you are coming from Cabo is easy for tourist flights and La Paz is easy for domestic flights. If you park at Todos Santos you then have to spend time and money getting to an airport.

Maybe park in La Paz - Maranatha RV park can either store or hook you up with storage and they are pretty close to the airport. Easy from there to all BCS locations. Flights from TJ to La Paz on Volaris are a bargain.

GREAT IDEA !!!!!! VERY APRECIATED...KEEP IT COMEING

There are vehicle storage places around the Cabo airport but for a big rig I'd imagine it's pretty expensive.

You have other issues with one being you are not supposed to leave anything in country when you leave on a tourist FMM but that opens more cans o' worms that can be dealt with later.

I think the storage of a motor home down here is a great idea. Best plan would be to keep it near the Los Cabos airport or near the La Paz airport so you can fly in and get it. Head off to the supermarket, stock up and go find your favorite beach. We did that for several years until we built our house.

Depending on the swell you can go to the west side or SE. There are still lots of places where you can park your rig near the surf. You may like that lifestyle so much you don't need to build, especially if you want to stay in the northland much. And it will cost way less than buying a house.

On the other hand, if you want to put down roots, nothing wrong with that. We ended up close enough to San Jose del to go into town when needed for supplies, but far enough out to see a million stars in the sky. Lots of advantages to that. Also, we got involved in a local charity group for several years and met many wonderful people who remain friends. Great if your sweetheart is social like you said.

After living down there for 11 years full time, we are now doing a 50/50 thing with our stateside house. When north we miss the people down south and when south miss the family and friends north. All good.
