The price differential is very favorable (minus, of course, the cost of auto insurance). We will see what Mike wants to do. Personally, I could handle Huevos Rancheros every morning for breakfast!

I have been splitting my travels with the Jeep and also public transportation. This will change next year after I get some bills paid down. But for now, this was the past 12 months in Baja, Mexico for Mrs. Cooke and I.

In April [2011] ---- I insured for 7 days
In November ---- I insured for 3 days - during the time we were on-pavement.
In December ---- we took public transportation.
In January ---- we rode the bus around Tijuana.

Some would say that Tijuana is a deadly shooting gallery, but I tend to like the town.

I have taken the Bus with my Wife, Taxis and came to the conclusion that the price of travel there with public transportation is actually more expensive than in my Jeep. However, with laws making my window tint ILLEGAL as well as +3 hour wait times at the San Ysidro POE, I find the convenience a much better tradeoff.

At home with Nomad CG


Bus travel would be too inconvenient to this location - Bahia de los Angeles


Driving to Tijuana would be INSANE. Taking the bus is the best way to go by far!



My next trip will hopefully take us into the Baja Sierras where we can visit AstroBaja and do some fun four wheeling in the Jeep!

For LESS than the 10 days coverage amount, you could insure that Jeep for a whole year... Check it out.

For some reason, it was more expensive last year when I was in the market for an annual policy. For approximately $200 I can purchase a new annual policy.
