Loreto for New Years :-)
Another circumstance to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving...
I checked on Craigslist (locally) and found a gent selling a RT ticket anywhere Alaska flies for $475 ! Met him at the airport this morning before
the family festivities, transferred the tix, and booked for Loreto 12/28 to 1/2.
How lucky, especially since holiday tix were nearly unobtainium.... (that rare and expensive element) for me.
I imagine Loreto is booked up for the time I'm there... I'll poke around and see... Might just end up camping out on my little lot....!? Whatever it
takes for a little warmth and sweet salt air.
If you know of space availible in town, please let me know.
I'll do a few emails and skype calls tommorrow.... (Inn keepers need a little time off too ! ! )
Again.... I'm both - thankful AND happy !

is it standby?? did you have to pay for the taxes seperatly??
i know that each employ gets a number of standby rp tickets i was gifted 2 2 yrs ago and it did save me money but had to pay the taxes and permits
seperatly about $110 and it was only flying into cabos at that time
ps if they get cought selling the tickets or even bartering they get fired at least it was printed right on the rules of the tickets i got but heck if
it works for you go for it no one gona fire you lol

different...
Hi Jerry,
This was a ticket awarded to a Gold MVP for his taking a "bump" (he volunteered for a later flight due to overbooking ).
Met him at the airport, paid him the $475, he paid $50 to transfer it to me, and I then used it to book... Reserved seat, etc. (not standby).
Right place at the right time, I guess! Now to be so lucky to find a place to stay in Loreto during a very busy season...
Best,
djh

Thanks Jerry,
I am looking forward to New Years in Loreto!
We'll get our project started on our lot one day soon, and be spending a whole lot more time there in the years ahead.
Let me know if you need me to bring you a cooler full of snow from Idaho!!

Sorry... about the snow... (I won't mention how COLD it is gettint just now as I don't want to Jinx you again...)
We will meet up next time...
PS... I have many good memories of Eugene - friends there, the many E-Law conferences I attended (I am NOT an atty...) the High Street Pub... 
We are lucky to live in the beautiful Northwest, AND to have a little holdout in Baja, eh?
An early congrats to Judy on her approaching retirement!! That should help with finding a better balance between time in OR., and time in Baja !
