Lock up your beer and tequila the Baja Gypsy's are coming!!
Mr Baja Gypsy and I will be leaving the fridged north (Canada) on September 7th for beautiful Baja. We should arrive in BOLA late on September 9th
to camp and go diving with the Whale Sharks. We will probably leave BOLA around September 11th and head on down for Shari and Juan's. We hope to
stay there for 4 or 5 days and then head on down to Mulege. We will have to be on the road around September 19 or 20th, as it is back to work and
hopefully not snow on September 24th.
So if you see a couple of pale Canadian's in a white ford focus, stop by and say hello, as we hope to meet some fellow nomad's to have a chat, drink a
Pacifico/Tequila with.
Shari, hope you are practicing your drinking skills!!

We have been warned of your arrival and will have our security fence in place by then. 
Just kidding ! Hope to see you there.
But if I don't drink, can I still hang with you guys ??

We don't care if people drink or not, we can have a cup of tea!!
The best part of Baja for us, is the wonderful people we seem to always meet!
And you might want that security fence, pequito is like a raven, she will steel what ever she can and claim it as her own!!!

You guys are going to do 2500 miles (including 400 of Mex 1) in TWO days???
You're gonna need a holiday when you get home.
Have fun, & remember the law in Mexico says"Dont drink & drive - finish your beer first!"

It's not that bad, we leave Saskatoon at 5:00 pm on September 7 and travel non stop to San Diego, we should be there around midnight on September 8th
(I guess that's actualy September 9th!!) We will get a hotel room and then leave around 5 or 6 in the morning and head straight for BOLA. The
excitment of actually getting to Baja keeps us going!!!! It's way cheaper than flying, so we do this crazy drive so that we can get down to Baja
twice a year!!

OK, the excitement is really starting now, only 18 more sleeps, I'm starting to go threw the camping stuff to see what we absolutely need to take.
The big red truck died on us, so we have to stuff everything in our little ford focus!!! Thank goodness bikini's don't take up alot of room.

Just so that I'm 100% sure that I have the correct information regarding fishing licenses, I can get my fishing license at the TJ border at the
insurance place that is near by, am I correct?
Also, another question, how long of a drive from TJ to BOLA? Can't remember!!

Ford Focus's are REALLY SMALL, aren't they? I'd suggest a Brazilian bikini.
It's about 400 miles to BOLA from the border but it's so difficult to predict how long it will take you to negotiate the stretch from TJ to El Rosario
these days. Much depends on the time and day you are traveling it. I think 10 hours might be a safe guess.
I bought a fishing license many years ago at the border (off at SY BLVD of I-5, turn right at bottom of ramp, go straight at the stop sign and pull
into the complex on the right) but cant answer for now. Others will have to give a more definitive answer.

Yes our Focus is very small, thanx for the advise! I thought it was about 400
miles, but wasn't sure. Better leave very early from San Diego!!!!!

You should be able to easily make BOLA with a 7AM start (barring something weird). I leave at 7AM towing my boat and make it by dinner, but I walk
across the border the night before to get my tourist card. It can save a lot of time.
Fishing licenses are usually available at the (24 hour) Instant Mexico Auto Insurance place, a half block from the Motel 6 on Via de San Ysidro.
I think they only have one-year licenses, which are maybe $30+? I don't remember. Good luck.

Fishing licenses:
SQC Corp
2627 Boston Ave
San Diego, CA 92113
(619) 238-0909
right off the five near the Coronado Bridge. They do not/did not have a surcharge.

We do not know any of the streets in TJ, is it on the route to the toll highway?

The place BajaBruno is talking about is in the USA just before you cross the border into Mexico at the old crossing into TJ. I would be more specific
but I don't quite remember the exact directions, but I believe it is the last "off ramp" before the line-up to enter Mexico.
Hopefully somebody can confirm that.
