Welcome fcasey74!
I think you are going to have to be a little more specific than that though. What kind of vacation is your family interested in doing? There are so
many different options ranging from the very inexpensive do it yourself road trip to the expensive golf resort on the ocean.

An all-inclusive resort with rental car would probably be a good idea for you. Check online for package deals, or go to a travel agent.

vacation ideas
I would like to have a medium range budget and definitely do not want to fly. Some things I would like to experience are deep sea fishing and go on
an adventure tour.

Well, at least tell us what month you want to do this? What other vacations have you taken that qualify as medium budget and an adventure?

Hi,
I just returned fom a wonderful trip - San Quintin, San Ignacio, Loreto and all parts in between. Amazing trip - Baja Norte was in bloom as far as
the eye could see - indescribable! San Ignacio gray whales were also something to experience for your life list - they come right to your boat and
play. Loreto was perfect although a little windy - fishing at Puerto Escondido was great fun tho I am still on the hunt for my first BIG Yellowtail-
were were into them bigtime with with my favorite guide Francisco at Bajabigfish but no biters... San Quintin was embarrassing, we caught so many
fish I had to stop - Pedros Pangas out at the Old Mill! we brought home 40 lbs of fillets. The road was great, no problems - GO GO GO! I will post a
more detailed trip accopunt and pics soon. Dave

Time of year is definitely a factor when wanting to fish as it definitely affects the available species targeted and when they are in which area.
If you want an adventure tour you might consider these folks. www.wideopenbaja.com

Palmas de Cortez in Los Barilles. Probably the most stable area to fish at that time of year, they have a spa for the wife, meals are included and
quad rentals are available all over town.

thanks for all the suggestions, its really helping me out. South baja looks extremely tempting adn luxurioius to go. However I think northern baja
looks closer to my budget. Ive been looking online and have several destinations in mind. I will let you guys know about them later. Have a good
St. Pattys Day!!!!!

Hi Fcasey74, I made a special web page to help Baja explorers/ travelers decide what they may wish to see in person... Most of the sites require a
dirt road vehicle, but not all: http://community-2.webtv.net/vivabaja/tours

Hey all. So I've decided on San Felipe. Im still on the fence on where to lodge and on what activities are present there. I have come across El
Dorado Ranch and seems really inticing. Anyone heard of it??
