Australians traveling to Baja
Hi Everybody, as you can see from the subject we are Aussies thinking about traveling in Baja Nov,Dec this year and Jan(2011). We have two children
aged 5 and 7. Everybody in the land down under thinks we are mad. Are we? I read how beautiful Baja is, and that the culture, landscape, food and surf
is stunning. Our plan is to purchase a rv or suv and camper trailer in the US and head down.
Love to hear your thoughts on traveling with kids (is it safe?)?
What is the best vehicle set up for Baja (rv or suv)?
Really appreciate any feedback
Thank you
Div

No you are not crazy mate. Stop by my house in San Diego and I will fill you in. I am headed down Thursday and will return on the 14th. So anytime
after that we can toss back a few VB's and I'll share with you about my last 20 years traveling down there.
G'day

One problem for ya.
There is none of the nauseating, disgusting tasting Vegemite in Baja. In fact, I think there might be a law in all of Baja that bans that repulsive
“food.”
Just kidding (not about the taste), so bring your own and have great and safe time. Just let common sense guide you and you will be fine.

Welcome to the forum. you will learn many interesting things here.
You will also learn that is very safe to travel the Baja. The news give many bad reports. I have lived here for 30 years and go back and forth to the
US all the time.
We are only 4 to 5 hours from San Diego. If your kids like to fish you can get some poles and surf fish along the way and they will have a great time.
It is much to learn for them and a great experience for them and you, and your wife.
I have never been very far South only on this forum so many who have will fill you in on the places to go and things to see.
But please be assured it is safe to travel. I would never say that to anyone if I ever though other wise.
Good luck do your homework and stop and see us on your great adventure.

Don't listen to your friends. And since they're such haters, don't give up all the sweet secret spots you're sure to find.

And if you get the chance try carnitas.....tastes like kangaroo. Also, having recently spent 2 weeks driving up and down the east coast of Australia,
I would recommend getting used to driving on the wrong side of the road from the wrong side of the car. You'll have a blast, no worries here mate,
come visit us if you make it as far as the East Cape.....dt

Div,
I plan on taking my newlywed Esposa from N. Colombia this summer for her first time. I feel it is definitely safe, and the weather should be
comfortable. I think you will have a great time. Be sure to purchase yourself all of the guidebooks you can to prepare.
-Ken

I spent two weeks down there with my two little boys (age 1 and 5) in November and would do it again in a heartbeat..........if I had more vacation
time. Currently banking time to go back again. Go and have an awesome trip.

Don't get spooked if you travel down south here. We are right on the Tropic of Cancer. In the morning, the water goes down the sink drain counter
clockwise, in the PM, the other way round. On the triurinal equinox it stands still and won't go down at all.
