I'm guessing it'll be down somewhere around Guerrero Negro. When you see Marlon Brando and his minions all bearing down on you, try not to panic. <g>

If it's on that day we can't buy booze, we may be pretty grumpy.
Oh yeah.. if the resorts can sell on election day but maybe Malarrimo can't, is there such a "resort" in Guerrero Negro?

Some people seem to feel safer traveling in numbers.. with fellow countrymen... at least for the first trip into a strange land. Others may just like to have a guide to show them places they don't know about... Again, the next trip, they may come alone.

If this is the caravan seen by my wife on the road recently, Nicely done! Not all packed together. Room to pass between.

David: Of course not!!Nobody here is scared. It's the social situation they enjoy. Last nite we had Spaghetti, Caesar salad, Chicken Marsala, and Italian music on the beach with a fab sunset - followed by Dave's fireworks display. What a social group we got!!!

Captkw: You would be very hard pressed to find anyone who knows more about Baja, top to bottom, than me, except maybe John Smith from Baja Winters Caravans. Our groups constantly hear single travellers saying, "Where was that exciting place you went? I missed it."

Don't knock ANYTHING if you haven't tried it!

Hope you are all having a good time. Aren't you glad you don't have a "23 ft c class towing a boat" in your group throwing a damper on all the fun?

I was answering Captkw in general terms as to why SOME people like to travel in groups... wasn't specific about your business.

I wish more would like to go to Baja that way... then I could have a job, as I love showing Baja off... and have led daily group trips in the past...

Sounds like we started going to Baja (or Mexico) about the same age!

Umm, Graham Mackintosh... is a Baja Nomad and has been posting a lot in the thread on Mike and Don-Kay walking to Cabo... his Nomad handle is is first name: 'Graham'.
