I'm assuming this is $2095 per person, based on double occupancy? Is there a single supplement?

Looks like you timed your arrival in Loreto for the Mission Festival.. All based around the mission's birthday of October 25th...
Lots of folk dancing and activities in the plaza each night!

Congratulations David! Not sure if I just missed it but in reading about the tour it wasn't clear who will provide the 4WD transportation? Are you
supposed to come in your own vehicle or will 4WD vehicles be provided? If so, who will drive? Is there a plan for breakdowns?
Just curious...

David, Stop, you're giving it all away for free! I would love to go but the timing doesn't work for me this time. I hope it is a huge success and that
you will do another that I can make.
