Baja Bound

Destination Baja California 

Getting Ready to Leave For Baja California

For weeks we have now planned, packed, and re-packed our suit cases and truck for our trip south. We are heading down to Baja California in Mexico. Our eventual target city is San Jose del Cabo where we have a condo rented.

Cortes Island with the Coastal Mountains.

On the 9th of October we will take a mid-day ferry from Cortes Island to Quadra Island. Here we will shortly meet up with John C Hansen who gave me some lessons in fusing glass.

After that we will take the ferry to Campbell River and meet up with my sister Rose and her husband Alan. We will no doubt have a great dinner together and sample some wine.

On the 10th of October we will head to Victoria and spend time with our family. On the 11th we will cross the border into the USA and stay in Lynnwood just outside Seattle to watch our grandson Ryan play hockey.

On the 13th we will continue or trip south through Washington state, into Oregon, then along the coast of  California, and eventually we will cross the border into Mexico on the 20th of October. Prior to crossing the border, we will meet up with our friends Lynne and Dave and travel together through the border in Tecate.

Our first night in Mexico will be in Ensenada. We will then work our way down to Mulege and eventually all the way down south to San Jose del Cabo.
We hope to see and discover the Baja peninsula to see if this would be a good place in the sun.

Our plan is to be back in Canada sometime in the middle of December.
