Your purposed route is what I am planning to do Jan 05, only I was thinking about reaching the Yucatan and spending a day or 2 in Guadalajara to visit a friend.

I seem to be having a hard time finding company to do this trip so your offer sounds tempting indeed. I need to find out if I can get the time off in Dec though. It also means I need to prep by FZ1 earlier than expected.

How are the chances of you getting Jan - Feb off?

Peter

I planned on being back to work on Jan 10th but if you twisted my arm I could probably stretch it out to the 17th. I planned on staying mainly in Baja. Do you know how much it costs to catch the ferry to the mainland? If that's what you still had in mind.

You're killin' me. I can't leave til the day after Christmas. I'd really like to explore Baja and if I find a nice place stay there a couple of days. You guys have fun. Maybe we'll have to have a trip report post after all this is done.

Hey, anyone interested in a 15 day run to baja? I just had an abrupt change of holiday plans and decided to get out of San Francisco for little while. Here's the catch - I gotta get back to work by Jan 3rd. I plan to start the ride back north on New Years day. Anybody?

I plan to be in Cabo on the 30th. I don't have to be back to work until Jan. 10th though so I plan on riding around for awhile.
