Mexico?

[Kevy Baby]

When we cruised last year, we stopped in
Puerta Vallarta - eh
Mazatlan - We took a wonderful tour into the mountains into some old and very small villages.
Cabo San Lucas - Of the three cities we visited, this is the one I would go back to. And it is the closest! It is a very laid back town and I could see myself spending several days there.

I also went to Guadalajara many years ago on a business trip. While it is a beautiful old Mexican town, I wouldn't put it high on my list of places to go for relaxing and partying.

Is this some alter Cabo San Lucas, kind of like the anti-Spock, anti-Captain Kirk universe?

The internets are telling me that it's a 20 hour drive from the border to Cabo. Do my searches deceive me? Mazatlan is 16 hours from Phoenix, so not an option for me either. It's a 4 hour drive from here to Rocky Point.

The internets are deceiving you. The fastest guys in the baja 1000 can barely make it to Cabo/La Paz in that short a time. Do you have a Pro Truck or a motorcycle?

Rocky Point is certainly closer. If you felt adventurous and wanted to take the Ferry over, I really like Santa Rosalia. I have never been to Rocky Point, if it's only a 4 hour drive, give it a try. You haven't invested that much time, and you can always drive back. You may also discover what you are looking for nearby.

It would appear that the 20 hour estimate for Cabo is correct. See this site for drive info. Cabo is on the very Southern tip of Baja.

Kevy, does it really show 20 hours? I sure wouldn't want to drive down there in the dark. Lots of cows on the road.

From the last paragraph:

A great spot to stop midway between Cabo San Lucas and Tijuana is San Ignacio. San Ignacio is about a 10 hour drive from Cabo San Lucas and a 10 hour drive from Tijuana. A terrific place to stay is the Ignacio Springs B&B.

While it doesn't explicitly say 20 hours, I think one can easily add the 10 hours from Tijuana to San Ignacio to the 10 hours from San Ignacio to Cabo to come up with 20 hours.

Also, the site talks about the kinds of roads (poor) and gas availability (poor) and other such factors. The read for me was that I personally wouldn't want to make the drive.

I stand corrected. Interesting info. Thanks!
