Roadtrip down Baja California
I am planning on driving down Baja to Cabo and back for couple weeks once the semester ends, and I was wondering if anyone has done this trip before. Im not too worried about the swine flu, but I have heard conflicting reports about how safe it is for Americans down there right now with teh general lawlessness that accompanies the drug war. Some things I have read say that there is no real danger so long as you remain aware of your surroundings and other sources make it sound like I would have a 50/50 chance of coming back unscathed. Also, I will travelling with my girlfriend, which adds another dimension of saftey concerns. I really want to take this trip, and part of me says danger be damned though if it truely is dangerous with a high chance of carjacking or kidnapping it wouldnt be worth the risk. Anyone have any recent experience in Baja or general advice?
