I put together a pretty comprehensive trip report. It goes into the whole
process of planning, insurance, etc. I even posted a complete list of fees
(fuel was only $2.51/gal) and all costs I encountered. I'm still working on
captions for the photos on the trip home, but the basic info is all there.
I sweated over lots of details, specifically insurance. In the end the trip
was really easy, totally uneventful. Going forward it's gonna be SO much
easier -- especially now that BBP is offering Mexican insurance for
experimentals. They didn't offer that until literally the afternoon before
I left (bastards). I had to dig for insurance elsewhere.
Hopefully this trip log will help other people by making the planning
process easier.
I have every intention of flying back down to several spots in Mexico in
2005.

Dan,
Thank you for your very thorough report and advice. I (experimental) and several other "store bought" airplane drivers are heading into Baja in March and your summary will be very helpful.
Thanks again.

Really cool. Got to show the wife this one.
Anyone know if there is a "relatively non-ripoff/overdone" vacation spot down there co-located at or very near an airport & beach. Couple of decent restaruants & maybe even some golf or fishing?
thx,
lucky

Once place that comes to mind on the mainland is Punta Penasco (aka Rocky
Point or Puerto Penasco). Airport of entry, paved, avgas, condos/hotels &
restaurants by the water, fishing, etc. I haven't been there, but it's one
of the next places I plan on exploring one of these days. It's on the
northwest end of the Sea of Cortez, so it's really close (at least to
SoCal) -- the downside being that it's not as warm this time of year as
places further south.
