2002.09.16 ~05 Road trip to Mexico Family trip to Mexico (Baja California) over Labor Day weekend. Note for future: if planning a trip for Labor Day weekend to anywhere, make reservations at least a week in advance. More is better. Even then, the hotels in Mexico aren't that great. First hint of a bad night: the beddings reek of the insect repellent in which it's been doused. Just about the only thing in favor of a road trip passing through Tijuana, Rosarito, and Ensenada is cheap food. Dual-currency economy (peso & dollar) is kinda nice too... saves a trip to the currency exchange.
