Making Memories

It's the holiday season upon us. Christmas is passing and the New Year's is almost upon us. What to expect for New Years Eve in Mexico? One thing you can definitely count on for your New Year's celebration is warm weather. Doesn't warm, balmy night sound so inviting? It's party time in Mexico!
San Felipe Baja is no different. Small private parties will be on the beach, bars will have live music and celebrations. Or why don't you make your own party?
Vacation rentals are the best, because you can easily have a party. Forget about the big resorts or small hotel rooms, make some memories in your vacation rental. You don't have to just celebrate with your family or partner, meet new friends or invite the whole neighborhood block. Another great thing about a vacation rental is you can be as load as you want. Crank up the music, fly open those windows and party down for the night! If you are near the shore, see if it's safe and of course allowed, light some fireworks and light up the sky. Happy New Year, San Felipe!

Glorious Food

Driving vs. Flying

Usually when you vacation, road trip is not really appealing especially if you have kids. But in this case driving to San Felipe could be way more convenient, that is if you live in a nearby state. Other than crossing the Mexican border, as that could be tedious and long, it then could be a breeze once crossed. Wouldn't it be nice to have your car on vacation instead a rental? Yes, San Felipe is not a big city to need a car, but there are some excursions that you would need a car to participant in. Like riding the sand buggies in the dunes or horseback riding. Or maybe while vacationing in San Felipe you might visit the hot water springs or take a dip at other beaches from afar.

vs.

Flying to San Felipe could be a hassle. First you need to get a ride to the airport from your hometown then once you arrive in Baja Mexico you have to either rent a car in a foreign terrrtory or find a shuttle. Or maybe you reserved a shuttle before leaving. Don't forget you have to tip the driver, and they see you as a rich American or foreigner, so they expect a high tip. Once you arrive in San Felipe how do you plan to get around? There are so many factors to consider if flying into Mexico. So, you might reorganize your thoughts and take a road trip instead to San Felipe.

Little Escapes
