"I seldom go to Baja anymore. Too many problems there for an old duffer like me."


Probably the simplest way to visit would be to take the Mexicoach to the Rosarito Beach Hotel. That way you do not have to make the white-knuckle trip driving through the construction sites which will apparently keep everything snarled up until April.

It is the off-season now and the weather can be a tad chilly but comfortable. You can score some real lodging or rental deals anywhere around here.

Rosarito is probably The best-kept secret in Mexico as far as the general security issue is concerned.  You can have an enjoyable stay in a really nice resort area in a cost-effective way.

Of course, if one goes out of his or her way to find the drug scene or a sleazy bar, one will find what he seeks and experience the usual negative results.
