Thinking ahead

It’s beginning to be time to think about what I want to do on my next vacation now and it’s already pretty clear. I’ll be in Baja for only one rotation this year, so it would be foolish of me to do not hang out for a little while after I’m done. I’ve wanted to rent a car in La Paz for quite some time now and go on a little road trip, so I think that’s what I should plan on doing. Part of what I have wanted to do was go to a town called Todos Santos, a quite little surf town on the Pacific coast and hang out. I’m not quite sure how the Mexican police feel about people just camping out at random, but from the stories I’ve heard it shouldn’t be too hard to get away with. Renting an suv and sleeping in my sleeping bag in the back would probably work out just fine, I’d just have to get food where I could along the way. From Todos Santos I would probably just make a loop down to Cabo and back up to La Paz, Checking out all of the beaches and cool little towns along the way. It would be nice to sneak in some 4 wheeling as well, I’d just have to be real careful not to break the rental car.

My next vacation falls in the middle of March, and goes through the month of April, so it’s going to be storming really hard at home when I return. I’m hoping to get at least one snow camping trip in this year, and two or even three would be ideal. I hope to get one in at the end of this vacation, then probably a couple more in the month of April. This kind of makes me realize that I’m slacking a bit on plans for that! Maybe just a little 4×4 trip up to the snow and hanging out for a couple of days would suffice? I’ll have to think about that one a bit more.

Unfortunately an extra trip to Utah in the middle of this vacation and a little bit too much money spent on presents has eaten up a good my travel and adventure budget for this vacation, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have fun! I just need to get the holidays out of the way.
