November 1, 2011 – We are back in San Diego visiting Carol & Hugh from the Discover Baja Travel Club and went to see the 11th Annual Dia De Los Muertos celebrations at the Mission San Luis Rey, Oceanside.  The ”Day of the Dead” (El Día de los Muertos or All Souls’ Day) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and by Latin Americans living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.

October 23, 2011 – We have hit the road again for Baja and this season looks better than ever!  Lots of interest and we are still receiving serious inquiries right up to our departure.  Jason “NitroMan” was good enough to NitroSeal all of our tires on the new Travel Trailer and we will be using all of the the other NitroLube products to ensure our gas goes the farthest, cannot beat NitroLube!
