https://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g152515-s208/Cabo-San-Lucas:Mexico:Weather.And.When.To.Go.html We of AZ Beemers and FJR Forum are tentatively proposing the dates of FRI, January 25 through MON, February 4 for a long days riding blast to Cabo San Lucas in Baja California Sur, MEX. NOTE: Zero precipitation in Dos Cabos for JAN & FEB of 2012; it will rain in Baja Norte ese!

Dates will be confirmed by Thanksgiving, please don't book your vacation time or make reservations until we've locked down the dates with both Forums.

The Game Plan is we'll fly our Ladies in and out of La Paz, while we manly Beemer and FJR men ride long hard days from Phoenix to Land's End and back.

To entice our Senoritas into making this trip we have promised them $$$ a night resort stays, AZB Brian Boles must keep his "La Reina" (The Queen) Melanie happy and FJR Forum Member Papa Chuy Viejo must keep his "La Princesa" (The Princess) Miss Donna satisfied. However, we muy malo Hombres will be staying at Motel Seis!

TRIP ITINERARY:

FRI-1/25/13: PHOENIX TO ENSENADA

SAT-1/26: ENSENADA TO GUERRERO NEGRO

SUN-1/27: GUERRERO NEGRO TO LORETO

MON-1/28: LORETO TO LA PAZ Note: Las Mujeres will be flying into La Paz Aeropuerto and taking a taxi to the resort, we Moto Men will meet them there.

TUE-1/29: EXPLORING LA PAZ

WED-1/30: LA PAZ TO CABO SAN LUCAS

THU-1/31: EXPLORING CABO SAN LUCAS

FRI-2/1/13: CABO SAN LUCAS TO TODOS SANTOS Note: We'll spend the night at the infamous "Hotel California" where the Eagles wrote the song via Peyote!

SAT-2/2: TODOS SANTOS TO LORETO Note: Los Caballeros will be dropping Las Mujeres off at La Paz International for a Noon flight back to Phoenix, AZ.

SUN-2/3: LORETO TO EL ROSARIO

MON-2/4: EL ROSARIO TO PHOENIX, ARIZONA, ESTADOS UNIDOS

https://www.hotelperlabaja.com/en/index.html Hotel La Perla on the Malecon is proposed as our stay for MON & TUE nights 1/28 & 1/29 en La Paz Historico Pueblo.

La Paz Bay is rightly known as "The Aquarium of the Pacific" by well seasoned and world traveling scuba divers!
https://www.pueblobonito-loscabos.com/ Hotel Bonito Los Cabos Blanco is the proposed location for our two nights in Cabo San Lucas: PARTY CENTRAL, ese!

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself,

"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say...

 

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year (Any time of year)

You can find it here

That will be an awesome ride Don. I've done some diving out of LaPaz which is a beautiful old style Mexican town. We went up to Todo Santos as well. I was surprised how small Hotel California was. Fun stuff!

Right you are scubatech, Bahia La Paz is widely regarded as "The Aquarium of the World"! I do love Todos Santos, Papa Chuy could really consider retiring there!

Retire? Huh?

I just mentioned this to "She who must be obeyed" and didn't get rejected initially. :eek: Definite bucket list material.

Sounds Great, juniorfjr; I'll put you on the Baja list (you are now in the fifth bike spot!), I'm going to cap this ride at 10 bikes only for secure group ride control!

CHANGE OF PLANS: We'll fly the Ladies in and out of SJD-San Jose del Cabo International Airport, we'll shift the hotel date schedule accordingly.

Can get flight to/from Phoenix arriving/departing SJD for just $469; this way Enrique can afford to fly both Miss Dawn and SkooterG on this Cabo vacation ese!

Don,

Put me on the list! I've been there once fishing, but I've always wanted to ride there.

Which bike are you taking?

Buenos Dias BackRoadBob, you are on the list! Brian Boles and Papa Chuy are taking our BMW GS's, the 800cc variety; if GSJane goes she will also be on her F800. SkooterG will be riding his FJR and I am assuming Enrique Garza will be on his BMW R1200GS.

 
Interesting...meet you at the Mango Deck for breakfast?!? :)

As if you'd be up for breakfast.

Don, Don, Don.

I thought it'd be San Jose del Cabo (me/you/hookers) in the fall of 2013?

Mi Bueno Compadre Miguel Viejo, you can always count on an Irishman to keep his word (unlike the flaky English!); I said I would lead you to Baja California Sur with a final destination of San Jose del Cabo in Fall of 2013, this is still a go for we Fine Fenians. I will ride to the Baja Peninsula at the drop of a Sombrero (or hookers) ese!

This ride will be fully SOLD OUT by Sunday, I am limiting the group to diez Motocicletas. It is just too much of a security hassle to monitor more than ten bikes on the twisty road of Mexico Ruta Uno!

Naturally I would adjust that ten count for Pretty People such a Joseph - MCML and the ever lovely Miss Mary Ellen, but those UGLY BASTARDS from the Specific Northwet are shit out of luck ese!

:lol:

Damn.

Your plan does fit nicely with my idea of taking the beautiful little Mini-Me for a winter ride.....

But I have commitment issues and you need your peeps lined up.

Have fun, Papa! And play safe :thumbsup:
