Baja - Travel Deals

Located on that thin strip of land that hangs down from mainland United States like a piece of food hanging from your chin, San Jose Del Cabo is one of the hot places to head for sunshine this winter. The Baja California resort town is a particular favorite for divers, golfers, fishermen and those who simply like to kick back and relax on some of the finest beaches that Mexico has to offer.

Without the brand name recognition of its fellow Baja city, Cabo San Lucas, San Jose Del Cabo is not quite as crowded and as a result it exudes the laid back attitude that will win even the most stressed out, fast paced person over. If you visit the area between January and March you might even get a glimpse at whales migrating southward from the Bering Strait. Whale watching tours are aplenty and this is one activity you certainly don’t want to miss if you are there at the right time of year.

One other must-see event in San Jose Del Cabo is the sunset. Watching the glorious yellow orb known as the sun crash into the sea in the horizon is the essence of beauty and romance. Make a picnic, grab a few adult beverages and sit close to the one you love. It is nature’s poetry at its best.

United Airlines has some killer deals on flights to San Jose Del Cabo. You can fly there from Chicago for less than $400 round trip and from Denver for around $300. Now you have no reason not to head South of the Border this winter.

Remember how I was telling you about Baja, California? Of course you do. It was only a couple of days ago and no matter how hard you try to kill your brain cells you should be remember something like this.

We’re still on a Baja kick because the prices for flights there these days are cheaper than a cheap coat. How cheap? Glad you asked. Frontier Airlines will fly you from LA to Cabo San Lucas for about 200 bones this winter. If you haven’t been to Cabo, it is Fabo. Just ask Hernán Cortés, he visited there in 1535.

If you look at a map of North America you’ll see that dropping down south of California is a peninsula called Baja California. It doesn’t look like much on a map, but the place is full of beauty, charm and pots of gold. Ok, I made up that last part, but I would never lie about the absolute killerness (if that’s a word) of Baja.

You should check it out for yourself. Southwest Airlines is offering some cruise deals that will give you a taste of what the area has to offer. Practice your Spanish, hit the links, or float in the pool and never leave the ship. However you choose to spend your vacation, you’ll have a new appreciation for that droopy place on the map below California.
