Hi Bumbaya,

Here is a map from Mapquest to get you started.

For those who are on the fly and want to land a place in a hurry these coupons will come handy, i.e., from "Room$avers"

If you are renting cars for your trtavels during the stay. But be weary of all of the gimmicks and the games that they play. Insure yourself and the vehicle to the hilt.

bumbaya,
I did take a break during one winter and spent a few weeks and ran down the coast. Lots of relatives there to meet and swap info. But five days of the week is boring and hence the run down the coast. I did rent a buggy to travel. But parked it down the mexico way and saw a little bit of the pollution there too.
Smog is the killer. Surprised to see some shops selling Oxygen in Mexico. I thought I have seen bad drivers, None to beat the ones in LA and Frisco.
Second time I attended a seminar that way, but it was too hectic and limited to the few days indoors and a flight back.
I still have to dip my tootsies in the Pacific and take a barefoot walk on the sandy beaches. They say there is no Bhel there on the beaches so took a step back on that.
Nice people, Care free and friendly.

Looking forward to a short stay some time in the future. I am sure it will come.
Thanks for asking.

Freddie.
