Mexico 2023

JJ and I both had some vacation time available and came across this incredible deal for a flight to Cabo in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

We were thinking about doing a trip to California for a while now. With national hoidays coming up in in March we finally saw a good oppotunity to realize it. The cheapest flight we found was a roundtrip to LA, so this was where our it started and ended.

There are separate blogposts about our ro...
