replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis A6: I rented one in Cabo- was only $13/wk (2015)- way cheaper than one-way shuttle to resort! Just had to decline all the insurance, use my cc, & put big hold on my cc 😬 But great access to local beaches, towns, and the highways were fine. #TravelSkills

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS A7 I think they’re all good and different. Mexico is similar to the U.S., with so many regions that have different food, but all of it tastes great. #TravelSkills

Oaxaca should be on every hungry traveler’s hit list. If you are looking for the best food in Mexico, this city is a must! There are several food markets close by city centre with small kitchens serving up homemade Oaxacan dishes at super affordable prices. #travelskills

A5. You must go to #Mexico to see it and believe it.
My family and I have nothing but #gratitude to express to all the great people met, who welcomed us with such great hospitality, genuine kindness and helped us when we needed it.
Viva Mexico 🙋🙌

Q7 Without a doubt, #BajaCalifornia’s Valle de Guadalupe! It’s cooled by the Pacific Ocean, with a microclimate similar to that of the Mediterranean. It’s easy to grow things there – and have we raved about the seafood yet?! https://t.co/h17zgMiPns #TravelSkills
