Looks like a good time.

I'm surprised nobody asked yet: How much did you pay for diesel down there, how did your truck run on it and what fuel mileage did you get?

Fuel was about $2.50ish. Just did the math in my head once so not exact I'm sure. Truck ran just fine on it and I got just under 15 mpg running 65 mph without AC.

I live/work south of La Paz. The diesel is about $$2.20 US here. No price change in 3+ years. The fishing here is unbelievable. While the Yellow Tails are nice, I prefer the Dorado, Rooster fish or Striped Marlin;-) The weather is starting to warm up so we'll be heading to 'The 88's" in the next couple of weeks!!

Wish we could have got into some of those fish. Maybe in a month or two. Supposed to have a project coming up in LA so if we can get the time off we'll be there.
