Ensenada, Mexico

Sort of long wait on the shuttle into town due to waiting for more people to fill up the bus. Went ziplining which was fun, clean, and professional. Also went to La Bufadora. Our taxi was perfect!!

Very nice review, when we were there last October, we had a blast at Long Beach. We even toured the Queen Mary. It was neat to compare it to the Inspiration
