Oceanside: Along the Pacific Coast Highway
There were quirky AirBnBs with the most “Portland” of hosts, dubious motels reeking of detergent and disinfectant, middle-of-nowhere diners serving giant plates for one, and no shortage of jaw-dropping vistas.

British Columbia in Four Seasons

The Nautilus Explorer
It was 3pm. The Mexican sun was scorching hot as we stood on the empty dock at the Puerto Los Cabos Marina. We were supposed to board the boat now. But it was nowhere in sight.
