My disappointment with this video is that too much of the content covered the wildlife and sealife in the area. Although I would like to have viewed some of it, there was just too much time given to it. Instead we hoped to see more of the towns and meet the people as John drove toward his destination. He visited so many interesting places along the way that its unfortunate he didn't include more of the people and culture. Also there really weren't any significant "travel tips" given. Such as, safety in travel ( the roads looked pretty desolate), time of day to travel, best times to cross the border (long wait) both coming and going, papers needed to cross the border, is language a real barrier, any particular laws we tourists should be aware of? He did mentioned some great restaurants and RV parks and showed some beautiful scenery along his 1000mile trip. I do plan to visit Ensenada next time were in California, and did enjoy and gain some knowledge from this video.

Sophie has it exactly right. If you're looking for information about travel in Baja, this isn't it. He opens with a long segment on illegal immigration (I assume you're going the other way - legally) and then spends most of the time on the history, flora and fauna of the region. On the other hand, his photography is good and you do get a look at Bahia de Los Angeles and Mulege, two places you want to see. I think there are better travel guides out there.
