The Mystery Trip Every year we go on a Mystery Trip. We set a budget, the travel agent ("The Agent") knows all of our other parameters. Everything else??

The Agent books everything and sends us a package of envelopes to be opened at different phases of the trip telling us where to go next. The only things we do know are HOW LONG the trip will be and DEPARTURE place and time. Well - as they say.... It's a Mystery.

And at the airport for departure.
Solid trip. Highly recommend San Diego. Was a little chilly while we were here but was unseasonable. Travel to Julian and beyond was great. So many different types of ecosystems. Plus the bonus of a micro nation of the Republic of Slowjamastan.
