You can bet on these games, right? What time do they start, and what days do they play?

Tijuana passports
Posted: Tue June 9, 2009 10:05 PM UTC
Well my cousins and I are planning to drive to Tijuana June 26th, just for a weekend. But I do not have a passport! Of course I have my birth certificate and a valid US ID, but I heard that its the law now that you need to have a passport to come back to the US. But Its pretty much impossible for me to get one by the 26th of this month! It takes forever to get it mailed to you. What would be the consequences if I go without a passport?

Ensenada Getting from Ensenada to LAX
Posted: Thu April 16, 2009 04:08 PM UTC
I'm racing in the 2009 Newport to Ensenada regatta this month as a crewmember and am having a hard time finding transportation back to LAX from Ensenada. Nobody wants to rent a car for pick-up in Mexico and drop-off at LAX. Greyhound doesn't go to LAX from Ensenada and the only route they have takes 11 hours with a 5 hour layover in Tijuana and drop off some 15 miles from LAX. Haven't been able to locate a puddle jumper flight from ESE to LAX.

Someone please help!
My flight out of LAX back to St. Louis is at 9:40am Monday the 27th.
The sailing race starts Friday the 24th at noon and we should be in Ensenada by late Sat evening. That leaves me with Sunday for travel back to LAX, or a very early flight Monday morning.

Ensenada Rosarito/Ensenada Bike Ride - Transportation, Where to Stay, etc.
Posted: Fri February 20, 2009 12:42 AM UTC
Hi! We are planning on doing to Rosarito/Ensenada bike ride and have a few questions for anyone who does this frequently. Where is a good place to stay near the finish line? Is it better to stay in Rosarito or Ensenada? Also, would you recommend driving down or would it be better to get a package deal with a tour company? I have driven to Rosarito many times (never to Ensenada) but some of my friends have me worried about safety right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!!

Tijuana Kids in Tijuana
Posted: Wed January 7, 2009 12:29 AM UTC
Hi, I'm a student of a liberal arts high school. Me and a few classmates, as well as about five adults, teachers, translators, documentary directors and such, are all going to Tijuana in order to document illegal immigration and some of the humanitarian crisis. I really want to go but from what I understand I have some things to fear. I mostly want to go to do a report on the street kids. I know they're mostly like me, but I am a little ashamed to admit that I am afraid of them. Does anyone have any tips or ideas to stay safe. Mostly ideas that don't have to do with 'just don't go'. Comments are so very appreciated.

Tijuana Going North across the boarder
Posted: Thu January 1, 2009 03:33 AM UTC
We always cross at Tecate because we are from Colorado. We happen to be in Calif. the last time we went to Baja and going south it was a snap. After the winter we needed to go back to Riverside Calif so we went back through TJ. Untill we got close to the crossing things seemed to be somewhat marked but at the last moment things did not go good as we missed the turnoff to the boarder and went east a long way untill we could turn around and get back to the west crossing. Help! Is there a good map showing the way north or help as to what to look for?? Thanks Steve

Tijuana Under the arch
Posted: Tue December 16, 2008 02:54 AM UTC
My first visit to Tijuana, we were at a large brick fallen wall on the main street of Los Revolution, just under the new large arch of modern Tijuana. The old brick wall had many arches and would not have been made to stop people from crossing through. We would like to learn the history of this wall, and why there is a jail with a prisoner on top of the mound built in front.
Thanks, Judie

Tecate Tecate Tips
Posted: Wed July 23, 2008 07:10 PM UTC
Visiting Tecate August 2 and 3. Staying at El Dorado and Rosita Resort respectively. Just wondering whether there's anything I should be aware of - no-go areas, dodgey neighbourhoods, etc. given that this is a border town and probably sees a lot of transient travellers heading north. Actually, any insights (+ or -) would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing it's going to be pretty warm, but is it a dry heat or a humid heat? Thanks in advance. Susan

Ensenada Questions about San Diego to Ensenada route
Posted: Mon June 16, 2008 09:34 PM UTC
OK, I've read all of the tips I've seen, but none seem to address my question.
My daughters (17 & 12) and I will be flying in to SAN in mid-July. Our flight doesn't arrive until after 9pm, so we plan to spend the night at a motel. We will be doing some volunteer work in Ensenada, but no one will be available to pick us up. They suggested renting a car and returning it four-five days later when they can go up there, but I don't want the expense and worry of renting a car for that long. I checked with some rental companies, and none do one way rentals into Mexico. I'm fine with taking the bus, but I'm not sure about bringing luggage.
Question 1: A lot of the tips say to take the trolley, then the bus, but would there be room on each for 3 big bags and 3 carry-ons?
Q2: Would it be better to stay at a motel nearer the airport, or nearer the border (remember we're arriving late...)
Q3: Any motel recommendations? We're not looking for a four star experience, just somewhere safe to sleep.

Thanks so much!
Michelle

Tijuana TIJ Authorized Taxi from Border
Posted: Tue April 29, 2008 02:44 AM UTC
What are the names of the five taxi companies authorized to service the Tijuana Airport and is it possible to get one of those cabs from the Otay Mesa border crossing to the airport? If so, which side of the border will they pick us up? How much should it cost to go the 2.9 miles from the Otay Mesa crossing to TIJ? How safe are they?

Rosarito Rosarito/Puerto Nuevo - Drive or Take Tour/Motorcoach???
Posted: Tue April 22, 2008 07:57 PM UTC
We want to take a weekend trip from Southern California to Rosarito Beach and Puerto Neuvo but I'm contemplating whether or not to take the tour/motor coach route or just drive down from our house - probably an hour drive. The tour we found takes you to Tijuana, Rosarito, and Peurto Nuevo for lunch. It's $75 per person for 11 hours and I'm guessing it's the easy route, don't need to worry about driving, car insurance, rentals etc. However you're not free to do as you wish. Has anyone taken the tours and likes it? Is anyone opposed to the tours and could you please tell me why? Also are there any hotels in Rosarito that let you use their facilities for the day (not overnight stay), these are available in Cabo and was thinking of doing that if we drive. Thanks much in advance for your time!

As previously suggested, a day trip to Tecate sounds interesting. What are some of the main things "to do or see" and is it easy to leave your car on the California side of the border and just cross over?

Tijuana College kid in TJ?? Help! I'm the MOM!
Posted: Thu March 20, 2008 01:19 AM UTC
My son is a student at UC San Diego, 19-years-old, good head on his shoulders (is that an oxymoron for 19-year-old??) He wants to go to Tijuana on a Saturday night with a group of friends, and take a taxi from the border area to a night club called Koko Bongo, or something like that. I want to tell him NO, but I'm asking for advice. Assuming the kids don't get falling-down drunk, which I don't think they will, is it safe??? He can't go until I send him a copy of his birth certificate. He has a driver's license and picture school ID, but I believe he needs a copy of his birth certificate to cross the border. I'm so TORN!! HELP!!
