Great TJ Map.... New Sign Posted regarding being a minute over 8 hrs.
[QUOTE=Efjayel]Yeah, I just noticed my map finally made the Tijuana guide. Joy! : D Thanks to all you guys who used it and also suggested it should be added.
I think one of the guys at the parking lot behind jack in the box charged me for going over the time limit of 8 hours even though I didn't. $5 bucks for 8 hours and $10 more if you go over. My fault was that I didn't pay attention to the ticket. And after I paid they kept the ticket so I couldn't check. Ten dollars is no big deal I guess but now I make sure to check the ticket before I pay.
One time I left the parking lot literally like 2 minutes before my time was up.[/QUOTE]Great map update with pertinent info regarding Tijuana visit.
LOL the new parking sign. Being one minute over 8 hours. No exceptions $10. 00
A zero tolerance parking lot and only one with quick access to fwy for $5. Eight (8) absolute hours. $10 & $15 options.
Time to get a passport card
So I saw somebody asking about passports in the AB thread, but I had a question myself. After driving all the way down to San Ysidro and realizing that I had forgotten my passport, AGAIN! , I want to get that new passport card so that I can just keep it in my wallet at all times. I printed out the application, and am almost ready to send it back in, but I also have to send my regular passport with it, and I tell myself, "one more trip, then send in the paperwork"
Has anyone actually got one of these cards yet? And how long am I going to be without a passport while I am waiting to get it back in the mail from that delightful bureaucracy?
By the way, for all or you still using a birth certificate and DL, you too are coming down to the wire. Unless the gov pushes the date back again, you are going to NEED that passport this summer. I think that I read about some deal on getting a passport card and book for the same price, for first time passport applications.

Get them while there is still time!
