Passport/Travel Documents Requirements
The following summarizes information available on the Department of Homeland Security’s website.
JANUARY 31, 2008
U.S. and Canadian citizens will need to present either a WHTI (which means Western Hemisphere Travel Initialtive)-compliant document or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, plus proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. DHS also proposes to begin alternative procedures for U.S. and Canadian children at that time.
SUMMER 2008
At a later date to be determined, the departments will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have either a U.S. passport; a U.S. passport card; a trusted traveler card such as NEXUS, FAST, or SENTRI; a valid Merchant Mariner Document (MMD) when traveling in conjunction with official maritime business; or a valid U.S. Military identification card when traveling on official orders.
This is the latest information on this issue as far as I can find out.

First time TJ! Wooh Hooh!
Went to Tijuana for my first visit last Wednesday and Thursday. All I got to say is that it really surpassed all my expectations for quality. This tijuana picture gallery and whoever the hell that King of Siht is really does not do the zona justice. There are some gorgeous girls here!
Followed the tj guide and spent the night state side in chula vista at a motel 6. Was 50 dollars for a bare bones room. Asked for a non smoking room, but when I went in, the room had that stale smoke smell. It had a ash tray turned upside down with a "no smoking" symbol. WTF? I guess since I don't smoke it is a non smoking room that night. LOL. Also the bed was kinda crappy, with really old linens and comforter. Would maybe shell out an extra 20 for a bit better of a room next time at a different hotel, or maybe spend the night in TJ at one of the hotels there. Still doing research on that, could only find la mancion and pueblo amigo so far. Any one have a link or list of recommendations for hotels in tijuana? Just middle of the road accommodations would be great.
Well, I went to all the popular stops: Chicago club, Adelitas, Tropical, Hong Kong. I have got to say all of them have there graces, but the Hong Kong setup is the coolest looking one. Reminds me of something from a Quentin Tarantino movie. I will report the experiences in the appropriate threads.
Was a little nervous going in the first time because it was night and all the stories of cops and robbers I have read about were on my mind. Went through the rotating doors and straight to the cabs. Asked the cab to take me to adelitas for cinco, and I was off to the races. Or so it seemed. The guy tells me that federalis are all over the zona roja inspecting the place because of corruption and no taxis are allowed up there. He says he can take me to revolution where I can walk to the zona or he can take me to Amnesia. He also says that at 11pm the zona will be open again. I could smell the bullsht, but I was still not to confident with my surroundings to stick to my guns. So I said take me to amnesia, where I would have a beer then immediately get another taxi to the zona. I think this place is on revolution, what a pile of sht. Its a rip off establishment, charging prices like an american bar. I had a very quick drink then left. The door man asks if I want to go somewhere else for free blah, blah, blah. By this time I am have some anger confidence going, and am ready to stick to my guns and counter any type of BS someone tries feeding me.
I get in the next cab, and this guy is even more persistent than the first! I ask to go to adelitas, and he says "you don't want to go there, amigo. The girls there are guys with big dciks". At this time I remembered that in mexico, it is always a haggle, always someone trying to get that extra dollar. I say I don't mind and for him to take me there. He goes on with his sales pitch for some other place then finally says he will take me there.
We end up pulling up to Purple Rain! He says " This is Adelitas! " I say no it is not and I start getting really serious and kind of pissed. He finally drives me down the street and drops me off across the street from adelitas. What a dcik!
As soon as I am out of the cab and I see all the chicas standing on the wall and the big bright lights of Adelitas lighting up the night sky, all the BS leading up to this point just disappeared and was replaced with a strong desire to hump something.
I walk across the street, past some cops at the door, and into the Holy Temple. Continued in appropriate threads!
