General Reports

[Bbond]

So here's the situation: last week I decided I'd had enough of the long lines, so I went downtown to the S. D. County building and I applied for a passport card so I can use the Ready Lane. I brought my current (expires 2022) passport book with me, and during the application process they took my passport book away from me (which I hadn't expected them to do) as part of the passport card application process, and they told me I will receive my passport book back, plus my new passport card, in about 4-6 weeks.

So apparently, if you already have a passport book, and you apply for a passport card, you have to temporarily surrender your passport book to Uncle Sam until sends it back to you along with your new passport card.

So as of right now I am passport-less. Except I do have my old expired (in 2012) passport book. It's my old one that I never threw out a few years ago when I renewed it.

They would have accepted the old passport book for the card application, after verifying that you had a current one. Trust me, I have done that, twice. The people wanted a birth. Cert, or current passbook, but I showed them the instructions for the card app, it says an expired book can be submitted after the agency verifies you have a current book. Read the instructions, it is very clear on that.

But don't wait, just go as you did before, the state department told CBP that they cannot refuse entry to an American citizen. If you want to be on the safe side carry birth cert and a DL.

Show your old Passbook. Your info is updated on file in the Computer. Just sat the tsa has your passport. Did they give you a receipt for your transactions? Bring it. You will be fine.

Thanks for the response, makes sense. It turns out we didn't go today after all. My buddy had an old tree blow over in his yard due to today's high winds (Santa Ana's) and got stuck at home on the clean-up, so we pushed it back one week to hopefully next Wednesday. Will report then.

#2 or #3. You are worried about nothing. If you have your CA DL you should be fine. If they have any questions then tell them the truth. You should be fine

Forgive me if this is a bit long-winded but I could use a bit of advice from you learned gentlemen about whether or not I should head into Tijuana tomorrow.

Me: San Diego resident, semi-regular monger in Tijuana (anywhere from 5-10 times per year). I have a regular passport (book) that is current, and that's what I always use when crossing back into ther USA at the border.

Except, as an aside, there was one time a few months ago when I had spent a weekend further down in Baja with a buddy and, when we were sitting in the line to cross back into the USA, I realized I'the forgotten to bring my passport. I initially freaked out, figuring it was going to be a major hassle, but when it came our time to pass thru, I just showed the officer my Calif drivers license, told him I forgot my passport, and he let me thru with no muss no fuss.

At the time I figured I just dodged a bullet and counted my blessings. And since then never again have I forgotten to bring my passport with me when going to Mex.

So here's the situation: last week I decided I'd had enough of the long lines, so I went downtown to the S. D. County building and I applied for a passport card so I can use the Ready Lane.

So as of right now I am passport-less. Except I do have my old expired (in 2012) passport book. It's my old one that I never threw out a few years ago when I renewed it.

I figured. No biggie. I'll just not be able to go to Tijuana until I receive back my current passport book, and my new passport card, in the mail in a few weeks.

Fate had other plans. Just got a call from a buddy in L. A. Who's going to be in town Wednesday, and wants to hit up Zona Norte, but doesn't want to fly solo. And, as an enticement for my accompaniment, has offered to treat me to a round or two with HK or Adelita's finest (plus all I can drink and eat). Hell, that's an offer I can't refuse!

What should I do? My options are:

1) Don't take the chance. Don't go.

2) Take just my CA drivers license and show that to the agent when crossing back over, and tell the truth. That my current passport book was submitted with my application for passport card and I haven't gotten it back yet.

3) Take my expired passport book and show that to the agent when crossing back over, and tell the truth. That my current passport book was submitted with my application for passport card and I haven't gotten it back yet. But here's my old passport.

4) Any other options? I don't want to spin any tall tales because I suspect they can look up in their super-duper computer system that I have a passport book and I'm currently in application process for passport card. I suspect they can also look up my border-crossing history and see I'm semi-regular.

I don't want to miss out on a free afternoon of fine ladies, but on the other hand, I don't want to spend 24 hours sweating it out in secondary inspection, wondering if I'll ever be allowed back into my own country again! All thoughts / advice welcome. In return, I'll owe a trip report. Thanks guys!

I'll try to make this as short as I can, I just got back from Tijuana this morning, ......

....... This girl was amazingly sexy, hot. And very fun behind closed doors. But I'm just confused why she would provide me all this info and not follow through, I didn't ask for her real name or her room number she gave that on her own. But just goes to show some girls are excellent actresses. And always assume they are lying. Even if it doesn't make sense why they would.

That is simply her attempt to make sure to collect a BIG tip.

[Spinneritas]

She was hoping that by you trying to contact her with no response, you would give her money for the credits on her phone.

That's the first thing that came to my mind also. Even my GF's in th US try tricks like that, 'Oh, I couldn't call or text because my Verizon bill is overdue. ' I fell for it in the beginning but now I know better.

[Burma Jones]

I'll try to make this as short as I can, I just got back from Tijuana this morning, was there for 4 days, I stayed at hotel Cascadas above the Hong Kong club. Had a great time like always, meet one of the most hottest girls at Hong Kong on Thursday club name Tanya, gorgeous girl next door face, beautiful toned body with a great bubble butt, We hit it off, she gave me 2 numbers to make sure I got a hold of her, she gave me her real name, and her room number (since she was also staying at hotel Cascadas) , she told me I should come by her room, the next day. Seemed great, after our sexy time on Thursday, I thanked her and I was out, the next day I tried to get with her again, but she was always busy, she's was very popular. All the guys wanted her. It was evident when she went to dance on the main lower stage in Hong Kong, once she got up there. There was a large crowd around the stage. I texted her a few times, no response, next day Saturday, same situation. I was able to talk to her briefly while she was dancing in the Miami area, she said she didn't get my texts cause she didn't have credits in her phone, and I asked will I be able to see her tonight she said yes, she gets off at 3am to go to her room, I said ok. It sucked because up to this point I was waiting for her for about 2hrs for her to be free.

But not new to the hobby. Been reading post here for the last couple of months and finally decided to register so I could post. Been going to La Zona for the past 12 years. My last trip was in February but before that it had been a few years. I must say that things have changed. My biggest surprise was HK. That place seems to be the spot now. Back in the days it was always Adelitas and Chicago bar. I could not believe how they remodeled HK. Last time I went only entrance was through the alley. Needless to say I was a kid in a candy store. Have not been able to stop thinking about the place ever since. I want to make my way down again but don't really like going alone and don't know to many people who are in the hobby. If anybody wants a wingman please let me know. I always have more fun with someone then by myself.

I'll be up for a trip down at the end of May, if you are still interested by then.

5. Speaking of moving on, don't get trapped by the same pussy. Strip club hounds have a term called an "ATF"- or "all-time-favorite." Forget it. You didn't travel across the border into Mexico to get guilt-tripped by a girl since you promised her last time after your last "mind-blowing" session when she came twice and no one had ever done that before and age doesn't matter because you're different and she can see past your outside to your good heart and that's why she's the only person you should be buying drinks for, not the 18-year old new hottie from Monterrey with the gravity-defying natural-C cups who you just offered to take upstairs out of frustration after waiting an hour for your supposed ATF to finish up with another client who means nothing to her like you do so she's really sorry so buy her a VIP, because she's your ATF, and also so she can shoot daggers and seethe at who just tried to take you, her moneymaker (I mean, her novio) away from her.

Hope a rookie learns something, and veterans don't find too much about.

Great stuff MT! Thank you for bringing on #5. This does seem to happen to me. Anyways I am stuck to my wifes pussy. Getting stick to a puta pussy is even worse.

Had opportunity to head down to the Zona for half a day. By the way, Masked Turbator posted a classic piece of work on 4/21. I usually step into the bars less traveled and this time was no different. I got there during he day and walked to the bars. Being a day of observance, SW availability and quality was down. Still I partook with one and finished a lackluster session.

Then headed to all the usual spots, HK, tropical, LC, etc.

Finally stepped into Playboy Club next to La Gloria Bar. I got a nice table dance session with this somewhat thick girl. She was very friendly and somehow got around to telling me she had a newborn. I asked if she was lactating. She said she was and they hurted. She told me she would only show me the rack if I would suck on them. I agreed and then began and intense milking and DFK fest. We proceeded to the VIP section and for about $45 dollars got into several positions until completion. By the end of the session my shirt and the floor was stained with milk. Good thing I brought a sweatshirt to cover up.

I left without getting a name and number. If anyone is into that fetish, I believe she works Sun-Wed. I live for experiences and that was definitely a first. I've had two good experiences at Playboy over the years, though the ladies are poor to fair looking. It's also a good place to get a test drive, ie lap dance before you go FS. But I think Spanish is primarily spoken here.

Border crossing through the Ready lane took about 40 min at 7pm. Sentri line had no queue.

When I visit Tijuana, business forces me to spend about half my nights in the US. Usually my San Ysidro nights have been at the Best Western, which has been fine for years. Their normal $65 / night price has skyrocketed to almost $90 / night and I really don't want to spend that much money for a 2nd rate hotel like BW. If anybody has a suggestion of a nearby US hotel of about that quality at a lower price, I'd like to know what it is.

Wish I could stay each night at Ticuan, it is much better and rigth now it is less money.

I would check the Rodeway Inn in San Ysidro. It looks to be about the nicest motel in San Ysidro from the outside. When I went past there last week they had a banner hanging down advertising I think something like $49 for week nights not sure about weekends. It might be a special rate so if you get quoted anything else ask them about the banner you saw on the building. Its also a short walk to the border.

It sucked because up to this point I was waiting for her for about 2hrs for her to be free.

It was around 3:45am, tried to find her room, couldn't find it, so I asked the front desk and they said before they take me they have to call first to make sure it's ok, they called her room and no answer.

The next day around 1pm I got to the front desk for them to call her room again, and no answer. The room provided was in the 900's, all I could find were rooms up to the 700's. But the employees never told me that room doesn't exist, they all made it seem like it was an actual room.

This girl was amazingly sexy, hot. And very fun behind closed doors. But I'm just confused why she would provide me all this info and not follow through, I didn't ask for her real name or her room number she gave that on her own.

See #7! I the rest is true but THEY ALL LIE! I don't care how long you know them. Some are better liars than others! I know about lying / I am an alcoholic! I am a professional liar! What pisses me off is that some of the chicas are BAD liars! If you are going to do it, at least be good at it!
