So I guess for those who don't want your passport stamped, maybe you want to try to give them your Global Entry card first and see if they take it?

Also ask for the dominatrix. She is a cutie when she isn't snarling.

Or get the 180-day FMM and cross through the Mexican line.

Seriously _migrants_ are taking up your rich white ass rooms?

What's rich to anyone from the USA $30-$35? Really? Do rich people want to stay in $30-$35 room in Tijuana?

In November I wanted to see what a Leyva room looked like but all booked up on a Tues. Night and the staff did not have a vacant room to show me. I put 2 and 2 together and figured it was filled with many migrants as they wait to get into the USA.

You will lose your state driver's license way before that.

Got to admit flying in instrument MC, in older planes without automation, requires a lot of mental alertness and hard work. Unless fully alert, pilots will likely make fatal mistakes. I was flying single instrument pilot in a high-performance twin to LAX early in the morning after a long trip, without a couple cups of coffee to wake up. Ceiling was 10 K overcast, broken layers down to 800 feet. LA approach control vectored me around the basin and put me in various holding patterns to sequence for the ILS approach. Man, that was mentally taxing early morning after a long trip. Without the new HSI and moving map, I had no idea where I was after so many turns until I finally got on the localizer beam. Don't recommend drunk or sleepy flying in busy approach areas like LAX or NY Kennedy.

I don't think CHP uses radar speed detectors anymore. They all use LIDAR gun day or night time, triggering quick bursts of laser. How will you detect and avoid those? The old K, Ka and X- band radar detectors are useless. They also follow cars and use LIDAR to confirm speed.

I did find a CHP on the left side of freeway, aiming a LIDAR gun at me from about half mile away. He nailed me so was clambering into his patrol car to chase. I stepped on the gas and quickly got off the exit a mile down the road, parked the car among hundreds in a shopping mall hehe. He drove around the parking lot looking but not finding. Sorry officer. I was patiently waiting for you and your ticket but you just did not show up hehe.

Private and Commercial certificates are pretty much the same. Commercial only means someone can pay you $5 to fly a box somewhere. That's really the only difference, is that you can be paid any amount to do "a thing". It's about two weeks of training past private to get commercial, although it's mostly done after instrument rating, because most of the written and oral review comes from the Instrument study as well.

ATP's are the ones that fly scheduled passenger routes. Usually MUCH longer wait times, and some lower BAC limits.

Any DUI or wet-reckless can cause a suspension from the administrator for any period of time. Depending on circumstances.

This statement is so incredibly wrong: "The old K, Ka and X- band radar detectors are useless. They also follow cars and use LIDAR to confirm speed. " I drive most of the western states within any given year. And only one in 1000 or more hits are Lidar, and I chalk them up to some of the odd LED brake lights that some cars have that can do this. I rarely EVER see a laser unit after it goes off.

CHP abso-fucking-lutely uses Ka band radar, SOME have lidar, IF they decide to get out of the car, be all uncomfortable about it, and use it. But ALL have Ka capabilities. Maybe 1 in 100 speeders have a detector. So just sit in the car, and people are lining up to give the state their money. I get 10-15 good pings followed by a visual of the unit every time I drive to LA and back. Once. Once. Got a lidar hit from an actual CHP unit. Car in the fast lane in front of me got nailed. In San Jose proper. I see CHP with laser now and again, but never a ping. Maybe not on. Maybe not pointed at me. Who knows.

But -rare- as fuck.

I understand you can enter Mexico without a passport for a $30 fee? What ID so you need? State IS?

And what's the return like? How do you get back to the US without a passport? Just a driver's license or state ID?

Thanks.

No, an FMM is -not- a form of ID for crossing into Mexico.

You need a PP or a PP card. I was caught without my PP card by accident, and I was. I guess. Deemed OK enough to enter, with a polite warning.

I have a Sentri card to get back into the US just fine.

So..you have your good looks and such to get into MX if you get passport checked, and have none, and back into the US if you have none...they cant say no, but it could slow you down depending who you get for a minute or 5.

They have to let you into the US if you're American, but they'll grill you for it. As for entering Mexico, they sometimes don't check cause they're distracted and you can slip passed them, and other times they do ask for passport.

In December, I just walked right through without showing any ID. In January, I was stopped and had to pay $35 for FMM card and they wrote down my passport ID on the FMM card.

You are confused. You need a passport to enter Mexico. The $30 fee is for a 180-day FMM (basically permission to be in the country for six months). The 7 day FMM is supposed to be free. There are many reports of crossers being forced to buy the 180 day FMM even for stays fewer than 7 days. Your experience may or may not be the same.

There are reports of some crossers paying bribes to get into Mexico without a passport. I would not count on this. Some say they look Latino and cross in the "locals" line and get in without a passport. Again, do not count on this. If you try to cross without a passport you stand a good chance of being sent back. OTOH they might accept a drivers license. How lucky do you feel?

To get back into the States you are supposed to have a passport. However, a DL and a sob story, or perhaps a certified copy of your birth certificate, will get you in. You may or may not get sent to secondary for more questioning. YMMV. But if you are a citizen they have to let you in. It will be the agent's discretion as to how much crap to give you.

Well as been mentioned many times, if you are a USA citizen they can not deny you entry. That does not mean they can't hassle you and send you to secondary. So it all depends on the agent. I have gone before with no ID at all (by accident) and coming back to the USA was just as easy as having a passport. If I remember correctly I just told him my DL number and I got through fast.

I got caught in one of those days last spring and had to pay the $30. I did use it while it was valid to walk in through the "Mexican" line and not have to show my passport. Recently I decided to pay the $30 again to get the 180 day pass so I could cross the border without my passport while it is being renewed. Got to admit it is nice to walk in through the "Mexican" side and not have to wait in line for the foreigner agent to decide whether to hassle me for the money or not.

So, no it is not necessarily a for sure thing you will have to pay. You are more likely to be able to go through without it. Take a currently valid prescription with you and say you are going to a pharmacy and they will generally let you in.

**Captain Solo** · 02-09-22 08:53

Smaller pharmacies away from Revo would likely sell you just about anything you want without presc.

I just bought a box of Amoxicillin for someone with an infected tooth from Farmacia Piri, $10 for 16 pills, no presc. Farmacia International, on Calle 2 corner Ave Constitucion near the McDonalds, also sells anything without presc. , but prices are higher. A wingman bought a box of Azithromicin 8 pills for $20.

Looks like farmacias in Tijuana don't have to employ trained and registered phamacists. Anybody can sell meds. Be careful the meds may be laced with fentanyl. Lots of guys bought meds from Piri. So far I have heard no complaints. Their Sildenafils are known to work well without severe side effects. The guy that runs the farma in the Mercado de Artesana swore to me his Cialis was genuine, in factory box with a hologram seal. Either my dick refused to cooperate or his med was fakes.

Have buddy asking how easy it isto get in Mexico and if he needs a prescription? I don't visit the pharmacies in Mexico for those things so I thought to ask here. Thanks for any info.

I have always had easy times purchasing 2 MG bars of said prescription drug. Just have to have a feel for the pharmacy. I don't know how else to put it. Have bought in six cities in Mexico. Price has been consistent at 75 US for 90 bars. Helps I once had a prescription for it as I always bring a phone pic to show them although the original date does not show. (Plausible deniability at the border) I lead with what I think is the price and start by asking for 180 bars. Gets their attention. Never have left with less. As far as walking back over the line, I remove all the pills from the two jars and distribute them loosely in the six pocket shorts I am wearing. Between phone, keys, hand sanitizer LOL, there are no lumps to bring suspicion. Just got to be Cool Hand Luke and for good measure have a condom here out there in your pockets just for fun. And never abuse drugs.
