I haven't been to Tijuana in about 6 months, I will be going at the end of this month. How are they about FMM enforcement when walking through Pedeast these days?

$10 24 hour parking at the lot behind Carolin Shoes located at 660 E San Ysidro Blvd, it's less than a 5 minute straight walk to the border.

It's $15 a day now, but still the best value of the big lots in SY. The Holiday Lodge next door is still $10 but hard to find an empty spot on busy days.

$10 24 hour parking at the lot behind Carolin Shoes located at 660 E San Ysidro Blvd, it's less than a 5 minute straight walk to the border. You can also just park at any nearby trolley station for free and take the 2. 50 trolley ride to the border as well.

Thanks for the parking spot. 5 min walk and $20 or less for the day is all the extortion I can handle. Yes, was nice when parking was 8-10 for 24 hours. I looked into the Trolley idea and didn't pursue because last train is I think 8:30 pm-9 and that puts you at peak linea time. Didn't know how reliable or a hassle an uber / taxi would be, taking it 5 minutes north to a Trolley lot that I heard becomes a catalytic converter shopping mart past the last trolley's. I think best game plan for a day trip is arrive early as possible non-holiday at or before 1-2 pm. A bit earlier if you are interested in being the first's customer of the afternoon shift. Somehow make it to 11 pm. That doesn't seem difficult if you live very close by, but if you already had a morning drive, border cross, a few beers and bang. Your big head starts twirling around 6-7 pm. So it's bite the bullet and cough up another $100 for a cat nap at any hotel or power through. I found a place on Expedia called Paris hotel. Hostel, the single rooms were $50, and the hostel bunk room was $30, I actually half way considered booking and if needed taking a siesta in a Tijuana hostel? That's a LA / Hollywood movie plot waiting to happen LOL.

Thanks, I spent some time researching and ended up applying for the GE. I was discouraged by my research of the costs of parking at the border. Online it says 24 hours are now $50 to 80 at the close San Isidro lots? With a 2 hour rate of like $20-25, crazy if that is true (that's almost a hotel fare for your ride). Now, add on $75-90 for a spot to rest your head (Honk Kong or hotel on Revo. Tucan / Cesare type. Even some of the other budget offers are in the 50-70 range. For parking and a crash pad. That's close to $200 for basically no action. WTF has happened to this place? LOL.

Perhaps a drive across that 90 freeway to Otay Crossing is the way to go to skip crazy line back ups, and maybe the parking is not crazy $$ as well. I'm just trying to get in and out like I used to and not spend hours in a line and not waste money on short stay parking and hotel. I did register my car on the GE application but still a bit paranoid to roll in as I usually would be solo. Since I hate lines I'm going to hold off this weekend and give it a shot next weekend.

Tijuana is becoming like LA now. I remember when parking was 7. 00. Soon the girls in hk will be asking 150 for 30 minutes.

I have crossed at Otay on foot three times in the past 3 weeks. There has been no line going in and no line going out. The Uber to Centro was 150-200 pesos. I have GE but haven't needed to use it.

Has anyone been to Honolulu. I know it's not Tijuana but screw it. I'm going in a couple months. Any mongering at all there or is it Disney. How does the beach there compare to Cancun.

If it's 150 pesos from otay what are the taxis charging from the San ysidro side to revolution nowadays. When you cross to Mexico from the otay side, is there a place to buy a SIM card so I can Uber to revolution. An oxxo maybe.

Or earlier 1-2 day. And I thought I was the only one to have a thirst for tacos on 4th of July holiday? Thanks for the info everyone, ouch it's looking like this weekend is for 'the few the proud the brave'. Or those with Global entry pass, I need to look into that pass (I'd have it if I lived in SD). I'm thinking the only way to avoid the crazy lines is arriving early in the morning. Perhaps before 12 pm latest to cross and leaving very late as Hargow stated, past 11 pm. That's a long day, too long for me. Which means a hotel. Which are also getting more expensive and harder to find. HK has stopped the 1 night stop in guy like myself. I reserved a 1 night room there in advance think I saved $10 on the reservation. So it was $70 for a cat nap or kill time spot. But wasn't fun because they put me next to all the short time rooms. So not only was I inside club HK when I was trying to doze off for a few hours. I didn't even get to benefit from my personal extra time room as when I took the HK chica back she looked at it like a short time room as we walked 3 yards down from the door knock guys. I think even a dude asked her if he wanted a knock and she said no, she had the clock in her head it wasn't needed. Was not happy. LOL.

Some street girls look and smell so sexy I got huge erection just getting close to them, like Camela from Guadalajara. She was very pretty, cool, fun, sexy, classy, but gained some weight after CoVid.

Too funny, I'm sure you're not the only one and even funnier is the how the chica's notice and the variety of expressions from them. They watch everything. I think looking down at your junk is check number 4 or 5.

I'm assuming it's because it's the 4th of July weekend. The same situation with the long queue at Ped East can be on way back to the US from Mexico. Tuesday 4th July evening.

Like birds naturally know how to feed and care for their chicks, the male species are genetically coded to want to screw every female in proximity, to spread their seeds widely and to perpetuate the species. They all want new sexual experiences with new females' physiques, personalities and pussies. Even if he is married to Miss Universe, his eyes are still roving.

Popping the GFs everyday can get boring quickly. Young guys go to club to socialize, have fun with their friends, flirting with putas. If they find chicas more attractive or just different than their GFs, well, what happens in Tijuana stays in Tijuana, nobody needs to know.

There were nights in HK when I already popped 3 girls and drank heavily, but a hot chica came over flirting with her sweet sexy charms, rubbing her butt on my crotch, got the pup tent erected, had to take her up to the room for another round.

Bar girls have advantages over street girls that they can rub, grope, jack guys liberally inside the club. Same acts with girls on the street constitute misdemeanors, lewd acts in public ect, which can get both you and the girls in trouble with the greedy and retarded policias. That's why street girls always pull away on touches and kisses. Otherwise there would be a lot of pup tents walking in the alley.

WOW, that sounds like a nightmare LOL. I've honestly never seen that line beyond maybe 100 feet or so in front of the counter where they check your passport, which was all still inside that same room. Can't even imagine that line extending all the way to McDonalds I might've considered driving to Otay or something like that LOL.

What You Need to Know as a Foreigner with a Child in Mexico link https://mexlaw.com/need-know-foreigner-child-mexico/.

Posted by Mexlaw.

If you have a child in Mexico as a foreigner, it is important that you know about the child support laws and the newest amendment that came into effect as of April 16,2016. Going forward, anyone who is overdue on their child support payments will be stopped by immigration when they attempt to leave Mexico.

With the increasing support of technology and better tracking of debt owed to custodial parents, it will continue to become more difficult for parents that do not make their child support payments to avoid them. More and more children are born into dual nationality families, and the enforcement is increasing to include both countries to ensure children are financially supported.

Regardless which country you live in or where your child lives, you are obligated to pay child support. Ignoring your obligations will lead to legal problems and travel interruptions. Whether child support payments are late due to lack of communication, job changes or health issues you will need to rectify the problem. If you are unable to keep up your obligations to your child, you may seek legal counsel and request different arrangements for support.

Mexico's new amendment to article 48 of the Federal Immigration Law was created to help enforce the collection of overdue child support. If you are a foreigner or a Mexican National who is two months overdue on your child support payments and there is a court order regarding the child support filed, this new law will affect you.

Mexican lawmakers are following the trend of the United States, which does not allow citizens who are in arrears of child support to renew their passport and have even confiscated passports, prohibiting them to leave the country until their debt is paid. Canada has a similar penalty, your passport will be suspended and possibly cancelled along with certain federal marine and aviation licences if you are in arrears of child support payments.

The Mexican government has had some issues with the new law, although they say it is not a detention, you will need to pay your overdue amount before you may leave the country.
