I had to fill out a temp visa and got stamped. When I go to Mexicali by car thru calexico they never ask.

Depending upon the Mexican government's policy du jour, you are likely to have your passport stamped at their end of the pedestrian crossing.

Me either. Always cross late, around midnight7, if that matters.

I stayed at Pueblo Amigo two weeks ago. It's an easy walk to the border and there are no issues with bring someone back. My complaints are that it's old and tired. I get tired of dealing with the taxis and should have used Uber. It's a twenty minute walk from the zone.

If trying to keep a trip to tijuana secret, then it's best to have a card (sentri card, passport card) that you can use as opposed to a booklet passport since it's going to get stamped when entering the USA.

Not True. I've been asked. And if you get in an accident, and you don't have insurance, you can have big problems.

I'm headed back down to Tijuana on Sept 14-17 if anyone is interested in meeting up. Flights right now are crazy cheap. Nonstop round trip from Kansas City for under $200.

Near casino? Which casino? Where are you walking? Any hotel closer to the Zona will bea place you don't want to walk. I've never worried about walking around the Ticuan. It's the other hotels closer to the Zona that are scarier to walk around at night.

I like Pueblo Amigo. It's a bit more expensive than some other popular hotels, but it is classy and has a casino. It is farther from the Zona but a cab is about the same as from closer places and a walk during the day isn't bad. I also like that they don't make you check the girls in at the front desk -- because it's a casino they don't know if you are taking the girl to play cards or up to your room. A bit cheaper is Hotel Villa de Zaragoza, which is like an older motel, with rooms that face the outside so girls can come right to your room. Ticuan is also popular. It's a nice hotel in a great location just off Revo close to lots of shops and restaurants, but they do make you check your guests in and they don't like letting you have two guests at a time -- just feels too nosy for me.

It looks like the Foxy's website is down. Does anyone know how to contact the girls from there? I'm looking specifically for Nohemy.

I actually thought about spending a night looking into street parking from E Street on South to Beyer near trolley stops. It would be interesting to see what is available.
How do you judge the parking avilability? Do you ask locals if it ok to park?
You would still have a 3 day limit before you needed to move it right ?
There are a lot of streets in Chula Vista without any restrictions on parking and no street cleaning. But how long can you park without a problem then I do not know maybe 48 or 72 hours max. ?

But I've only done this for day trips, and the trolley website says there's a 24-hour limit. I have no idea how well they enforce this.
I also park at the trolley parking lot in Chula Vista, mainly from around 7 PM and come back around midnight. The last trolley is 1258 AM and the next after 430 AM. This is a good deal trolley ticket price $ 2. 50 one way (over 60 yo or 62 yo Only $ 1. 25). I guess someone is watching the parking because the cameras are hanged on street lamps. I have never parked more than 24 hours.
