I was in Tijuana tonight after a long absence, close to 2 years. I crossed at the new PedWest entrance. When entering Tijuana, I had to fill out a form and presented it to the officer, with my global entry card. I purposely did not bring my passport, for fear of losing it. He was not a happy camper and scolded me for not carrying my passport.

I told him that I left it in my hotel room and he decided to let me in. If I recall correctly, a few years ago, I used to enter Tijuana without filling any forms and never dealt with a Mexican border official. Does this mean I should carry my passport with me all the time, when I cross into Tijuana? Thanks.

GE is only good to enter the US. Yes, you need either a passport or passport card (which I prefer) to enter Mexico.

I made the switch to Schwab when BofA increased their fees for Mexico ATM withdrawals. Yesterday I got 19.35 and they will be refunding the local ATM charge minus the tax.

It's a shame I have an account freeze due to the Equifax hack and stupid for me to lose that damn pin with Chexsystem. I think I can go in person to show my verification but since I'm leaving to Guadalajara tomorrow I won't have time. I guess that is a tax for me, anyways I think Schwab is the best way to get money out in any international ATM due to the reimbursement.

The 20 bucks is no problem. As it mentions at the top of the first page, there are some difficulties in making a credit card payment and two to three weeks is useless. I don't want to get into trouble or get anyone else in trouble. Is there anyway an exception could be made on posting email addys. Is there any work around for the payment, a paypal account? Do you have a bitcoin wallet? I would be happy to deposit the funds in your bank account if it is national like Bank of America, Chase, etc. Any thoughts are welcome. Thank you. I am going anyway even solo.

It is posible a moderator may see your post. But you might want to ask the same questions through the contact us option at the bottom of the page.

Another option in case nobody can help you. On Saturday in the afternoon after 1: 30 stop in at Gold Palace bar ask the DJ where you can find Hugo Sanchez. And he will most likely know where we are.

I am making my first trip to Tijuana May 31st through June 4th. I would enjoy meeting anyone from this group with more experience than me, so pretty much any kind soul. Feel free to PM me. I promise a report.

I arrived in Tijuana relatively late after a long day of flights. The plan was to keep it low key since I was tired from the travel. I had requested an appointment with Adult Baja. I sent them my request a week in advance, they emailed me each day since to confirm. Granted, I scheduled the girl for 1 hour after I checked in. And after crossing the border, communication was tough until I reached the hotel. Long story short, no girl. To be fair, Adult Baja handled it quite well. The girl just stopped answering her phone. (Her story later that night was she was sick.) Adult Baja offered alternatives and communicated well. So I may try to reschedule.

Off to HK at about 10:30. It was packed. Tough to walk around. Lots of girls, good looking girls. Many 8's, a couple 6's, and a few 10's. I was there for about 3 hours. The girls were not nearly as aggressive as all of my previous visits. The numbers were definitely in their favor. I'm guessing it was 3 to 1, or 4 to 1 - men to women. The crowd and the heat just weren't doing it for me. I had a few tempting propositions for a trio. (They asked $160, I just wasn't feeling it and declined). Went to the bar and got $40 in 1's and spent most of the time grabbing what I liked, which was a lot of fun. Saw one dude get in a pickle. A mesero chased a guy down who grabbed a handful without $1. He argued but eventually tried to give the mesero a dollar. The mesero said no, you must pay her. He did. She snatched it out of his hand. All was well. The chica gave it to the mesero.

Decided to do some window shopping and take a few laps around the block at about 1:30. Numbers were much like I've seen in the past. Plenty to choose from. Lots of familiar faces. I was tired, about to get a taxi and Katia caught my eye. She's cute, a bit petite. Beautiful eyes. I don't think I've seen her before. Couldn't say no but I was running on fumes. Negotiated CBJ. Effort was fantastic. Not a huge fan of CBJ. But if I see her again, I will repeat and probably sample it all.

Looking forward to a few more days here in adult Disneyland.

To StRobert.

The 3 nuts, 3 beers in 3 hours are Travellingman's record.

Due to busy schedule, the Captain sometimes does 3 nuts, 5 beers in 2 hours.

He also had three adobada tacos, I think it could be a tie breaker JK.

[Reinaldo]

I looked into it and it's a pretty good deal, I'm still looking around but I was thinking about using Schwab.

Three nuts, three tacos and three beers all in 3 hours. Life is damn good.

That's the appeals of Tijuana's Zona Norte, where pretty girls, stiff drinks and tasty food are all in 1 small block!

Three nuts in 3 hours! Captain Solo, you are probably 18 or 19 years old. In a later age, it will not be so easy.

Looking for a hotel that has a tantra chair. I think motel Premier is the only one with one. However seeing if anyone has seen something like this at other local hotels or a reclining chair in the suite? Also looking for rates at motel premier, and la mansion? Would like to know if they are by the four hours or by the night too?

Thanks.

I also called Western Union. They said Americans can pick up in Tijuana with a valid passport or drivers license. I hung up the phone and gor on their App to send myself some pesos. The rate looked to good to be true. So I took a second look, and also saw a tax is imposed at pickup. There was no info on the amount of the tax.

It seems most people use Moneygram for sending themselves pesos in Mexico. Could be this tax is why. I'the be very interested in knowing how much this tax is.

I send to Mexico often. I have not seen a tax on the receivers end.

Talk about maximizing your time! LOL.

Not sure junior would go for 3 rounds in 3 hours. It'll be fun as hell to try though! Thanks for the challenge. Hahaha.

John, As much as I wish I had more time on hand, I only had about 3 and a half hours in Tijuana that night!

Hoping to find some more time this holiday weekend but we'll see!
