Wrong again!
WombatEd2 you are correct and as usual most of Clammy reports are wrong or contain inaccurate information.

Wrong again, Clammy! The original question was about keeping one's passport from being stamped. Not about whether CBP does it, but whether it gets stamped, regardless of who does it. And the Mexicans sometimes stamp it upon arrival. (Unless you drive in.).

They may or may not stamp your passport heading into Mexico but they will not stamp it heading into the US.

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.

Foxy's
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.
