About the taxis, I have never had good taxi service in any country that I've visited, except Japan, usually people who are just bad workers in general or have a criminal background end up as taxi drivers in most countries, that's why UBER was such a hit, it isn't the incredible good service that UBER gives, it's the really bad service that taxies give all over the world.

Posts: 6555Year-end crossing into the US
Sunday got down to Tijuana about noon.
PedWest pedestrian line, 4 across, filled the bridge over El Chaparral border crossing.
Did not see the pedestrian line on PedEast, but the line of returning cars backed up into downtown Tijuana.
On the way back at 6 PM, the pedestrian line, Ready and Regular car lanes were backed up to the park. 6 SENTRI lanes were open. It took us only 5 minutes to cross.

The line cutting by Mexicans is awful. I also see it in traffic chokepoints around the border. But I've also seen old gringos do it, skipping the line, claiming they're old and frail, sometimes it works. I read that the new mayor cracked down on the medical pass scam, but apparently not.
The one and only time I did a 3-hour wait was a few years back, and then I went to the trouble of getting Sentri.
Looking forward to less congestion and traffic in January. In the meantime, I'll stick with weekday midday bombing runs.

Posts: 334Thanks Russlell. I was wondering how that worked as I was afraid going through customs ever time it could be a bit embarrassing.

2. Valparaiso Aguas Termales looks like a good thermal bath / massage place. Almost went but looks like you need an appointment for the massage days in advance.
3. Costco; I bought pharmaceuticals at the Tijuana Costco (mostly for the experience); it was weird being in a place so familiar yet so different.
4. San Diego; It's not as convenient but San Diego has Coronado beach (never been to Tijuana beaches), restaurants, Old Town San Diego, etc.
5. Albercas Water Park Vergel. Never been but probably a good summertime option.
6. Plaza Rio Tijuana. Shopping mall and movie theater, never been.
7. Caliente Casino. Never been, I prefer to "waste" my money on putas.

I bring a vibrator every time. Have it in my backpack and run it through scanners without any issue.

Posts: 1483Border crossing disaster and warning
Tried to return by foot Sat. 9 am. El chaparral line all the way to taco stands. Walked to trolley border, line way out to streets, and worst part wasnt moving at all because theirs underground economy of medical passes being sold for 10 bucks person to cut line. Ever 20 seconds you watch another person cutting line with medical pass salesman. I walked back to el chaperal, they can't use medical pass here but every 20 seconds people walk pass with either sentri, or just to cut the line at some point. Mexicans are very laid back in USA cutting line would end in fights no matter what ethnicity you are it's just not permitted. But Mexicans don't even look upset by it. Anyway this is 3 hour wait today.

Posts: 334There are a lot of options Rainman.
Head over to Rio mall and go to a movie in MX. It's a neat experience.
There are a million taco places to check out. El Franc taco's for one.
Mercado Hildago is a great "not so little" market to check out. Food places and more.
Caesar's on Revolution is a must. Great history and very nice ambiance.
Tijuana History Museum (not the cultural museum). It's about 3 blocks from HK and good to walk through and check out the pic's. (take a chica with you to interpret as all context is in Spanish writing).
Dog Race park and casino. Very cool place to watch a few dog races. Bet a little money in bigger casino than typical smaller places around town.
Those are just a few but there are many more.

Posts: 334Busted.
I have a few images of nude chica's on my phone from past mongering and I was showing my mom some other pictures and for some reason. Up pops an image of one. Arg. I quickly swipe to get rid of it saying something jokingly about my Spanish interpreter. Only to have another image of another chica show up. Arrrrrrrg. My folks are not too judgmental and 80+ years old so it was kind of funny but I think I got busted.

Posts: 248More Downtime Options
It would be so nice if there were more to do in Tijuana during your "downtime" Such as a movie theater, shopping mall, gym to workout or even an arcade.
Had planned to spend a large chunk of Sunday afternoon watching NFL football at Azuls sports bar but $4 cans of coke chased me away by halftime of the early games.

Whatever your net worth, it feels bigger in Tijuana than in Del Mar.
In addition, a multi-decade age gap is not frowned upon in Tijuana.
Check out the classic Mexican song "40-20" by Jose Jose, about a 40 yo guy and a 20 yo lady.
