At this point, zona is just street girls, escorts, and hk girls that as we know are expensive unreliable, not GFE, . Miss the good old days.

First, I guess I'll post a review in the Tropical forum but I went there this weekend and was not disappointed!

Second, crossing back on foot, twice this weekend. The longest wait was Saturday morning, about 9 AM. And that wait was about 15 minutes. So I would not assume that it is a 2 hour wait every time. The crossing times have been all over the place lately. But, the longest I've had to wait was an hour and a half, and that was because the systems were down.

Monday Tuesday there are coupons for 2 free beers. Therea also. BUy 1 get 1 free coupons for the other days. VIP card givea you a free drink every 12 hours. I've had about 20 beers in the states in the last year and a half and probably 300 in Mexico. Once the beer is free or 1 dollar on revolution I cant pay 7 dollars a beer at us bars anymore

Is there no service charge? Thailand banks take $8 a transaction and then my bank takes $5. Every time I withdraw its $13 so if I do multiple in a day it gets expensive.

Heck, you could say a few hours and they might waive you through without even looking at your passport, especially later at night.

If you are worried about a 7 day trip for a dental appointment, tell them you will need a follow up appointment after your procedure. I don't think they will ask you these additional questions, they just want your $. When returning to the US, you should't have a problem with our border officers. They usually just ask about the purpose of your trip to Mexico and if you are bringing back anything to declare. Enjoy your trip.

Do you think the USA Border officers will give me a difficult time when I try to cross back into the USA? Or will they not make a big deal about it?

RTFF. This question had been answered numerous times. All it takes is a quick search.

No but prepare yourself for an insane amount of time in line to reenter the USA whether by car or on foot if you don't have Sentri.

I'm not discounting Dodgers experience but I can promise you they are not forcing everyone to buy it.

Last Saturday a gringo forgot his that he. Bought the day before. They made him buy another one. Much of Mexico is. Based on what's good for me and my group. Border patrol wants money even if it hurts local business. Just like the police let people sell medical passes to walk back to USA cut line. That turns a 45 minute line into almost 2 hours if you don't pay. If one er get a passport I'll have to get Sentri soon after before I get into a fight because if someone cuts the line, being from the east coast of usa, it's a problem and will lead to a fight. But the whole mexican line is cutting. People just walk and find someone they know and cut you. Medical pass cutters. Sentri. Its a bad situation right now with the border trying to get back. Don't return in the morning expecting to catch a flight it could be 2 hours and if something goes wrong could turn to 3 hpurs.

The only way you can social distance a hooker is if you go doggy and have a very long dick.

I have never had to do a FMM for Tijuana, Ensenada etc. Only if you go way south of the border are you required I believe.

For Tijuana I normally fill out the FMM online through the following link as then you don't need to fill it out there waiting for others before you etc. The crossing is called El Chapparal.

Goyo.
