[QUOTE=WanderingMan;1645924]I am working in the San Diego area over the Thanksgiving holiday and am thinking about going to Tijuana. I don't care for turkey and some village near the area is famous for lobster. Are the girls around the area on Thanksgiving? I realize it's not a Mexican holiday but didn't know if the girls went home that week because of a slow down.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Just another weekend / and Thursday! No effect on Chicas! They KNOW it is a major Holiday in the USA. Well did we know that yesterday was a Major Holiday in Mexico? Revolution Day! Does not effect us. So we probably don't care! Thanksgiving in the boarder towns with family in the USA, there might be a lot of BORDER activity on Wednesday night and Friday and Sunday, those visiting friends and Family in the USA. Oh BTW. I will and have for the past 3 years, be bringing my Favorite and her puta amigas Pavo and trimmings for comida on Thursday. (they know it and have asked me about it already!) My Tijuana "family is WAY more important to me than my "actual" family! Jajaja.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Actually Thanksgiving starts the busiest part of the year for the Zona. Many of the chicas go to their home towns for Navidad so starting around Thanksgiving they work crazy hours so they can earn enough to pay for presents, airfare, etc. Up until the 3rd week of December. Then availability declines dramatically until about the 2nd week of January.

Sorry for the silly question. In regards to the ready line. What is the best approach? I have had the passport card for several years and had no idea I could use the shorter ready line and found out by mistake on my last trip once I was up to the main building going back.

For example when the normal line is backed up a mile are we good to walk around all that head for the ready line? And where does it begin in such a situation and how is it marked? Not a newbie to Tijuana but have been totally ignorant of the ready line and using my passport card to use it is new to me. I just never noticed it before.

Thanks.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]I am assuming that you're talking about the pedestrian lines and not the car lines.

When the general pedestrian line is all backed up, the general line will spill over into the lanes marked "Ready / Sentri. " In this case, the only way to get up to the front into the Ready / Sentri lanes is to walk in the lane where people are entering Mexico going the opposite of the way you are trying to go. So, you are sort of walking against the flow of people like Salmon until you get up near the front of the big mass of people. Near the front of the huge mass of people, sort of closer to the building itself, the general line doesn't spill over into the Ready / Sentri lanes because there are guards there that you have to show your credentials to if you want to get into those speedier lines. This is the place you need to work your way up to if you have a Global Entry card or Ready / Sentri card.

Public Service Announcement: Don't forget to read this post if you're ever even thinking about getting a room at Hotel Cascadas in the Zona (to avoid their scam): http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?2231-Hong-Kong-Club-Reports&p=1627367&viewfull=1#post1627367

If the lines are backed up. You should notice 2 lines on the sidewalk next to the businesses. The one closer to the stores is for the ready lane and the one closer to the road is the general line. If there is nobody waiting in the ready lane you should be able to walk on the sidewalk between the general line and the stores right up to the turnstyle. This is Mexico so the signage is not that great.

As Ultra Happy stated if you have a sentry card or need the handicap line the best approach is to walk upstream against the people coming into Mexico, and head straight for the POE building.

Factoids from my Tijuana weekend Sat. & Sun. Had only 1 sexo experience (I spent most of my time betting on football games) with a MILF (30's) close to Hong Kong. She gave me a culo finger wave while doing a covered blowjob. The BJ wasn't that good.

I saw several white American gals on the streets. Most looked pretty ragged and worn out, but one blonde looked pretty good. She was wearing some fishnet black stockings. I should of jumped on the opportunity cause when I came back later she was gone.

Crossed the border at 4:15 am on Monday. Took 40 min. In general public line. A buddy of mine drove across at 4 pm Sat. Took him 2 HR.

For old farts like me the senior fare on the trolley is $1. 25 one way. Enjoyed the Mexican food.

[QUOTE=BayBoy;1646834]The exchange rate at most places was 13.1 pesos to the dollar.[/QUOTE]When did you get this rate? I was there on Sunday and even IN the Zona the rate was 13.15 to $1. At the trolley station at 10:00 am it was 13.44 to $1 at the McDonalds! Almost ALWAYS BUY the pesos IN the USA! (In Mexico/ Be carefull when Selling your pesos to $, the exchange says no commission but they charge you a different rate than posted at most places.)

I am walking across the border on Saturday for a 10 AM flight out of San Diego International Airport. I have a SENTRI card and am wondering when is a safe time to cross, catch the trolley /922 bus and make it there by 8:30 or so.

Thanks

10 am flight. 6 am or even ven 6:30 am would be ok if you have a sentri card. I've even left a 5 am for a 8:30 flight without a sentri card on a Sunday morning.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Once you get on the trolley you need at least 1 1/2 hours to get to the airport from San Ysidro by public transportation. You need to figure in the wait time for the trolley once you cross the border and for the bus connection at America Plaza.

[QUOTE=BayBoy;1646834]The exchange rate at most places was 13.1 pesos to the dollar.[/QUOTE]I got 13.45 before I entered the border today.

I've done price shopping and in my opinion, the money exchange next to the train / mc Donald's at the border gives the best rate. Any one else have a better place?

[/QUOTE]Yeah my experience in Tijuana was similar--aren't there any petite young girls? I don't want to pay $80 for a cougar.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I had a 10:00 am flight two weeks ago on a Friday. I left at 6:00 am (after a 5:30 quickie). I gave myself extra time because I had to stop at the USO to pickup my suitcase. I still had almost two hours to kill before the flight. Three hours should be plenty of time to be at the airport one hour before your flight, It took me less than 30 minutes from Cascadas to the trolley. With the SENTRI card there is no waiting in line, just walk past everyone until you get to the SENTRI entrance at the boarder. When you make airline reservations, be sure to enter you SENTRI number so you will be pre screened (less waiting for airport security).
