    I had the honor of working with Officer Butcher. He showed me great professionalism and courtesy.

    Where can I find parking close by the Global Sentri Office on Virginia Way?

    I just parked at the outlet mall across the street and walked.

    Crossing into Tijuana from San Diego was a surprisingly smooth and stress-free experience. We were…read moreexpecting long lines and delays, especially since it's one of the busiest international border crossings in the world, but that wasn't the case at all during our visit. There was virtually no wait to cross, and traffic flowed efficiently thanks to the Mexican officials who were actively directing vehicles and keeping everything organized. Their presence made the process feel well-managed, and it was easy to navigate the lanes without any confusion or congestion. For anyone planning a day trip or weekend getaway to Baja California, this crossing couldn't have been easier. It was a seamless start to our trip and allowed us to get into Tijuana quickly so we could begin exploring without wasting time sitting in traffic. A smooth border crossing definitely set the tone for a great visit to Mexico.

    Going into Tijuana is literally 200 times easier and shorter than trying to return to the United…read moreStates into San Diego. For a safe and secure space for our vehicle we park in the structure on the US side. You get your steps in walking over the bridge to the immigration building but it's fairly a breeze. Another slower option is to catch the trolley both ways. There are two separate lines for Mexican citizens and foreigners(us.) the line on the left can zip through by showing a special card you apply for to enter Tijuana. For the rest of us just go through the turnstile, follow the queue to show the agent your passport and they will insert a printed document slightly larger than your passport. The path to reach the more active and colorful section of Tijuana is A good way to rack up your steps. Lots of walking is involved. Enjoy shopping if something strikes your fancy and become a thirsty sponge for their music, margaritas, tequila, and food. Our strongest beverages there are still bottled water, ice tea or Diet Coke in a large, reputable eatery. Trying to return to the United States is another story. We've been in line over an hour previously but this recent venture took us 3 hours and 45 minutes. Make sure you have a hat, sun glasses and apply sun screen. You're definitely immersed into the local culture, people and their dogs or children trying to exit along side of you in one continuous line forming 4 lanes of pedestrians. Everyone waits patiently in the heat with the sun's rays beating down on you. You can purchase churros, ice cream, popsicles and snacks if street food is your thing as there are vendors, roaming sellers and little convenience like stalls or shops where you must pass. The other alternative is driving over the border but it's anyone's guess which way is faster by foot or vehicle to exit. Luckily no hagglers like decades past. Haven't encountered pick pocketing but there are beggars and homeless you'll encounter. Not for the faint of heart. I saw one man in a wheel chair being rushed by a uniformed person through security with an ambulance waiting for him. Next I saw he was on a gurney and looked barely alive. If you are mobility challenged don't hesitate, if you have a walker or wheelchair bring it and use it.
