    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.

    If you're crossing at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, here's the deal…read more 1.) When traffic gets crazy and the cops block off random streets, your GPS will absolutely lose its mind. Stop listening to it. Just find the end of the line of cars and get in. Otherwise you'll spend half your day doing scenic laps around Tijuana because your app thinks it's smarter than reality. 2.) Make sure you have gas before getting into this line. 3.) Download some shows or movies ahead of time. The wait can drag, and cell service isn't exactly reliable out there. 4.) Bring a little cash too, there are vendors walking around selling snacks and drinks. 5.) Just.....be mindful of your stomach. This is not the place to realize you made questionable food choices. Bathrooms are basically a rumor. 6.) Also, a big one: please don't buy the puppies. They're adorable, yes, but buying them keeps a really ugly breeding situation going, and the conditions the parent dogs are kept in are anyone's guess. You might feel like you're "saving" a puppy by buying it, but as long as people keep purchasing them, these breeders will keep producing dogs in grim, often inhumane conditions. If we collectively stop buying from them, the cycle finally breaks. We saw some really young puppies :( look too young to be separated from mom. Puppies being sold at the border are often far too young to be separated from their mothers. Responsible breeders and veterinarians agree that puppies should stay with their mom and littermates until at least 8 weeks old. Taking them earlier can cause lifelong health and behavior problems. When you buy an underage puppy, you're supporting practices that put the animals at risk. Please choose not to purchase these puppies. The wait itself isn't that bad if you've got some good music or something downloaded to watch. As long as you go in prepared, you'll be fine. Our wait was only 2.5 hours on a Sunday, we arrived in line at 4pm

    To return to the United States this port needs to improve their station because there are 20 lanes…read more It should be US citizens in one line to exit and foreigners in another line same as when you enter. Amazing how patient, children, babies, pets and adults are to wait 3+ hours to exit Tijuana into the United States. The line snaked into four lines. You'll see children selling woven flowers, mothers with infants walking up and down the lines selling snacks. There was a churro man going back and forth. Also blind or others saying chiclets, selling gum. Many people in line bought cold refreshments like popsicles, ice cream or granita looking cold treats. Happy to be back in the United States.

    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.

Many years ago, when I went to college in San Diego, I crossed the border twice: once on a bus when we went camping with the Biology Club, and once when we rode on the trolley to Tijuana! Now, I can say that I walked and crossed into another country! It was rather simple - and coming back into the USA wasn't too bad either... Except for the long line. I think we waited in line for about an hour? I was able to spend the rest of my pesos (and some of my friends' pesos) on a few souvenirs. Too bad there were no postcards. I should have looked earlier while we were in Downtown Tijuana... Next time!
