Really, there's nothing like a nice park and then a lengthy chainlink fence with men in green hovering around in their big trucks 24-7. Nothing. I remember the days when you didn't exist (that's right, there once was a time when there was no fence, just a river and small ditches with eddys of death). Those eddys of death are still there, of course. But since you've gone up, things have just not been the same. Of course, I was about 8 when this happened, but I remember it like it was yesterday. A huge fence, with a hole where one of the doors should have been. "Are they just trying to make sure everybody goes through that one door?" I asked my mom. Since then, there are no more illegals hiding in the bushes in the front yard of the house. No more illegals knocking on my door asking for money for the bus. No more dodging illegals on the Border Highway who were trying to outrun the "migra." Oh, those were the days. And now they want to replace part of you with a wall. What is the world coming to? Is this the end of us -- me and you -- beloved border fence?

I thoroughly enjoyed the El Paso Mission trail and making each stop along the route. The best stop…read moreby far is San Elizario. I suggest stopping here first and starting at 10:00am when the museum and church open. Not only is this the most scenic and peaceful stop, it offers the most interactive experience of all the nearby missions. Oscar was working the museum on the morning that we stopped and he treated us to a great walking tour and provided local history. He is an oral historian and does a great job of informing visitors of area history as well as culture. Stop in and ask for him. He walked us around the museum and down the nearby streets to give us a tour of the prison and local establishments. I'd say you should plan on being at San Elizario for 1-2 hours to enjoy everything that the area has to offer. Once you've toured, you'll want to hit the local coffee shop known as Cafe Arte di Admore. Amazing coffee, sandwiches, and pastries. The owner even makes all the art on display. You should definitely check out my review for more info on that. Socorro and Ysleta are the other two missions and certainly worth seeing. However, they are in much more bustling areas and will not require the same amount of time. I'd say you can safely plan on 15 minutes at each of these thus making the entire experience about a half day commitment. Please have fun and enjoy!

I agree with the first reviewer that this Mission Trail is essential for those who want to learn…read moremore about the history of El Paso and the Borderland. I managed to stop at each mission/chapel on my drive back to Arizona to read the plaques, walk around the plazas, and take in some spirituality. Even on an abbreviated schedule, this took me two hours. Unlike the missions of San Antonio, these three missions are best done by car, due to the heavy traffic along the border and the narrow road of travel. All three are well-maintained, but opening hours may vary despite them being posted. All three are within seven miles and the road is well-marked. It's journey is best done from the south, starting with the Elizario chapel and then continuing to Socorro and then Ysleta. The Elizario complex is the most quiet one, away from main traffic or large buildings. A gate prevents vehicular traffic in front of the chapel. A lot of blackbirds like to gather in the trees in the plaza, so watch for bird bombs! The Socorro mission has a large parking area. Getting in and out of this one is easy, but again, watch out for traffic when getting back on the road. There is a somber memorial to the Gutierrez family in the back of the mission. Watch out for two very vicious chihuahuas across the dirt path, too. They like to annoy passers-by. The Ysleta mission is in the most congested area of the three. It's on the Tigua Reservation and a major road is between the parking lot and mission. It's loud and active. The noise can be disturbing. This one is also surveilled by camera and a guard shack. Take the time to read the historical signs, enter the churches and take in some self-reflection when walking through these three complexes. The Ysleta mission is the oldest of the three, yet also one of the busiests.

Every TSA agent that wanted to say something to someone, looked them in the eye and in a normal and respectful tone, said it. I believe that the TSA agents are a good representation of the average personality in that area. I'd like to come back. Yesterday we walked 3 miles for dinner. The roads were clean. Drivers were respectful. Everyone we spoke to was polite. Love it!

Check in was pretty quick and I was assigned to a ground floor room by the entrance of the parking lot. Overall it was a nice room but the door was really stuck so I had to shove it to get it open. The entire room smelled like sunscreen so that was really distracting. I didn't get used to it at all. I was surprised at how much room was available which included not only the bed and a desk but a table and chair set as well. The bathroom was really large and I noticed that when I went into the bathroom and shut the door, I couldn't hear any noise from the highway. I thought that was funny because I kept waking up in the night due to the constant flow of traffic. I was disappointed with the breakfast options the following morning. There was no hot food other than the waffles which you had to make yourself. There were some frozen breakfast sandwiches but you had to microwave them. Otherwise it was just dry goods like bread, cereal, and fruit. When I checked out I handed my room key to the person at the desk and they just shrugged and said "ok". Well, that was easy. I might stay here again if I was in the area but it's not located in the most convenient place. There are a handful of larger hotels less than a mile down the highway that are really close to food, gas, and shopping.

ve been living El Paso since 1981 same place on Eastside. The reason I write this is after all…read morethese years living in this town I have never had such unpleasant experiences with the a locally owned business as I did at Westside Suntravel. I'm surprised the president of this company, Mr. Paul Corman, will allow these things to occur. I've visited and spent much money with Westside SunTravel before, but never had any unpleasant experiences. I've been dealing with them for a longtime but never had to dear with such unspeakable, selfish people Who had no common courtesy to their clients needs..we canceled all our Travel with them & ask for our copy of our passport and credit card back. This was at Eastside SunTrevor located at 1718 N. Zaragoza. My neighbor & I had an appointment with one of the agents at that place. On 31st of October at 10:AM to pay the Downpayment that we've been talking about for our trip. The problem was when we were conducting business at their office about a one hour later I needed to go to the restroom. So I asked them & They said their restroom is only for the Employees going as far to tell me to go to the next door to Popeyes or theother side insurance company's restroom. I couldn't believe what I was hearing... I even asked to see the manager & explained it to-her that I'm Elderly person my bladder is not dependable as it used to be therefore I need to go now.. but they wouldn't give it up still want me to go to next door... keep saying it's their policy. Most of us, when the time comes to go you have to go ... I couldn't believe what was happening. I have been with SunTravel before but never experienced anything like it.... The reason we went to the Eastside, we live close to buy it. It only takes five minutes to get there. So instead of driving way out to the west side since it's the same company we never expected anything like this... What upsets me was that they didn't have the simple common decency of allowing their clients who is elderly need to use a restroom. I don't think the president of this company Mr.Paul Corman, will never allow it something like this. Anyway, next morning on Friday the November 1st, at 9 AM I called Westside wanted to talk to Mr. Corman, but they told me he's not in so I asked for the manager and manager who's name is Ann, came on when I explained what happened she sounded like she's not surprised and she said it's their contract whatever that means... but I told her that I want Mr. Coleman to know what is going on out there and then she said that she will let him know. There is no response whatsoever from them. But I want people of El Paso to know that's how they conduct their business. The way I see it, if they don't want anybody to use their restroom, they shouldn't be having business in the public first place.
