But I've driven across to Nuevo Laredo when I lived in San Antonio and driven into Canada twice - all before 9/11 - and still had to stop and show my driver's license and car registration both ways. Ah, well. It's a new day!! I'll be using my travel smarts that have kept me from being the million-dollar cab ride victim, so far. Cartels are just mobters by another name. They really aren't interested in harming tourists. They just won't tolerate anybody getting in the way of their business. I don't plan on getting into their business, so they're not much of a threat to me so long as I watch and don't cross paths where somebody IS getting into their business.<br />travelingeezershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06026465559588735174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248340378175360039.post-90138658164289352712015-10-06T22:02:02.767-07:002015-10-06T22:02:02.767-07:00Wow Beth I guess I took for granted that you don&#...Wow Beth I guess I took for granted that you don't really cross the border much in Florida! When you were talking about the border crossing into Mexico I kind of laughed because I thought you were joking. Crossing into Mexico has never been a big deal -- but going the other way back to the U.S. is another story. I have only driven across the border a few times -- and when you walk across, you go through this one-way revolving door and no one is standing there, no one cares that you crossed -- just don't try to come back without jumping through many hoops. I haven't been to Tecate in years but the border crossing there is like a frontier town -- 2 lanes. Glad you got Mexico cell service so you were able to use your GPS -- that would be kind of scary! Yes they drive crazy and pedestrians just walk out into the middle of the street and don't care about right of way. The last time we drove across the border was to volunteer at an orphanage. My ex-father-in-law drove us in his huge vehicle and said "Oh I don't need any Mexican insurance!" ARRGGH I was a captive audience. He had no idea where we were going and we had a 19 yr old girl who came with my ex-sis in law, who had never been in Mexico before, and she was our navigator! It was a harrowing experience. Please be careful and stay in the populated areas -- as there are some not-so-great elements, and kidnapers and some of the drug cartels. Not a joke -- but mostly they target other Mexicans (sadly some innocent people too). Will be thinking of Bruce and glad his dental work will be done tomorrow so you can go to the zoo! The wait time at the border varies - you can look here for border wait times https://apps.cbp.gov/bwt/mobile.asp?action=n&pn=2506 Usually Otay has a shorter wait than San Ysidro. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
