Leaving for BOLA tomorrow
Wifey, Dogs and I are heading down to BOLA en la manana.
The Plan is to drive to Rancho Santa Inez tomorrow and on to the bay Wed. AM.
The truck is packed and I'm ready to go but....
I have not driven across the border in about 10 years! Any last minute advice ? What's the charge for the tourist card these days? How's the
signage for the cuota road?
We don't have a chance to get away very often so we're pretty excited.

Have fun. Border crossing should be a piece of cake. Someone that crosses more than once every two or so years can give you better info about the
rest. Are you crossing at TJ or...?

If you live north of San Diego county, try to get to the border by 6am to avoid the SD morning freeway circus.

And if you get to the border by 6am, I'd drive all the way to BOLA, unless you want to stop at Santa Ines. You should make it with plenty of light.
After you cross the border, you want to be in the lane second from the right. The far right ends up going under the overpass to the cuota/toll road.
After the far right lane has disappeared, you will be faced with merging traffic coming in on the right. Begin signaling as soon as they are next to
you so these people know you want to trade lanes with them. This merging lane ends up being the lane that accesses the toll road in another 50 yards
so dont dilly dally getting over.
If there isnt much traffic, this whole situation is alot easier than it sounds.............
