Just ordered an egift card from Toys R Us to be sent to your email address. It can be printed and redeemed in a store. If you are under time
constraints then you can forward the egift card email to someone else who is able to do the shopping.
Sorry for last minute.
Thanks for all your good work. Look forward to seeing the happy faces once pics are posted of the event.

Sorry FdT, but I wanted to attend this weekend with my Wife. We are having logistics issues with no Internet at the moment and my not wanting to walk
across the linea with $1250 in camera gear. We will attend next year.

here is another option. it's called greendot and i'm getting mine at walgreens. you buy the card and u2u the pin number to Ferna. he loads it to his
account and doesn't have to hassle with getting toys past the border 2 at a time. he also needs $ for the tamales and dulces for the ninos.
i'm in for $50 tomorrow.
edit: oooopps! i guess i should read the entire thread!

We are scheluded to meet at the Mexicoach terminal at 9AM on Sunday the 16th. Please tell me who is coming. We have 2 buses lined up because of the
ammount of children involved and we get to pick most of them up. there is plenty of room and food for any Nomads that want to attend the event. it's
going to be a lot of fun.

Just heard from fdt - we're meeting at 9am
at the Mexicoach station in Tijuana on Av. Revolucion between 6th & 7th - and going straight from there to pick up the kids.
Is there anyone else going that would want to meet up before crossing? Thought we might drive or walk across, but am now thinking to just take the
Mexicoach from San Ysidro back and forth. Uncertain of their morning schedule right now - haven't looked it up yet.

I did that last night and it's super easy. I purchased mine at Rite Aid for $20.

There will be three of us attending. Myself, my daughter Sara and her boyfriend Jesse. I have attended the past two years, and Sara came with me last
year. We park on the US side, take the bus at the parking area and go through the border crossing. From there the bus takes us directly to the Tijuana
bus station where we meet the Baja Nomad group.
It's easy and inexpensive.
On the return the bus drops us off and we walk back to the US side.
It is great fun and once again I wish to extend my thanks to all that contribute to make this event happen for the kids.

I will be there.....with possibly two other guests.
Doug and Scot - let me know what your plans are. I think we will probably park in San Ysidro and take the bus as well. Mexicoach does not seem to show
the times on their website however....

I just talked on the phone to Leo of Mexicoach in San Ysidro. Said
he'd have a bus there for a 8am departure for us Sunday at the Border Station parking lot. This will be our planned way of getting there Sunday.
$6 round-trip/each.
If you miss that departure, the next one isn't until 9am. Would then need to walk across and take a taxi libre/economico/etc.
