I'm sure I can find them in SY, but it makes it hard to plan something together.

Ok, we've stoped for the day, we'll continue the toy smuggling mañana.
I don't know about the Mexicoach number in the US side but their phone in Tijuana does work, I spoke with them yesterday but I tried calling today and no answer. I will call them tomorrow.
There is no need for you to go to San Ysidro, I will let you know by tomorrow.
As for planning, plan to be at the Border parking by 8 / 8:30am on sunday.

This would be a great time to let me know who all is attending. I know that friends of Ford are attending and they are 4 adults and 4 children, BajaNomad is 2 adults one child (young man). I think sd is he and his daughter but I'm not sure if her boyfriend is attending or any of sd's friends. I know Ford is also attending with his family but I don't know how many you are, I see 3 children on the picture with the toys.
Anyone else? We have plenty of room, there will be plenty of food and it will be a great experience, not counting the tour you will be receiving.
Thank you all for your help and support on this and all past toy drives, I must say, from my point of view, they have all been very different, with this one even having our van confiscated. I guess that when you do anything for so long you run into so many different circumstances and since we're not interested in quitting we must have just gotten stronger.

Make that 4 adults and two young men. Also, expecting another couple to meet us at the Mexicoach location on Revolucion.

Mexicoach buses in San Ysidro leave on the hour every hour - wherever they're leaving from, that is.

My Daughter Sara recently moved from Long Beach to Denver, but Green Bay is her team. I think she will now be favoring Denver. She will enjoy the banter, looking forward to see everyone.

Mexicoach leaves from Border Station parking lot at 8:30am, please plan to be there by 8am so you can all ride together.
Also, that way you can avoid fights between the Broncos and 49ers coming.

Mexicoach leaves every hour from the Border Station parking in San Ysidro, starting at 4:30am. Take the 8:30 am bus to the Revolucion avenue station and we'll meet you all there.
Mexicoach is NOT sponsoring us this year so we will be renting other buses to go on the toy drive.
It just keeps getting better!
