I'm in the jet at Seatac. 20min from drop off, precheck and to the gate. Easy.

Did you get the free 7 day card and if you did, did they stamp your passport and alert you that it must be returned to them (or any INM) when you leave?

If yes, the Tecate INM is not hard to get to then go to the end of the line for the U.S.

When we have taken visitors to San Ysidro INM for their "free" FMM's, sometimes they stamp the passport, sometime they don't. Never heard anyone at INM tell our visitors they must return the 7 day document

Finally made it. Got to Hotel La Villa at about 7:30pm.
Long day.
Lots of traffic on the highway. Torn up from Santo Tomas to San Vincente. Slow going.
Otherwise no issues.
Beautiful day.

Hi Nomads!
Was at my place today. Wow
Been super busy with details.
Will fill in the blanks and post a few photos in while.

Hi all. Still in San Quintin.
Put myself on Standard Mexico time by getting a flat in my little rental car.
By the time I got it fixed and went back to the bay to find my hub cap, I couldn't make it back for check out time. So I stayed the day.
Sunny and breezy about 70. Very warm in the sun and out of the breeze.

Ok. At the Motel 6 by San Diego airport. What a trip.
I took some good pictures and will post them in a bit. I couldn't get photobucket to work when I was in San Quintin.
Weather was perfect. Didn't get rain until the border.
About an 1:15 to get across. Not bad.
A very good trip. Didn't want to leave. A bit of a whirlwind but I like doing that sometimes.
Looking forward to the day when I'm down there with no real schedule to keep.

Yes, I got the free card. Stamped it and my passport. He ask me how long I was staying. I said 1 week. Stamp, stamp and off I went.

So, you're back! Did they say anything about returning the free FMM?
Did you get up to North County at all?

No mention of returning returning the FMM.

I barely made it to the Motel 6. I left San Quintin this morning at 6 and spent about 2-3 hours in Ensenada taking care of legal stuff.
A long day.

A short ride from my place to the oceanfront for some raw Pacific beauty. Pacific surf crashing on black volcanic rock.
San Martin island in the background Also a volcano.
