hrs.) out of the many times I have crossed there. They were on a Sunday afternoon or a Monday of a 3 day weekend... so AVOID those times to come home
if at all possible.
That said, I am going to Baja far less often because of the economy, but the possible wait time is becoming a bigger deterrent for us. It just seems
that the government in charge now puts serving the (traveling) people at the bottom of its priorities.
I love Baja so much, but anything longer than 2 hours, after all the 'upgrades' they have been bragging about put in recently, is nutz.

Same here David---used to three and four day trips on a whim (5pm Friday: "Hey Steve, What're you doing this weekend?" "Nothing." "Let's go to
Mex." "Okay!").
But now the whip of the bordermaster is blazened into my psyche and I have to make longer trips but much less frequently.... |
