On a social insecurity budget. Not to the USA, I mean much closer to the border. The surgeries I have lined up are going to mean committing to a few
dozen medical appointments.
I want to TRY and head out a first light, cross the border, do the waiting room run-around 20 minutes with a 33 RPM doctor spinning at 78, then head
back, without breaking the bank, and ESPECIALLY avoiding driving in the dark. One of the damned reasons for the surgeries.
Try as I might, I get the willies when i think of trying this from Punta Banda which would be my first choice.
Whew, rent, food, utilities, travel, all on a social security limitation. I would welcome any and all advice and suggestions.chuckie - 2-22-2014 at 05:00 PM
I dont think there is a good solution..many people are facing the same problem.rts551 - 2-22-2014 at 05:03 PM
You might want to subscribe to the Punta Banda Community Bulletin Board........rentals showing up all the time.

Also, many people can make the trip from Punta Banda or Ensenada in one day, before dark.......YMMVBajaBlanca - 2-22-2014 at 05:20 PM
good luck David, you are wise to head further north!DavidE - 2-22-2014 at 05:28 PM
I wanna go home Blanca. I like you and Les and all the nice folks in this area. Eduardo, Celso and I have become good friends. It's going to be
painful, but I am dying on the vine without my family. It rips my heart out when little Dalia starts crying and wails "When are you coming home,
grandpa. Don't you love me any more?"
Tecate is more expensive than the USA. A small and I mean SMALL hovel there rents for 500 dollars a month. Super heavy demand for cross-border
workers. And winters are colder than krap.EnsenadaDr - 2-22-2014 at 05:34 PM
Not so, my friend. I can find you a place in Tecate for $1600 pesos, with a bathroom, shower and two nice sized rooms, and a stove!! Right near a
good friend of mine.David K - 2-22-2014 at 06:23 PM

Dah-veed: this sound like a winner!paranewbi - 2-22-2014 at 06:39 PM
The cold part about Tecate is right...been there for snow. Makes it real hard to down that second margarita at the Diana and eating tacos outside with
gloves on at Pancho's is a bummer after only one margarita.CakedecT - 2-22-2014 at 06:50 PM
We're in El Sauzal. A little north of Ensenada. I usually go up through Tecate. Ninety minutes. A nice drive. Short wait at the border. Thirty minutes
to San Diego
