Everytime we have gone through it has been "different" but "the same". We just plan on dealing with whatever occurs at the moment wheather it be a smile or $$. We always carry lots of 1 dollar bills. Nancy

for me duty free stores are for when you are returning to USA - not leaving it.
sorry - don't get it.


I understand what you're saying, Mike, but the DF stores at the border are for Mexico entry traffic only, but.....I know you know that. Some others may not.


in 2004 we went to the DT free store in SY.
the "drill" was we paid then had to walk a path to cross into mexico [or maybe we were there?] and then had to do the total walk back into the US to "clear" in - what a ROYAL pain!
it took an hour or more and a very long boring walk carrying the goods.

i won't ever do that again to save a few bucks on booze.
we were on a lunch break from our office in bonita. some one came up with the idea and that we would also get some street tacos before we crossed back in.

That would be a "balero." The ball-and-cup is for wuzzes, the stick-and-barrel is for the real aficionados.




There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

How many cases of Chiclet's can I bring Southbound? JK!

Yeah, I used to always buy beer at Costco in the US and bring south. Just liked having everything packed up and ready to go though lately I've just been buying beer, water, gatorade, booze in El Rosario.
