How considerate and ignorant of you to express yourself so eloquently!! Always look forward to your stalking of my posts. You still lack a life, don't you?

The have legal casinos and legal city-licensed sex workers. You'd think those two together would give someone ideas... "Catch something closer to home next vacation... visit TJ?" "Lose you cherry and hit the jackpot in TJ"... Lot's of potential. If they lower the age of consent they will capture the we-used-to-go-to-Thailand crowd- they have passports.

Does stimulating tourists mean the same as stimulating tourism?

Boy I'm at a real disadvantage not being able to spell.. some here even see mistakes with apostrophes ... now that really scared me back to 8th grade English and my Mrs Martin ... was up to 25,000 times apiece on my spelling words.. she was a really nice lady.. she did her best to help me, but I was and still am a lost cause when it comes to the English... no any language.. if it were not for the built in spell check.... well.. it would be brutal ... just gawd awful..

I guess I could take into Word for grammar and spelling, but what the hell.. I'm to old and Mrs. Martin is not around ... :):)

Woooosh, you have outdone yourself with this one... what a great idea.. the cost of the flight, time in the air... it could all be spent in TJ, one could fly into TJ and take a taxi..

You should bring it up at the next City Consuls Meeting in Rosarito :lol::lol:

But, you have got to give me a heads up so I can set up... I will split the money I win from the Worlds Funniest Video's..

Hey- it worked for Vegas! There's already a "Jackpot" casino in the Home Depot Walmart shopping center. The hookers will find you at your machine- don't worry about that. Torres built that long pier hoping casino ships would dock there for day gambling-boat trips. The will and pieces are there already. I do think Hank Rhon would have a serious problem with any major Rosarito competition to his Agua Caliente TJ casino and private zoo. No one wants to go up against him (or his TJ Mayor-candidate wife).

Could have worked had he built a breakwater. Like most Mexican projects....Bathrooms without plumbing, second stories without stairs, roads without shoulders....the list is endless.

It's OK, they called it off.


This article says that Mexico will NOT be requiring Americans entering Baja to show their passports. The reasons are exactly as we already figured out: (1) They don't have the infrastructure to accommodate checking everybody for passports at the border, and (2) they acknowledge that the US travel rules require Americans to show their passports when reentering the US, so they should be carrying them on the way in to Mexico.

Marcha atrás: No pedirán pasaportes en BC

Escrito por AFN el Febrero 15, 2010 en Internacional
13:30 horas.-TIJUANA BC 15 de febrero de 2010 (AFN).- Baja California quedó totalmente excluida de la medida que obliga a solicitar pasaportes a extranjeros que ingresan a México, informó el Delegado del Instituto Nacional de Migración en la entidad, Francisco Javier Reynoso Nuño.

Explicó que la infraestructura no es la adecuada para instrumentar una medida de esta naturaleza, por lo que la situación seguirá exactamente igual a como se está aplicando hasta ahora. Sólo tendrá vigencia en aquellos puntos como el de San Emeterio, por el que los extranjeros ingresan para internarse más allá de la zona fronteriza.
En el caso de los estadounidenses no se considera pedir pasaportes porque se entiende que llevan consigo esos documentos que su propio país les exige para retornar a su territorio.

Recientemente el gobernador José Guadalupe Osuna Millán se manifestó totalmente de acuerdo con esta medida federal, argumentando que cuando viaja a él le piden su pasaporte en todos los países.

Reynoso Nuño encabezó una conferencia de prensa esta tarde en el Centro de Gobierno de la ciudad, junto con el Secretario de Turismo Óscar Escobedo Carignan.

I'm watching Puerto Nuevo update their facilities. Burying elecrical and telephone lines, adding street lamps and paving streets. Of course, the streets were done first so now they're cutting up the pavement to bury the electric. :rolleyes:

In reference to the original post, please see my original answer..it falls into the cataogory of " I told ya so"

Returned yesterday from Rosarito, perfect weather, nice surf, no crowds, 40 minute border wait, Only complaint was the terrible roadwork in Primo Tapia...I know it will be nice when it's done but it sure sucks now...It must have been a real bear when it rained...




Mexico!! Where two can live as cheaply as one.....but it costs twice as much.....
