Alternative transportation? |

Dia de Reyes Nomads and Fernando. Best of luck Sunday. I wish I could join you but I am too far and my boys will kill me if I take them on another 4.5
hour drive non-stop from Bakersfield. My goal next year is to double the donation I made this year. A special thank you to Baja Bound for being so
nice to my kids and I. Fernando you have a golden heart!

Barring unforeseen circumstances, I'm coming too and can help out in any way. I plan to be at the Revolucion station at 9 am.
Fernando - what a wonderful party location - you're awesome!

Leidys and I plan on attending with my video camera!
Only $6/per person ROUND TRIP is WAY CHEAPER than the new Tijuana Taxi prices (yikes!). I'm going Mexicoach from now on.
Kids like Mexicoach Busses! (FdT's and CG's daughters)
The view is better inside of these convertible busses.

Scott 'sd' guards the bicycles at the back of the bus!

Fernando shown working very hard, handing out toys, and making sure none of the children were turned away.

The front of the buses are protected from the elements

No need to worry about rain if you ride in the front rows of the bus which are covered. The entire bus is not convertible - just the rear 3/4ths.

Leo didn't call me back this time, but I've confirmed otherwise that there are 7am and 8am buses out of the Border Station parking lot (San
Ysidro-side) going to the Revolucion station.
Reminder, $6 round-trip per person. Parking at the Border Station lot is $7/day currently fwiw.
