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.


Currently, my plan is to stay at the Motel 6 in Chula Vista (Calle Primera Ave) - Eat Breakfast at the Dennys on Calle Primera. Then, book it to the Iris Ave. station to catch the 8:02 AM trolley. If anyone is planning to eat breakfast at the Dennys at Calle Primera in San Ysidro, I'll be there with Leidys.

If any Nomads happen upon us at the Denny's - this is our picture.

I just confirmed with Leo and the price for Mexicoach roundtrip tomorrow will be only $5 (five) dollars and the first bus is at 8am. The 7 am is the bus that leaves Tijuana going to San Ysidro to be the 8am bus to Tijuana. Parking is $7.

I called the SY/Border Station office again just now, and they are now telling me the above... 8am first bus; $5 round trip.

Getting the car loaded again with all the gifts (275 of them) wrapped up



After all those gifts, only 2 small bikes fit in the car so a pick up truck came to load the other 13 bikes

Ladies said, "Oh Boy, Ya coloquaron las fotos...VERY FAST!"


Ladies and I had a great time in Tijuana - we were AMAZED by the beautiful neighborhood (via MEXICOACH) that we toured near the new CALIENTE CASINO. Beverly Hills/Brentwood in Tijuana?? WHERE CAN I SIGN UP!?!:bounce:


The location that Fernando picked was FIRST CLASS! I loved it, and I'm sure the kids loved it as well. Best of all, the weather held up all day - cloudy skies, but NO MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION! YEA! :bounce:
