Any Sentri reports this week?
Hearing Sentri was 2 hour wait at San Ysidro the other day.
Spring Break, Semana Santa, and Brussels terrorism the cause.
Any reports? I wanted to do a beach day Sunday but not if Sentri will be 2 hours.
Gracias.

Crossing times always lengthen after a terrorist bombing. It's because agents are instructed to be extra vigilant. So figure twice the normal
waiting time the first day or two after an incident. If nothing happens before Monday, waiting times should be back to normal, but that could be
close to an hour on Easter Sunday afternoon in the Sentri lanes at San Ysidro.

Hmm interesting... Curious if Easter will be a little less hectic than your regular Sunday.
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

I crossed yesterday around 11:00am through the San Yisdro border, it took 20 minutes with my Sentri pass... I had friends who said they waited 4 hours
yesterday with no Sentri pass.

..and don't forget that when heading into Mexico at the Chapparal crossing is possibly going to be a problemafter Monday . The far right exit that
crosses over the river to connect with road to Playas, Rosarito and Ensenada will be closed while it is being demolished and a new bridge built, Not
sure where the detor will take you in TJ.

On Monday morning I saw an electronic sign that said the C. Internacional (the road that goes along the border to the beginning of the toll road) is
closed and directs traffic to the Zona Río and Paseo de los Heroes. This means staying in the two left lanes after clearing customs. Watch for the
overhead sign before the second roundabout and follow the old highway to Rosarito. There's a final hitch where the old highway intersects the toll
road. The normal southbound on ramp is closed due to bridge construction. It's necessary to make a funky U-turn before the stoplight and then the
first right into the southbound on ramp.
An alternative is to follow the Centro sign after clearing custom (again the two left lanes) and then use Third Street and then Second Street to go
over the hill and on to Playas de Tijuana. Second and Third Streets are one-way in downtown Tijuana. Playas de Tijuana can also be accessed by using
the toll road from Rosarito.

I live in Playas and cross every day. Ave International towards the border was closed this morning 3/29 at 02:30 and the detour routes you up
Constitution, right past the Zona Norte clubs, to 2nd.
I fear the trip home tonight. I plan to take Ocampo to 5th and cross through Centro then jump down to 2nd.
What is usually a quick ride home is going to become a nightmare.

The highway along the border fence is closed? Say it ain't so. If so, for how long? Anybody know?

MX is saying Ave International closed for 10 days starting 3/28 Of course it will probably be a little longer. I may stay on the US side a whole lot

Rats....I'm supposed to speak at noon, at a conference at the TJ Marriott Saturday, re legalizing marijuana.
(Last year the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that individuals could -in some cases- use marijuana for personal use, particularly medical related, and an
organization in Baja wants to know how we have done things in California to begin the medical and legalization process.)
So... now I'm wondering if driving down on Saturday will be a PITA... and I have 2 other events in San Diego later that day.
Rats indeed...

Yeah, be sure to use California as an example of what NOT to do
