Crossing on 5 at San Ysidro, 1D heading to Cabo
Have a nice picture map indicating taking 5 South, follow 1D bearing right, follow Av Internacional, then Carretera Ensenada-Tijuana still on 1D. If
this is still good, where on this route are the stops for entrance, customs, and to pick up my FMM. If you can keep in in simple terms, I'll figure
it out.
Will be crossing just before daylight hopefully on a Wednesday.
Thanks,
Ken

Yup, that is the route
You can pick up your FMM's either before you get to the customs gates, or immediately after....whichever works better for you. We always stop for the
FMM's before we pass through customs, seems easier for us

Yes, this is the correct route. Stay to the right when I-5 and I-805 merge. You want to be in the far right lane after the sharp right turn to go
along the border. This lane moves the fastest. When the cars turn left to enter the vehicle customs lanes, go straight ahead to the customs building
and turn left into the parking area. Go inside and get your FMM.
Then drive back and nose into the first line of cars of the vehicle customs lanes. After clearing customs, keep right and take the first ramp to the
right. It's clearly signed. You'll be on your way. The first toll station on the toll road is about 5 or 6 miles along the border in Playas de
Tijuana. Stay left when you get close to Playas. Toll was $1.75 dlrs. on Monday. It fluctuates with the value of the peso. You can pay in either
currency.

Yes, stay in the far right "To Declare" lane.
When you park, walk straight through the Aduana (Customs) building. As you exit, the bank will be on your right, make a left and it will be the first
door/ It's a small office with the entrance door outside. If you need pesos, there is an ATM in the Aduana lobby

Last several times, the IMM guy took our money and we did not have to go around the corner to the bank.
