Posts: 66I know it's not a Mexico holiday, but how busy do you think it will be down there during the 4th of July holiday? With the weather finally warm, and with it being a 4 day weekend for a lot of people. I'm guessing it might be a busier than normal weekend down there. I was originally planning on going up to Yosemite during the 4th with some friends, but my friend's RV is having some engine problems. So we may not end up going now. So now I'm thinking of making another solo trip down to TJ. I've only really been down in the Zone Norte area, but I want to start exploring outside of that now. How is the beach action down in TJ? Is it relatively safe area for someone solo? Any good hot spots to visit, or places I should flat out avoid? Or is the whole beach area to sketchy and unsafe to visit alone?

Posts: 66I want to point out that some of internet escort girls won't meet you at some of the hotels in the Zona Norte. Especially at the Hong Kong hotel, or any of the ones right by it. The main reason being that they trying are to be discreet about prostituting themselves and they don't want to be seen in that area. Also if you are getting a over night room somewhere, and planning on bringing a girl to the room. When you check in, make sure to tell them that there will be a second person in the room with you later. You don't have to tell them that you are bringing a prostitute, just that there will be a second person. I've have had 2 hotels get mad at me when the guy in the lobby saw me bring a lady in with me. One yelled at me and said I didn't pay a "double occupancy" fee when I checked in. I don't know if he was trying to scam me, but I didn't check in as 2 people, so maybe it was legit. So I paid him the extra $10 he wanted, and took my lady friend to the room.

Posts: 374So how does one even set something up in TJ? I've looked at the escort sites for TJ but not sure if they're real or not.

Posts: 66For all the times I've crossed into TJ and back, they have never once stamped my passport book. If you can, take a Uber (yes the Uber app will work in Mexcio) to the Zona Norte instead of a cab. Most cabs will charge you like $10-$15 for the ride, and Uber normally charges me about $3-$5. Be careful about using your smartphone while in TJ. Depending on your provider, you might run the risk of being charged a extra "international travel" usage fee if you use your phone while in TJ. I checked with my AT&T plan, and my plan (I have the unlimited everything plan) did cover usage in TJ with no problems. A buddy of mine who went with me one time, found a surprise fee on his next cell phone bill because his plan (I don't know who he uses) didn't cover usage across the border.

Posts: 66Yes there's a couple large pay parking lots near the border entrance. Word of advice though, if you are planning on staying late at night, DO NOT PARK IN THE NEARBY SHOPPING CENTER AT THE BORDER CROSSING! They are SUPER STRICT about policing that shopping center when it comes to parking. If you plan on going across the border during the day, and plan on being back while the stores in that shopping center are still open, then you can get away with it. At night after those stores close, they will start ticketing and towing cars they catch in that lot.
As for the wait, it's dependent on when you try to cross. Getting into Mexico isn't a problem and usually super quick. Coming back across is a different story. It's taken me 15 minutes before, and a hour and half another. I always tell people who are under time constraints, to plan at least a hour to get back across the border. It normally won't take that long, but that's what I always plan.
As for dangerous, well it is Mexico. I've personally only been down into the Zona Norte but I have been thinking about hitting up the beach areas now that it's warmer. When you are in the Zona Norte, you'll quickly notice that there's police EVERYWHERE you go in that area. They are constantly patrolling the street and hanging out on most of the busy corners and by the big clubs. That area is pretty safe because they don't want to scare off the tourists and the money they bring in with them. As long as you use some common sense, don't do anything stupid, stay in the busy areas, and behave yourself, you should be fine. I usually go alone down there, and haven't had any real problems.
