traveling from San Diego to Mexico
"Tim923" wrote in message ... Wasn't Tijuana safer in the 60s? My mom and aunt visited then and didn't say they had any trouble. 2006 story http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=37039 I think it's only been this way for the last 5 years or so. Drug dealings, gangs, 'mafia types' found they could get away with doing anything to people leaving the country. I guess they figure - who are they going to report us to ? To a country that they snuck into ? They have so much firepower that the 'good guys' are outgunned. Then they got on both sides of border.

traveling from San Diego to Mexico
It's not just Tijuana. My SIL is from Monterrey and it is bad even down there. Her dad and sister were driving and they came upon a road block. Her dad called her sister and told her to turn around and get out of there. An hour later they heard on the news that everyone who had stopped at the road block were dead. -- Dymphna Message origin: TRAVEL.com |

traveling from San Diego to Mexico

I'd say it was pretty safe in the 1990's, especially during the day. In the early 90's my ex-wife, her parents, and I used to drive down to the border, park on the U.S. side, and walk over to downtown TJ! No problems at all! I visited Tijuana when I was 15, in 1990. I was on a school trip with other 14 and 15 year olds. We crossed into Mexico as a big group, and then our teachers turned us loose. "Stay in groups of three or more, don't wander down any dark alleys or get too far away from the tourist zone. Meet back here in four hours." That was it. Nobody got into any trouble. -- K.

Hi
someday Mexico will be a safe and prosperous place to travel. That Baja California looks like a huge amount of uncommercialized coastline. I've heard it is cheaper than San Diego, but more dangerous. Thanks |
