Rocky Point Mexico

From: "Tam"

we are driving from Phoenix and I was told that it took about 4 hours

Made that drive several times, 4 hours is about right. Take the cut-off thru
Maricopa to I-8, then south at Gila Bend toward Ajo.

should we bring a passport for I.D. or
will a certified birth certificate be acceptable?

If you have a passport go ahead and bring it. Birth certificate will also work
fine, as will a voter's registration card. Actually, if you are white and
don't have an accent you'll probably not be asked for ID either coming or going
after answering a couple of questions at the border, but to be safe bring
something anyway.

La Curva used to be a pretty good restaurant choice for good Mexican food,
though it's been a few years since I've been to RP.

Technically, but I'd make an exception for Rocky Point since
everyone in these parts thinks of it as an adjunct to our fair
state. In that sense it's no more off-topic than having someone
going to Tucson ask about Nogales Sonora.

that could be, but aside from the million or so residents of your
state, it is not considered part of the US, hence it is off topic

If only Gadsden had stuck to the original plan...

thanks, I am used to the pass right through routine at the Laredo border =
just wondered if this was about the same.

Technically the guy is right since Rocky Point isn't in the USA or Canada. But
since the only tourists who go there are coming from or through nearby Arizona
this NG is probably a better place to ask questions about it than the
r.t.latin-america group.

It's not a big deal either way ... lots of posts are more out of line than this
one was.
