Border Crossing

[trizzy35 50]

Ok--dear ol' hubby is kinda freaking me out! He said there have been a lot of deaths at the border lately, and that it is not safe to cross due to the drug cartels....I am crossing into Mexicali--is it safe? Trying to relieve hubby's fears--any help?

Thanks!

Hi,

I was just sleeved by Dr. Aceves 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Boarder is five minutes from the hospital and I felt absolutely safe crossing it. Are you going to Dr. Aceves and if so are you flying into San Diego? If so then Ernesto will be picking you up in a white van. He does this loop multiple times a week and is obviously very experienced. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the drive from the airport to Mexicali. You drive through the desert and there are these HUGE boulders everywhere. It was a whirlwind of a trip. But we always felt perfectly safe. Good luck, Cathi

Hi,

This is an extremely SAFE border to cross. Ernesto who is the driver that picks you up from the Airport in San Diego does this 2 times a day and I promise you that Mexicali is one of the safest borders to cross. Tell hime to relax. You are in great hands and nothing will happen to you.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Thats funny to me actually. I live in Orange County California, its more dangerous to cross the street in Santa Ana at night than to cross the border in the daytime with a driver. Unless you are in the back of a van under the wheel well being smuggled across by "coyotes".

Really, you hardly even know you are crossing. You are in the van with the driver and you have to wait a little while sometimes, if there is a line.

You basically just stop for a few seconds while they glance inside the van.

They don't check inside bags or anything like that.

I had a face lift in May in Meicalli and it was the same way that time as when I crossed with Ernesto 2 years ago. We just drove right across the border without any difficulty.
