jhottness 7 Posted July 15, 2016 I am having surgery on 8/4 and will probably drive. Did anyone else leave their car at the border crossing? From what I can tell online, it seems safe, but I just wondered what other's experiences were like? I'm debating if I should just drive to the San Diego airport and have them pick me up there as if I was flying. Any insight is appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted July 15, 2016 I parked my car at the border crossing. But that was over 30 years ago and I did not park it overnight. It was safe back then but I do not know about now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
determinedtolive 134 Posted July 15, 2016 Not sure what city you're in but I took the Amtrak. Took an Uber/Lyft from the train station to the airport to be picked up. They dropped me off at the train station coming back. I booked mine in February for June so it only cost me $70 round trip with a business seat on the way back.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm in SoCal so I was going to take an Uber all the way to San Diego. My boss is the one that suggested Amtrak and it was a fantastic suggestion! I could relax and not have to worry about a thing. I did my trip to Old Towne which is about 14 minutes from the airport but I think the next stop might be just slightly closer to the airport.
