Coming to California

[T Pat]

We bought the Dolphin Encounter for one of our grandkids a few years ago she loved it, I thought it was a rip off because they had 4 other kids in the pool with her and they all had to take turns interacting with the dolphin.

I applaud you for going to TJ, I think all kids should visit a third world country so they can see how good they have it.

Let me give you a few Tijuana tips;
When you exit the trolley at the boarder look straight out the door and you will see a traffic circle for buses, get on the Mexicoach (red bus) there might be a 15 or 20 minute wait. The Bus will drop you off at the Mexicoach Station on Avenida Revolucion. The Bus Station can be seen from most of the tourist area and is very safe and the employees inside speak excellent English so I would make it the designated spot to meet up incase one of the three of you loses the other two. Take the Mexico Bus back across the boarder (it’s the fastest way to get through customs) the bus will drop you off and you walk through customs, after your passed through customs stop following everyone from the bus and exit the doors to the right, with all the people from the other lines this will take you back to where the trolley dropped you off.
Barter for your souvenirs (it’s expected) if the shop keeper says an item is $10 that means they will settle for $5 or $6
Don’t bother with exchanging dollars for pesos they prefer dollars in the tourist area’s
If any of the shopkeepers or beggars are bugging you by trying to sell you something you don’t want, nothing works better than “No Gracias” (what can they say to no thankyou in there language)
