Coming home that following Sunday. Do you think the wait to cross back will be long? If so. What's a good time to cross back to the US?:cruisin:

I crossed back last year on Sunday morning at 9:15. I had an hour and a half wait at 9:15! I heard it got up to 3 hours later in the day. I'm coming back Monday this year.

I called the border when I was in line once and they even reported the wait wrong.

The web site for waiting times has gotten better....they used to not report for a couple hours at a time.....

That is the same website that said I would wait about 45 minutes. 2hrs and 30 min later I finally got to the front and thru the border. May work for Sonoyta but sure did not work for TJ.

Rob....that web site used to be about 2-3 hours behind in reporting (they're supposed to report every hour)....in terms of accuracy, I've only used it to get a general feel of what it's like up at Sonoyta before I leave. Probably the only way to check that would be to get online when you get thru the border and see how it compares to the reported time. I can't see how they would come up with the time except by asking several people as they cross....a highly scientific method!!!:aagh:

Looks like you survived the violence over in Tijuana!!!!
AZ ROB
Survived the violence but still sick as a dog... but that started before I left Phoenix

Is that address missing something?
Ladyjeeper
I don't think so. I went back and looked at it again. Just type border wait times in google and it will be the first one on top.

Nope....just cut and paste it in your browser (without the quotes).....IE doesn't require you to input http:// in front of it, or even www (in most cases).

BTW, in this one, putting www in front will make it bomb out!
