Homes Hotel Tijuana

... it's made up -- they had a couple of Italian restaurants along one street and so deemed it Little Italy. Probably very cynical of me. The W Hotel is happening tonight ... some big wine tasting event. Lots of sleek young bodies in high heels and/or tight pants. Both men and women. Very amusing. I definitely felt out of place ... <br>

At work all day, then late afternoon flight. No problems with flight at all ... arrived, got rental car, then drove the few miles to the W Hotel. Very swank. The "living room" bar was happening ... but we just went to our rooms, then met for dinner at Rice, the embedded restaurant, which serves Cuban/Asian fusion. Food was fine, not fab.<br><br>Room is fun ... there's a chalkboard (that received a bit of J. Alfred Prufrock from me) and a window seat. And the linens are wonderful.<br><br><br>

... cigars and cheap tequila. And amid the gen**al tattiness and faded infamy, endless pharmacies. Pristine, shining white, glass paneled and f*r all the w*rld like the c*smetic secti*ns *f department st*res. Smiling in their starched white c*ats attendants wait t* dispense. Next t* them stand neat English signs displaying the rainb*w *f available drugs - Vic*din, Viagra, Valium, Oxyc*ntin, diet pills etc. etc.<br><br>It seems as th*ugh the d ...

... blasted out so loud that it the bass was making the tables shake. The thing was though from looking around down onto the streets below it was hard to see as to whom they were playing it for as even at 7 at night it was hard to pick out the tourists that should be on the street to warrant this kind of attention. Even sitting out there on the balcony we saw that the only other people dining had leaving just us two sitting there We got taking to the waiter after he recommended the ...

During my lengthy stay in San Francisco, i did pop over to Tijuana a couple of times. Once on a free cultural tour. We started in a bar, ended in bar and, well, the middle was kinda predictable too! It´s as ´cheap´ and touristy and tacky as i expected. I dropped into a cheap pharmacy (one of dozens) and asked for suggestions for what to pack in the medikit for Central America. Once the hangover had cleared the next day, i ...

Ahh Mexico here we come... Arumbaaa Amigo! We were really looking forward to today and checking out Mexico. We boarded the Starline tour bus with our groovy old- looked like he was in his early seventies -black guy driver 'Papi'. And begin our drive on the massive freeways that Los Angeles is renowned for. At one point 10 lanes of traffic all up and still slow in some spots!!! We've really noticed here the difference in cars compared to Australia. The famous Yank tanks - these ...

... 3 blocks we realize we are in f&amp;*#$^ Tijuana!!!!!! We started freaking out because we had no clue what to do. So we stopped the car and decided to go back though to the US Boarder since we needed to get our Mexican Tourist Cards http://www.bajabound.com/before/permits /visa.php and Temporary Vehicle Pass http://www.bajabound.com/before/permits /vehicle.asp which we needed to enter Mexico ...

... The limit for the airline is 50lbs per bag, and for each overweight bag you are suppose to be charged $50 per piece. So I was prepared to pay the one hundred dollars at the airport. Once we arrived, I chose to do curbside check-in because there was no line, and I wouldn't have to lug my luggage inside to the counter. I pushed my bags up to the desk in the luggage carts, and it came to be that the attendant was to lazy to take the bags off the cart and weigh ...

... sa vola "Tide pooling", co je nahananie morskych priser v takych to jazerach... Na upati Point Loma mozte samozrejme stretnut aj mnozstvo surfistov, ktori sa snazia chytit tu spravnu vlnu a niektori to maju k moru z ich domu len niekolko krokov. Na strane San Diego Bay zase pri domoch pri oceane kotvia jachty a miestny Yacht Club ma naozaj mnozstvo zaujimavych kuskov. Je sa tu proste na co pozerat. :-)
