Paseo de los Heroes 10902 Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, 22320, 664-633-3900
After living in the hostel for 2 weeks it was time to move on, so I arranged for a home stay through the Spanish school. This way I`d get to speak Spanish a lot more than in the hostel. I moved to Recoleta, an upmarket and pretty nice area of BA, into a house with Sylvia. There was also Belen, her daughter, and two American students from the university. And their 3 little terrier type dogs!
Generally quite a good setup. It certainly was nice to have my own room instead of a shared dorm...

... 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>
San Diego, California, United States ahartryAt 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>

Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico jeznkez... outbreak we headed downstairs to reception to try and get some more news from the woman working the desk. Her name was Paloma and once again she was as nice as you could wish for in that kind of situation, geinually unconcerned for our situation. She gave us all off the info that she knew and also promised to call her friend who worked in Mexico city as a nurse to give us some more information in the morning. She seemed reasonable calm over the situation and told us not to worry ...
Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico elrigster... you tossers, take note. Did i mention the leather seats and legroom? <br><br>Aside from getting off the plane in Tolouca by mistake during the layover (and the mad sprint back to departures and security to join my bag on the plane!), it was an uneventful flight and we got there 15 mins early. Absolutely painless so far... although getting off in Tapachula felt like we´d just landed in the Amazon...hot, humid and green.
Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico brabzzz... the day! The mother was obviously very annoyed, and we did feel sorry for them as it was not going to be an exciting day sitting at the border, until it was time to leave again!!! We finally got to Mexico border, where our tour bus and driver had to wait on the USA side. We were told strictly be back by 5 pm or the bus will leave with out you!!! We boarded a Mexican bus and went over the border. A very easy process, they didn't even stop us to check our passports or anything ...
Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico flicandsimon... accrued on my right side from the body heat of the man. Once in Denver, I found my connecting flight, which was to leave 15 minutes from the arrival of my other flight, and made it to my seat in time. I had been on the plane for about 5 minutes and an air-marshal came up asked if I was James Cummings, and said that I needed to follow him. He led me outside of the plane and said that something inside my bag was vibrating and he needed me to remove, or deactivate ...
San Diego, California, United States jmattcummings... I went on a flight simulation helecopter. That was pretty fun, Dad would have enjoyed that.
