La Mesa Inn 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>

First thing i did was to go to the booth of Tequila con Vibora, then i had a shot of Tequila with a rattle snake. Sampling unlimited Tequila for only $5!!!! We also had all kinds of street foods at the Tequila Fest held on Revolution Ave. in Tijuana.<br><br>What We Learned<br><br><br><br>Tequila is usually bottled in one of five categories<br><br><br><br><br> <li>Blanco ("white") or plata ("silver ...

... If you are planning a longer stay, they you will need to progress through the "Items to Declare" lane to the right. Here there is a few parking spot where you can park your vehicle and proceed to the Immigration office to fill out the form for your Tourist Visa. The building is located at the far end (to your right) and is where you will ...

... the liveliness little but still giving everyone ample time to offer you a variety of ponchos or a shot of tequila. The Hotel was a little bit rough and ready with flaking paint and probably designed in the 70´s but it was clean, big and very cheap with free Internet. <br><br>We had the day to kill so we left our things in the apartment, including my camera as i had been warned about that it could be stolen if on view and decided to go out and explore or first taste of Mexico. We ...

... Santa Ana has a sports equipment store called Sports Monkey. We'd been looking at their website and the price of goalie pads were quite a bit less than at home. Like we don't have enough packed in the trailer and van we've added a set of goalie pads and a blocker for Erin. We arrived at the KOA around 3pm. After camping at state parks for the last couple of weeks the KOA is like heaven. They have lots of showers, a beautiful pool, a hot tub a store ...

... drama that dayJ! The mother and daughter had also made it back on the bus - surprise surprise!!! We asked what happened and they said they left very early cause they were a bit apprehensive about what would happen. Anyway they got hauled over by USA officials in a big way, and only eventually go through, because they had an expired passport of the girl on the system - but she wasn't to repeat that again without a passport! Lucky too! Our Mexico experience was interesting and ...

Hello everyone! I've had quite the day, and I have a lot to tell you about. First off, I discovered last night that I had a leak in my one of my bags, so I decided to unpack things to take care of whatever it was. I thought I'd rather do it then, then on the ship. It turned out that a bottle of fabric softener got a hole in it and it leaked the entire bottle out. Not only that, but it leaked onto cough drops which got sticky, and then they all leaked out and made a puddle in the ...

... hook on top of which you can see the whole city under your feet. The ride uphill cost me a hell of a lot of sewating but by far worth the effort. See the pics here. I cycle down the hill heading into the city. First I have a hard time to find the way but after going back and forward for a while some people can put me right back on the track. I cycle along the canal and highway for a few mile before I turn toward the Old Town. Beautiful houses I pass by. By the ...
