ROAD REPORTS

A.  Thanks to everyone who sent directions to the Otay Mesa border crossing.  Made it there easily.  This being said:  I would never use that border crossing again.  I thought that because it was so easy to reach and the line was not all that long that this would be a walk in the park.  Not so…they had two lanes closed and for no apparent reason while we were in line they closed 2 more…thus resulting in a major (nah I can’t use that word) snafu with all the cars trying to change lanes. Maybe because it it was around 5 and time for a shift change? The nastiest person (negative, rude, and downright hostile) in the world manned the booth where I was in line.  I almost told him to change his attitude until I realized that he would most likely pull me over into secondary.  Honestly, I found out he had been doing this for 25 years.  I think it’s time for him to retire.  My friend (we caravanned) was not so lucky…she did get pulled over to secondary…and didn’t get out of there for over an hour.  Never again…At least at San Ysidro they smile and welcome you home and pass you right through.  The wait was about the same at both crossings but Otay was easier to get to.  Other than that: road conditions:  Not good.  Lots of construction throughout southern Baja.  A long wait coming up the mountain between Constitucion and Loreto.  Only one lane of traffic at a time and we waited 40 minutes to be waved through.  Several others like this along the way.  Lots of dirt and tar.  I’ve made this trip 25 times and this is the worst trip I had regarding delays and construction.  Funny, when I drove down in October and then again in January the roads were fine..no potholes or any thing that looked like it needed to be torn up and redone.  One extra military checkpoints and they went through everything but the suitcases.   Please don’t reply since I am travelling and email service will be sporadic.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

c.  A few weeks ago someone wrote about their good experience in a pet friendly hotel in Santa Rosalia.
I went to look it up on their website but the website was under construction so there was  no information.
Sad to say, but I forgot the name of the hotel by now.
Would the nice person that described the hotel before please e-mail me with the name of the place?
Thank you, lindainbaja@hotmail.com
