How to get to Dr
Kuri's Office
THE ABSOLUTE
BEST WAY:
The
offer is extended. Wayne will personally escort persons into Tijuana,
across the border. (Schedules Permitting) I prefer to drive.
DRIVING
[ MY HIGHLY SUGGESTED WAY TO DRIVE INTO MEXICO ]
Directions:
To the Office of Dr
Kuri
( For the prudent drivers
out there )
IMHO:
This is the best way to handle USA cars and the current post Sept 11 situation:
Drive
South on Hwy 5 or 805 ( southbound )
Exit
at the "LAST USA EXIT"
Turn
right at the traffic light
and
Immediately turn right into the driveway of "Border Station Parking"
(They
are guarded 24/7 - Cost = $7.00 per day - But, Lock your car and remove all
valuables from easy view from the outside)
Take
the "MexiCoach" from
the Border Station Parking into Tijuana ( $1.25 )
From
the "MexiCoach"
station in town, take a taxi to Dr Kuri's Office.( $6.00 )
(
Taxi Instructions are located below )
DRIVING
INTO MEXICO
Directions:
To the Office of Dr
Kuri
( For the adventuresome drivers
out there )
Drive South on US Hwy 5 or
805 southbound.
Cross Into Mexico at San Ysedro, CA
Stay in, or get in, the Left Lane
Follow Signs to 3rd Street
HINT: The signs will indicate
"Revolution Ave" and "3ra"
HINT:
(3ra) is the Spanish shorthand for 3rd.
Stay or get into the left lane.
Left on
OCAMPO ( the first light )
Continue to
stay in the left two lanes.
All the way to Aqua Calente Blvd
( There is a light at this intersection )
When
you get to the intersection:
OCAMPO runs North
and South
Aqua
Calente runs East and West ( Kinda )
His
building is on the North West Corner
( Next to the vacant
lot )
Turn to the
right. Pull into the second driveway. Dr Kuri has
reserved space for two cars. - or -
Park anywhere you can
find.
Cars are safe in this neighborhood.
The parking meters takes
US quarters.
Don't leave anything of
value visible from the outside of the car.
How
to get North of The Border
With a Car:
(My method)
There is an excellent way to get
North of the border.
Read and follow the directions

"Good Enough To Die
For" - Wayne Smith
Another
Suggestion:
(
If you don't think that you would like to drive into Mexico. )
Drive
and Trolley Ride:
Go
down highway 5 to any trolley station.
Park
your car at the trolley station.
Take
the trolley to the Tijuana border.
From
the airport:
-
Take bus 992
[ Bus Map ] , or ask for map at the
information booth in the airport lobby.
-
The bus passes by Americas Plaza Transfer Station.
-
You transfer there to the Blue
Line trolley to San Ysidro. [Trolley
Maps ]
-
It will help to look at both maps, on the bus map,
look for the small circle and "T" between Kettner and
Columbia Streets. On the Trolley map, look for station
#30. Both of those are The Americas Plaza Transfer Station.
-
This portion of the trip cost $2.25 last time; be sure to ask for a transfer when you
get on the bus. The transfer works on the trolley.
-
There are route maps, timetables and rates
posted by the SDMTS
-
Get off at station #13 - San Ysidro.
Taxi:
Take the US Taxi to
the Mexico Border at San Ysedro, CA
(
San Diego Airport to Tijuana - $50.00 )
When
you get to the Border:
You have 2 options.
Either: Walk the ramp (uphill and long), which is a struggle with suitcases.
Or: Take a local bus that sits right at the entry to the ramp. It saves the long walk with luggage.
[ About $1.20 to $1.50 ]
a. You can take the bus all the way to the bus depot in Tijuana. This terminal is very near
Revolucion, the main tourist street.
[
It is about 1 miles North of Dr K ]
b. You can get off the bus just across the border (many locals did this as well to avoid the ramp walk) and take a taxi directly to the
Grand.
Be sure to establish a price for the taxi BEFORE you get in.
[
The correct rate to the Dr Kuri's Office is $6.00, but they will charge you
$8.00 - Stick to your guns - The price is $6.00 ]
Take lots of $1 and $5 bills. I've never had anyone refuse American money in my
trips.
It's amazing how many one dollar bills you can go through with tips, etc.
