When traveling down to Ensenada it is advised to use the toll road. Google maps should automatically direct you to use it or you could follow the map provided in the invitation.

Question

Which US Port of Entry (border) should we use?

Answer

There are 2 ports of entry one could use, San Ysidro (taking the I-5) or Tecate (taking the SR-188).

Question

How long are the wait times to cross back into the states?

Answer

Wait times can take as long as 3 hours, based on our experience on a very busy day. However, going through the "Ready Lane" can cut your time in half. The "Ready Lanes" are available to those with passport cards but they have become more flexible with accepting other forms of identification (passport, birth certificate, etc.) The Tecate border is known for shorter crossing wait times.

Question

Can I just Google map the venue?

Answer

Yes, Google maps was our best friend while we explored the area. You may want to double check first with your cell phone provider that you have cell phone coverage before racking up those roaming charges. Each invite also received a map providing general guidance.
