If you plan to travel to Mexico and return to the US, watch this video to learn from our experience and avoid the same pitfalls. We traveled by van, crossing through the Mexicali Border.

Years ago the walk line was miles long, but we were able to rent a bike and use the bike lane which had no line. Then when you get to the US side you drop the bike off at the rental return.
that's honestly so cool! yeh, there was maybe one other person who walked across. Very empty!
As a Canadian, I would go to either country - neither is safe.
Omg!! Thankful for the good outcome!!
Us too! :)
That actually was the best scenario, having her hop out. The general lane would have taken 90 mins plus if your were able to get the vehicle through.
Totally agree! Grateful this was the outcome. Could have been muchhh worse!
Get global Fal lol. It literally takes a minute to get. Walking was a good lesson.
Global is clutch, that's for sure.
Great video though I was worried they might revoke your GE privilege for using Sentri with a non-registered vehicle. Sentri lanes are the only ones at US land borders where the vehicle of the trusted traveler needs to be pre-registered/inspected. Up north you can drive back into the US with your GE card but cannot use Nexus lanes into Canada unless you have a Nexus membership.
Nexus is the best of all programs and the cheapest as well ($50), though you have to interview with US and Canadian border officials.
I feared that too as I sat confined in a gate as they inspected the vehicle. Good to know about Nexus up north. Thanks for sharing @redademe
It’s all at the discretion of the agent at the border that they dealt with. So these people just playing the dumb act got lucky. But the video shows that they lied and exaggerated about that they could not get into the regular lane with using the excuse that their vehicle was too big and couldn’t make a sharp turn because there isn’t only one entrance into the regular lane.there’s literally hundreds of ways that you go around the block and enter into the regular lane from a different street. To say that there is only one way into the regular lane and that big vehicle could not make that sharp of turn is literally a lie. Look on any map! You can enter the regular lane or the century lane from infinite number of angles! It’s just the one angle that they were on they may not have been able to maneuver their big vehicle, but that also says that they are a bad driver too. But that doesn’t mean that they weren’t other areas that they could’ve entered the regular lane. This video is a typical gross Exaggeration and entitlement of the younger generation.
Having never crossed the southern border in my life, all this is Greek to me. Sentry, Global Entry, etc. ... yeah I have no idea LOL. Looks like madness to me. No wonder our border is like a sieve. Anyhoo, nice video, new sub from Kentucky here! Travel safely guys!
HA! Yeah it was a bit of a fiasco, to say the least, and one we wanted to inform other on! Thanks for the comment & following along @cenewton3221
@@zakandfal uhhh I’m white as fuq from NJ but been in San Diego 30yrs, I had a surfer shack with friends for yrs down there at one point and been going baja for 30yrs surfing. Literally easy 1000 trips in 30yrs is not an exaggeration probably underestimate and I have to say that you guys exaggerate and also straight lie in this video. There are many sections to get in the regular line, the medical pass line, or the Sentri line. For you to say that the turn was too sharp or something for your large vehicle is not only a lie because you could’ve used a different route to get into the regular Layne but you are also exaggerating because you should know how to drive your vehicle. I hate videos like this, you were the type of people that say that you went to jail for 10 years speeding ticket or something like that but you neglect to leave out that you’re severely incompetent unaware and culturally unaware of your surroundings. Yes, with over 1000 trips of course I’ve had my bribes and I’ve even been to Rosarito jail once but that still doesn’t mean that Mexicans are not regular people and that they are not Indicative of the cartel or the police and that I’m scared or anything, and I still go down there all the time you need to do better as a content creator and be honest and truthful and say where you were wrong and where you were just being a wimp and you saw a big long line and you didn’t want to get in it that far from the border and you figured oh the shorter lane has to be better and the sensory lane is OK without having century. That’s an entitled millennial Genzie attitude. That is such a disgusting and gross manipulation and exaggeration. What you entire generation does. Shame on you.
Years ago we would go to Mexico often, that is no longer advisable. Mexico can be a nice experience until it's not and then it can be a horror.
Truthfully, we had an amazing time, and would recommend it still! This was just something we wanted to educate people on what now to do when they pass the border. So cool that you got to experience Baja for yourself, before anyone knew about it!
I lead a sheltered life so I have no idea what global entry is or what is going on?
Global entry is sort of like the "TSA PRE check" of crossing the border it seems. Honestly, Zak had gotten a little by accident a few years ago because a credit card he had covered the cost. This is probably the only time he has used it! lol
Who told you to get out?🤨
The officer told Fal to get out
