Hey guys, my girlfriend is coming out for a few days to visit around thanksgiving and we are planning a 2 day trip down to Mexico. Well I have never gone down there and im looking for some advice on where too go. We will be going down early on saturday and staying overnight then coming back sunday evening.
I have heard rocky point is nice but she is a spanish major in college and id like to go somewhere that is a little more authentic than that. The other factor is someplace where I know my car will be there the next morning.
Any advice would be really helpfull, thanks alot guys.

hell, go to Rocky point and have a blast.
What you don't want to do it go to some place that Americans do not frequent often.
The only safe places in Mexico for Americans are American tourist locations in my opinion.
-
Thats what I was thinking, just hoping to show her some authentic mexico, not american mexico. Although we could just drive around I gueess and visit some places then stay over night at Rocky.
LOL if she wasnt with me id be looking for some hot fishing spots. I have not been out since I moved from NY and its killing me.
-
RT, as soon as you get into Mexico, you will know it :)
It's pretty authentic, believe me.
-
hahaha I just hope I have tires on my car so I can get back, only thing saving. I told her that if we get into trouble im using her as a bribe.
-
Rocky point is the same distance from Phoenix as it is from Tucson....isn't that weird? 212 miles.
-
That is wierd.
Have you ever been down there Nuke?
-
One word.
Tijuana.
It is at the apex of the hub of the vortex of paradise. An oasis, nestled in the heart of the Americas.
-
I dont know about that Nash, ive only heard bad things about Tijuana, plus I got the Girlfriend with me, if I was going with a bunch of guys then it might be different.
-
You may have a point there...
My journey to the soul of Mexico was with upstanding members of USC's Delta Sigma Phi...
We went to partake in its culture, its rich history, and its noble traditions. We were not dissapointed.
However, travelling there with a long distance internet girlfriend may be a different experience.

LOL and why are you calling her a Long distance internet girlfriend.
-
Anywhere on the border is going to be hardcore. I do not reccomend it.
-
I dunno... Just comes naturally to me. I got a knack for it.
-
lol your killin me, actually I used to live in NY moved out here for work back in march, she is still in school back there, sorry too dissapoint you.
Now back to Tijuana, I can only imagine the culture you experienced, im thinking various forms or expressive art was on the list.

Indeed, and that was the entire reason for the trip. I was able to document so many of my buds lying face down in their own puke.
But my camera got stolen, and my dreams of emerging as a star on the art scene were crushed.
Sadly, 'Vomit Christ' will never be shown. My loss? Hell yeah. But it's a much deeper loss to the world.
-
Growing up and going through college we didnt have Tijuana being from NY, but we did have Niagra Falls on the Canadian side, the US dollar goes a looooooooooong way up there.
-
Where abouts in NY?
-
I lived outside of Rochester and went to a state school south of Rochester about 2 hours.
-
Hmm... I think yer BSing me. I think yer girlfriend is going to Parsons and that you are a FIT alumni.
:D

If your dumb bellybutton is comparing Canada to Mexico, especially on the border, there are a lot of people that will take care of you, pinche gringo.

HAHA you dolt im not comparing, just telling a story about a Canadian Gentlemans club lol.
-
We're all gentlemen up here. :)
-
Well of course you are Nash, haha I remember walking into one establishment and there were 4 guys the size of sky scrapers standing there checking IDs. Well my buddy is so drunk he can hardly walk, but they let him in anyways but warn us that he was our responsibility, Well we certainly listened. Latter I found out that the club was run by the russians so im glad we were good boys.
-
In talking about the bars here, you use the words "Gentlemen's club" and then you use the word "establishment."
I'm getting a funny vibe....
And that is... Forego the road trip into Mexico. Skirt the border by taking a plane into the heart of it. Maybe something along the lines of a Club Med package.
(just yankin' yer chain)
-
Hmmmmmmmmmm club med, havent thought about that yet, good suggestion.
-
Hey, I'm only here to help. :)

after living in Arizona for 6 years I have to say stay away from border towns. Stay away from "regular" mexico. Stick to the tourist areas. They are still nice areas surrounded by impoverished people that will rob you so its no different than going to anywere else in mexico except you have a nice hotel to stay at.
Rocky point
Rosarita
Baja
and if you feel like driving
Cabo
masatlan (SP) <---like Cabo but less expensive
-
Your taking you girlfriend to Mexico and going to a border town? Hop a flight to Cabo or Cancun. It's cheap and much nicer. There's a reason you never hear of snorkling tours in Juarez.

Some years back a friend of mine was at topsfield fair, while he was there he entered a contest at the carefree gum booth. He won, and the prize was a trip for two to carefree Arizona. He was put up in this hotel that had rooms built into the rock and it had a real nice golf course. He was given a video tape of the place, he said it was real nice. Wish I could think of the name of the resort, i'll try to get it for you.
-
Any of the border towns are just going to be tourist traps, with hordes of vendors harrassing you. You'll have to go deep into Mex. if you want "authentic"
You can't bring your guns into Mexico.. why in God's name would you want to go there, and with your GF in tow?

If you do ever go down to Mexico to fish, visit Lake El Salto (sp?)
Great lake.
