remember to make 2 copies of your drivers license/tittle /registration/ passport info pages only... i cant remember what copies i needed last time but it helps to have them with you so that you dont have to leave the window and run around.

you want to make 2 maps of the border crossing area... google texas loredo map click on the mapquest link... then zoom in on the map and click to aerial photo... follow highway 35 to the border/ you want the map of the bridge/ usa /mex border and if you look to the left of the bridge, that is the building you want... you can see the large parking area.... so a map of this area is helpfull to navigate to it..

then pan out on the map.... you want to take a right turn leaving the parking lot and take that street all the way around....... so zooming out and prining this page will help you navigate to the 85 hwy....


do note that all border customs/aduana officers where replaced these last few days...... aside from the priority items they are looking for coming into the country they are also looking for undeclared plasma screen t.v.'s


p.s. no mountan dew soft drink in mexico .. might want to bring some down.... j.k.
