Changing trucks at Johnny's Shell seems like a great idea. That should work.

It seems we have to get the FMM regardless if it is free or not.

I personally would not risk doing anything out of procedures.

Remember it is a different country, and they have their own way of doing business.

I see one other option.

At the shell station meeting, put everyone who needs FMM in the same vehicles.

Drive on US highways and go through Mexicali.

Meet at 10 miles pass border and swap passengers.

That way maybe less cars would have to stop for FMM.

Glad you liked and approved it.

I knew I was good for something.

Just did not know what.

Sorry Hashem I will have to reserve judgement until AFTER trip ends. HaHaHa!!
It is all good and almost always works out great. BTW the solar panels are now installed on the roof, just waiting on solar controller to arrive, baby steps, Solar System should be working by 1st of November at the latest. Tight lines.

Sounds fair.

I hope you won't be disappointed Bob.

Good to hear the solar project is advancing.

That means I have to come back to your place.

Everyone needs an FMM it doesn't matter anymore how long you stay you need it.

If staying less than a week you don't have to pay but you still have to get it.

Also they have been checking the FMM much more frequently through San Felipe now.

Most people pay and have it for 6 months.

Jeff you are right, last holiday weekend people were sent back from San Filipe to Mexicali to get it or to leave the country. I understand some just went home. Too bad Mexico could not just sell them in San Filipe.

Agreed wiser to pay the $22 and not need to worry later. Good call.
