Crossing the Border into Mexico WITH OUR RV (If it can go wrong, it will)

[@pmroveda]

Reminds me when our family got transferred to Mexico City in 1959. Once we got into Mexico, travelling in the desert, we would come across these shacks in the middle of nowhere where the guards would search the car. They would take whatever they wanted, like toys, but would hold up new small appliances we were bringing back, and not take them, because they didn’t know what they were. They were essentially bribe points.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Wow! Things have changed a little.

[@shirleyschutt3959]

I love your family. I love it when JJ tells Marrisa that it's going to be OK Mom. I love your kids. Thanks for letting us go to Mexico with you. Have a safe trip.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks so much

[@outliersoverland]

Bienvenido a Baja. Cherish that nervous feeling it means you’re LIVING! Enjoy your time here and look us up in you fun yourselves near Playa La Mision on your way back north.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you! Will do!

[@johndenissweeney6753]

Enjoy folks, I have friends who are travelling all over Mexico in their RV as we speak . We chat every day …they love it and have never felt safer and have been there for quite some time now . 😎🌴☀️

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is awesome!

[@ellielizhavenofbless945]

A family we know here in Lancaster just came back from Mexico. Ran into her at the grocery store and she seeems fine and dandy. I'll be praying you guys continue to have a fun, relaxing and safe time. Just watch your kids closely ❤️

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much, we are having a great time. 😀

[@ellielizhavenofbless945]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney I'm a tad bit jealous 😂❤️ can't wait for the next video so I can continue to live vicariously through you!

[@joellenowerko3429]

Be safe down there with the little ones you're braver than me

[@CK-831]

Having lived in Ca for forty years, have been back and forth many many times….going in is MUCH easier than driving back out!!! THEY’RE NOT SO NICE ON THE FLIP FLOP!

[@hshalom9113]

We had problems coming back yrs ago and we walked across!

[@brittdrake1615]

My parents have been heading down there in their RV for a couple of years now. This was a great way for me to understand why they like it so much. And to see a quick snippet of my sweet dad sitting in a chair, staring at the ocean as you guys pulled up in the neighboring site was a wonderful gift. I hope you guys are having a blast & can't wait to follow along!

[@weaverswandering972]

That is awesome!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is fantastic.

[@chrishelms1967]

Gotta be a relief to be there with friends.....

[@sherriweber7105]

So glad it turned out that your friend found his missing spare tire. Glad you got to go through to Mexico after finding out about the passport. Glad you are staying at a place in Baja! Funny seeing the fur in the egg. It looks beautiful there! Hope you had a great time! See you all soon! Safe travels!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks 👍

[@marielange9077]

Nice jacket, Nathan--you look better in colors than black!

[@LisaMarli]

Have a great trip. I had a friend live in Baja for a year. She loved it. She had to come back to help her father, otherwise she would have stayed there.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

So far we love it.

[@jimrodda]

I've never seen a person so anxious about crossing a border that Marissa, Baja California is Geared up for tourism as is Cancun, safe travels 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@karenwademan8714]

“This looks fake.” Exactly what I was thinking as the words came from your mouth, Marissa. Wow! What incredibly beautiful scenery you don’t get to see everyday. Enjoy. 💕🙏☀️😘

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much!

[@murda2999]

That sunset on the beach makes it worth all that stress! Can't wait to follow along on the rest of the journey!

[@agdigitalvideo]

I agree I clean house before I leave. If someone broke it, I would be embarrassed and afraid they would talk about it. Plus, I clean the house before the housekeeper comes

[@richardmeyer7649]

The sunset was amazing. I hope you had fun.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes, thank you

[@terryannakaomamoose8502]

Anytime we have gone on a trip besides getting my office at work ready I felt like the house needed to be in order, just in case......

[@dianabergeron7499]

Wow, stressful beginning…but, the beach and sky in Mexico look like cotton candy ❤. Beautiful!!!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Yeah, no matter how 1000% innocent I was, I always stressed over crossing the border, the Federales stops and all of the rest - and I have sailed down 3 times, up once & I literally have no idea how many vehicle crossings. It's just intimidating. I would think kids would help. And well-trained and cute puppies.

[@kevinvanlohuizen2709]

I went to San Felipe close to 20 years ago, it was really nice.

[@linmurray436]

Wish I had known you were going to San Felipe, my cousin retired down there and owns Rancho Bugambillas RV park, vacation rentals. It has a beautiful pool , several casitas, campground and social clubhouse right on the water.. We love it there!!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That is awesome. You never know where we might end up. 😀

[@ED-ti5tc]

Hope y'all have a great trip.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you for sharing your adventure. Blessings

[@mountainsintomemories]

Baja looks awesome! Definitely something I’d like to do someday. That waterfront site is very cool!

[@jodymooney255]

We go to Mexico 2x a year and always take dollars. Mexico loves the US dollar. It was 17MX to 1 US in January 2023. Enjoy yourself guys, they love Americans! ❤

[@charlenecastaldo3602]

I hope all of you were finally able to relax and enjoy your journey. What a beautiful location! Thanks for sharing so much great and important info.

Love you family and travels Happy Birthday Marissa ! What a better place to spend it.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much!

Love the new RV

[@shellysands7342]

Be careful, stay safe. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Looking forward to spending at least a month in Mexico! We’ll find a group to head down with, hopefully we can do some volunteering while resetting our US time limit during the winter.

[@lorraineramsay6532]

It's a good idea to rub your eggs in some fresh water before using if you are not making eggs boiled in the shell. Remember to keep fresh water nearby to rinse your mouth and toothbrush. When you see trucks drive by with men in the bed of the truck wearing helmets and carrying big guns, that is a good thing. I am Canadian. When I enter the US or Mexico I am going to spend money which helps their economy. In Mexico 100 pesos equals 5 US dollars so just multiply by 5. 40 pesos is about is about $2 USD. BTW Mexicans go make donuts but they are not the same as in US and Canada, they are more bread like.

[@kathleenrutherford733]

I am so happy for you guys, if your gonna go to Mexico with your family, then as a caravan would be the best way to go! WOW you all are super brave babies and all? Im impressed! I am such a worry wart

[@pampledger6099]

Excellent. Just finished binge watching and happy to see one of the best episodes ever. Love.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Wow, thank you so much.

[@RiverWoods111]

Yep, I went down a one-way road in the middle of Cabo San Lucas. I got about one block up the road when a bunch of police on foot started waving NO, NO, NO! and signaling for me to turn around. One of them literally walked out into the street to stop me! They were super nice about it and were laughing at me the whole time. Hehehe!

[@cynthiafloyd1109]

Just had to say, always love yalls videos but this one was just fun, thank you for giving me fun on an otherwise rough week. Yall have fun❤️

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

So many beautiful sunsets!

I’ve been to Akumal, half moon bay,Rocky Point, Cabo San Lucas, and over the boarder in Algadones. Never a problem. I was afraid before I went the first time. 🥰💕🫶

Thank you so much for this playlist on RVing in Baja! We are preparing for our first baja RV trip with friends this January! I am super nervous but your videos are helping give me a realistic view of this journey...and that maybe i don't need to worry so much. Just wanted to say thank you for your effort and time to share this information!

JJ and your daughter are getting big so sweet... enjoy your time together have fun stay safe out there on the roads 😊 Take care 🙂 thanks for taking us along with you everywhere you go we appreciate it 😊

[@robinsonsontheroll5482]

How do I not remember that FOS story? 😂 Looks like you’re having a blast so far!

[@Sanecrist]

The US has pretty unique requirements for eggs. In order to be sold in stores, they must be washed. Most countries don’t even allow that because it washes off the protective coating, thus exposing the porous texture to bacteria. There are farmers from Europe with KZbin channels that show how they process their eggs. And basically, anything too dirty doesn’t get sold. Any egg mildly dirty gets scratched off with sandpaper. Eggs can last longer if they haven’t been washed, too. I have chickens and have eaten six month old unwashed eggs. If you keep them in the fridge, it’s mostly fine… sometimes you get a bad one and that smell haunts you for days. Which is why cooking shows tell you to always crack your eggs in a separate bowl and not directly over what you’re trying to make. The flock I have this year are particularly dirty girls. I actually washed my eggs while watching this video. Hens lay with the sun. So as the days get longer, they’ll lay more. The eggs I washed will get eaten before they go bad because I don’t have to ration them in springtime. Anyway, hope that explains why your eggs had feathers. 😂

[@doughalldorson8663]

Baja is amazing don’t listen to the negative comments ,enjoy 😄🌴🌵

It is so beautiful 😂😂😂

I can recognize your strong feelings when national borders have to be crossed. We live in Denmark and usually cross 4 - 5 different borders on our camper holiday in Europe - Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany and France. I enjoy following your travels - warm greetings from Denmark

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much, we don't cross many national borders here so when we do it is a big deal. 😀

[@DetGodeCamperliv]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney 🥰Our big dream is a trip to the USA and North America in a motorhome - who knows, maybe the dream will come true 😊 until then, we have to settle for Europe 🇪🇺🏰💶⚽️

[@loragunning5394]

Marissa, I not enough of a neatness person to worry about the state of my home if someone breaks in, but then I don't worry about anyone ever breaking in, either. My thing about my home is I can dirty it up thru-out the day, but it's gotta be clean (especially the kitchen) before I go to bed at night, so every morning I can wake up to a relatively neat/clean home. However, I am a single person living alone and don't make much mess thru the day, so only takes 10-15 minutes to clean the place up before I change into jammies and settle into bed.

[@lindagaul6365]

I used to feel like you until my home was broken into while on a vacay. It’s such a violating feeling what the burglars were thinking about my cleaning habits is the last thing that comes to mind.

[@knownone3395]

I hope the Federales check Marissa's throw pillows thoroughly. They seem suspicious.😹🤣

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

😂😂😂 Noooooo!

[@patvrabel908]

They don't wash eggs like we do in US. Everything looks so great! Have a nice time!

That “cracked” me up 😂😂😂

AT&T mobility doesn’t work in Mexico, but few know that AT&T bought Mexican Mobility, they call it AT&T Mexico now. You can get plans with no borders, so it can be used in Canada and Mexico.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks.

[@aprilkeener3345]

I totally clean my house too when we leave for vacation!!! You're not alone. 1) In case someone breaks in. And 2) I know when I'm trying to "relax" on vacation I'll just be thinking "I could be cleaning my house right now". And 3) One less thing to deal with when you get back. And no, I am definitely not a neat freak either. You are not alone Marissa!!!

Thank you so much.
