MEXICO

Possibly more challenging now

In your case, I would say it's become more challenging.

The path along the US side has remained the same since last year.  However, just a few months ago, Mexico added an immigration check just past the turnstiles in MX.  

Now, once you exit the new immigration building, you're required to walk a little further (maybe an extra 1/10 of a mile).  The new path is relatively flat, but the increased distance may be an issue for you.  

I hope this helps.

I'm planning on going over to TJ this coming week (on a weekday). Last time I crossed over was a year ago. It was a real PITA as I am partially disabled. In fact, if I had known how difficult it was (a long walk and a number of up and down slopes carrying one bag), I wouldn't have gone. Does anyone remember how it was last November and if so, can you tell me if it is physically easier or more challenging now? TIA!!

Hi Burt,  do you know any way to get a ride across the boarder from SD to TJ.  Don't want my passport getting stamped while I wait for my crossing card

Go over by foot, you can take a cab over from the border for $5

That does not answer his question.

 
At the Otay crossing they do not check passports yet and so your passport does not get stamped.
If you get a taxi or a friend to drive you in your passport will not be stamped at San Ysidro point of entry.
