We're trying to get into Mexico- line is over 2 miles. It's taken over 1 hour and we still have about 30 minutes to go. The line keeps growing- crazy for a Thursday non- holiday weekday.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Baja Sur to see the whales in Guerrero Negro (thanks Russ for the great info!), but I had to get an FMM. Everywhere I looked said I had to get one at the border, which would slow down our 12 hour trip. I found a link to an official site from the Mexican...
