@tahoe. Thanks for the reply back man. I appreciate the feedback and tips. I'll definitely take your advice and try to plan the border cross around 3pm to avoid the wait at check in. And that's actually quite reassuring to know that the Hotel is somewhat safe - I'll likely just bring all my stuff if I don't figure out another alternative. Thanks again!

Great Article @ Tahoe. Can't wait for my first trip this winter. Any chance you (or anyone else) might have some advice on keeping luggage safe (or finding/using storage lockers in SD) when making the trip over to TJ/Hong Kong? I'll be attending a conference in SD and will likely be carrying with me a backpack + carryon suitcase. My main valuables would just be my work computer and personal computer. I know it's not ideal to bring many valuables when traveling .. especially for these types of trips - so just wondering if anyone has any tips for how to keep my luggage safe (mainly just worried about the work computer). Ideally I'd only bring over my backpack with clothes and essentials but I'm not sure if there's any reliable places to store belongings while I'm in TJ for a few days. Logistics: Conference is a Thursday -> Saturday thing. So afterwards my plan would be to spend 2-3 days in TJ (likely will be staying at Hotel Cascadas) and the remaining time in SD to work remotely/site see before I fly back out to the east coast.
