Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 Bring your passport!!
For this year's social event we will journey south of the US border to visit
Baja California, Mexico.
The Tourist Corridor just south of the California border includes Tijuana, Ensenada and Rosarito.
The region has long endeared itself to visiting Americans and International travelers in search of sprawling
coastlines with a Southern California climate.
Our first stop will be
Tecate, Mexico. Tecate offers a charming small-town ambience
even today, an attraction that keeps bringing tourists into the town. There's a thriving artists' colony that influences
the temper of the town. Rather than the usual curios found in border towns, local pottery, tile and glassworks are
displayed at shops and handicraft centers, and local art is displayed at galleries around town.
We will have time to sample local sweet breads and beer for which the town is famous, and visit Hidalgo Plaza,
where visitors can enjoy Tecate's unique beauty.
Next, we visit
Rosarito, Mexico. Rosarito lies along the sea coast,
and has a mild climate with plenty of sun and a soft sea breeze. Each year, thousands of tourists run from the hustle and bustle
of large cities to relax on the beaches of Rosarito. We will dine at a beautiful beach-side resort in nearby
Puerto Nuevo.
We will be met with a welcome drink and enjoy the sunset and a nice dinner with traditional Mexican food and folkloric dance and mariachi.
Please do not forget to bring your passport
to participate in this exciting excursion.
Foreign visitors should ensure that they have multiple-entry visas to the US if necessary.
The web site for US passport requirements can be found at U.S. Department of
States International Travel Information to Mexico and
Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
The web link to VISA requirements to Mexico for citizens of US and other countries can be found at Mexican Foreign Ministry
VISA for Foreigners
.
Busses will leave the Hotel at 3:30 p.m. and depart Baja at approximately 11 p.m.
There is no extra cost for this program for VTS attendees who register at member and non-member rates.
Students and companions of VTS attendees can register for the Social Program for $100 per person.
To guarantee your participation in this program you must register before April 4, 2008.
