Getting Fill on a Saturday

[beery]

Did you guys know that you can go to TJ and get your fills from OCC on a Saturday. I was having issues taking off and they told me that they also do this on Saturdays. So, I am flying in on June 9th (Saturday) at 8:45 am and flying out 3:45 same day.

Thanks for the info. I've been having the same problem (taking off during the week).

Beery,

I went and got my first fill today. My flight left PHX at 955 arrived late at 11:30. My appointment was at 12. I didn't get there until 12:30. No problem they still took me. We had to wait for other psgrs they were picking up around the same time. Arrived we had our fills which was cool to watch with the flora and were out of the OCC by 1:30. Our flight wasn't until 4:55 but they said we should leave asap as the border had at least a two hour wait. The driver took us to Lucerna to pick up other psgrs and they went to the other border (i think its called mesa) and we were suppose to walk and wait in line, which was super long, but the drive told the border agt we all had surgery and walking would be hard. Anyways, we got to the airport at 2:55 only to find our 4:55 flt delayed until 6pm. But we asked if we could standby another flight and they didn't mess around they got us on a 2:55 flight that was running a little late and we got home to PHX a little after 4p. Although we didn't get to shop or spend time in San Diego. It all turned out well.

Oh my band was filled to 1.7cc - now liquids until Monday.

best of luck!

Thanks Jazzy!

Sounds like your fill trip went alot like mine.

I flew into San Diego yesterday. Arrived at 8:30 they didn't get there to pick me up until 10:00 due to the border being so crammed. I got to the OCC at 10:30 and had to wait until 11:45 for my fill, not sure why it was so unorganized but people were everywhere. There were 5 people waiting to be taken to the hotel and Mrs. Ortiz was running behind. Three of them just took off walking because they were tired of waiting. There were 5 other people waiting there for fills. Normally you are in and out in 15 minutes but it was taking alot longer for some reason. Anyway had to wait for the driver but he came within 20 minutes, he had to pick a couple up from the lucerna. Francisco was running errands for Dr. Ortiz and couldn't take us. We waited at the border for over 2 hours and I finally made it to the airport by 2:30. My flight didn't leave until 3:40. Everything worked out great.

Oh by the wait the fill was 1.6 and it was cool seeing on the Florascopy. It didn't hurt just looked and felt weird having that long needle stuck in my port.

Have a great week!

ON OUR FIRST FILL TRIP BACK, THEY WERE RUNNING LATE DOING FILLS, WE HAD TO HURRY AND GET BACK TO THE AIRPORT. THEY CALLED US A CAB, A VAN. OMG LOL IT WAS THE WILDEST RIDE I'D BEEN ON WITH 4 WHEELS UNDER ME, WELL SOMETIMES UNDER US LOL . I WAS IN THE BACK, THANK GOD SANDY WANTED THE FRONT SEAT AT ONE POINT WE WERE DOING 80 CLIMBING UP A HILL GOING AROUND CORNERS, HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE. WE WERE STOPPED BY THE FEDERALES? MEXICAN POLICE ON THE WAY TO THE BORDER CROSSING, OTAY MESA. THEY WERE STOPPING CARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WITH MACHINE GUN LOOKING THINGS IN HAND, LOOKING IN EVERY VEHICLE . ONCE AT THE BORDER, THE DRIVER KICKED US OUT, HE SPOKE NO ENGLISH, WE WALKED THROUGH THE BUILDING AND LOW AND BEHOLD, ON THE OTHER SIDE THE DRIVER WAS WAITING. THANK GOD BECAUSE I WAS MORE THEN LOST. I DID ASK WHEN WE WERE IN THE BUILDING JUST WHERE WE WERE. WE GOT BACK IN THE VAN AND DID MAKE OUR FLIGHT ON TIME BUT IT WAS ONE WILD RIDE. ONE WE WON'T FORGET FOR A LONG TIME I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES WE'VE LAUGHED ABOUT THAT RIDE REHASHING IT

AT THE OTAY MESA CROSSING THERE WAS NO WAITING AT ALL AND REALLY I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT FAR FROM THE OTHER CROSSING, MAYBE 10 MILES?
