Transportation options to travel from Ensenada, Mexico (the OIV World Congress) to Santa Rosa, CA, USA.

While the suggested plans are designed to help everyone arrive on time, air travel and border crossing delays are common. The times below have been intentionally padded in anticipation of delays, but the safest option is to leave as much time as possible for arriving at each destination. The FIVS Secretariat suggests that travellers spend one night in San Diego after crossing the border before flying to Santa Rosa.
