What should I pack when moving to Tijuana?

We asked people living in Tijuana to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"I lived in San Francisco, California area for 50 years, moved to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 2009, then to Tijuana in 2012. I moved to PV with nothing but collected quite a bit of stuff while living there. We rented a moving truck and carted it all to Tijuana. I can get everything I need by crossing the border to the U.S. Take what is important to you (treasured things). If you can afford to buy new/used furniture when you arrive, leave as much as you can in the U.S. Customs is a pain," commented one expat who made the move to Tijuana, Mexico.
