getting there

And so begins the blogging about Mexico.  The night before we left, I started becoming anxious about how we were going to manage all this luggage and the two little ones at JFK and the Cancun airport. We had a total of eight pieces of luggage...four backpacks and four suitcases. We were obviously checking the bags but at the beginning and end of our legs, we would need a system to keep track and transport the bags and also hold on to Lucas and Liliana.  Felix in his laid back mode told me not to worry about it and that we would manage somehow....


We were up early on Monday morning and got to JFK in plenty of time to have some breakfast and run around a bit before getting on the plane.





We were the last to board on almost all of our flights.  We would literally board, sit down and then the plane would start taxiing out to the runway.



Enjoying some in-flight entertainment.  We flew TACA airlines.  I had never heard of it, but apparently in Central America they are pretty big and they have nice planes!








Our second flight was only an hour and 20 minutes. 






Upon arriving to Cancun we were delayed a bit by the extensive searching of all checked baggage by the drug sniffing dogs....it was a little frustrating, it had been a long day, we were all tired and hot and we could see our bags, but couldn't get at them. Finally we got them, got through customs quite quick and then after a bus and a taxi arrived at the Royal Haciendas Resort...stay tuned for more...
