A very long day of traveling yesterday. Everything was fine until we got to Philadelphia, and high air traffic delayed our landing by about 15 minutes. With that, we had to retrieve our bags and go through customs, and check in again, to finally find out that our next flight was in terminal 4 - which we could get to by shuttle bus. Waited for the bus for about 15 minutes, and finally got to the terminal - the four of us running to the gate - which of course was at the far end... So what was supposed to be a comfortable 90 minute connection turned into a race against the clock and the line-ups, and we missed our flight by 5 minutes. Crud!
I went to the service desk right away and was able to get us four seats on the next flight to Toronto... phew!!! Re-routed our luggage to the same flight, hoping that we would find it all on the Toronto carousel. We had time to sit down and have a meal, and the flight home was great. No line-up at the customs, all our luggage made it, and we were on our way home about 15 minutes after landing. Sweet!
It's very good to be home.
I am not done with this blog just yet, I want to wrap things up with some family travel advice on destinations and accommodations, and some of our very positive stories about Mexico - because there are many!
Somewhere between Izamal and Sudzal, Yucatan.
