Mexico – El dia uno

Let me start by saying, WE HAD A BLAST!!!

The morning started by Rob and I waking up at 4:45AM to start getting ready. We were out the house by 5:15AM and headed towards Sharon’s. We were headed towards the airport South Terminal by 5:45AM. Yup, you read that right the South Terminal. We had not heard of it, until that morning either. We made our way in to the small/scary looking terminal and were checking in, when we realized that Sharon booked her ticket under her married name, but her passport had our maiden name. A little freak out moment, but they quickly notified us that for $40 she could get her ticket changed. So off we went to the sales desk to have things corrected. It was surprisingly painless and quick. So after checking in our bags, we sat around waiting for the rest of our party of 8. They arrived around 6:50AM and we went in through the security to wait for our 8:55AM flight.

We flew Viva Aerobus which was a roller coaster ride on its own. The plane was first come first serve seating, but apparently people have a hard time understanding what that means. It does not mean go in and save 3 row’s of seats for the people in your party. It means sit your a$$ down and let other’s take their seats. Phillip almost went off on this one lady (it was actually pretty funny). Anywho, after a crazy OMG I am about to die landing, we were in MEXICO…  We waited for our luggage, then headed out to find transportation to take us to the Hotel. We found a van to take us all for $11 a person (not too bad). We arrived and figured out that check-in is not until 4:00PM. No problem! They took our bags and showed us to the restaurant where we were able to fill our bellies and get our drink on. After 3 Pina Coladas and some yummy food we (Sharon, Phillip and I) headed to the beach (the rest of the group headed to the mall that was located across the street from our hotel). We soked up the beauty and all the sun we could and rode the waves. We could not have asked for a better day to arrive in Cancun. After swimming and cooking in the sun for about 4 hours we decided to see if our room was available. Everyone had their room, but Sharon and I. Which was all good with us. We just headed to Phillip and DJ’s room and chilled until our room was ready. After bathing and getting cleaned up, we all headed down to the buffet to grab some dinner and drinks. From what I remember, it was an earlish kind of night, we were all pooped from traveling and the lack of sleep from waking up before the sun.
