Yuckky, its hard getting up at 6:30 in the fricking morning! My eyeballs don’t work that early in the morning. When we got downstairs and checked out Ross went to the slots I went to Starbucks, the Carmel macchiato went down soooooooooo good, I almost could function. The Van picked us up by the tower we were staying in and it took almost an hour to get us to the airport, he kept going around in circles picking up people, I think he was new. Once we got to the airport everything went according to plan, we got to our gate, stopped at Burger King for Ross to have breakfast and me to have a coffee and orange juice, we sat down and my coffee was like water, so it went into the garbage, the orange juice however was great.

The plane left a little late and the movie was the one where the museum comes alive with Adam Sandler, very cute! We had chicken and a bun, some cookies and a pop and coffee one the flight and got to Mexico City in lots of time to catch our connecting flight. That was of course until we got to immigration. We showed them our Mexican Visa and our temp FM3’s (ours will be ready to pick up tomorrow, we had to register them) and they didn’t like what we had, he kept asking for the green FM3. He took our passports and Ross’s Temp FM3 and took off to the office. He came back a couple of minutes later and asked us to come with him to a room while they verified our Visa’s. We sat in the room for about ½ hour (he told us 5 minutes, they are always later than what they say) they gave us our documents back along with a letter letting us go back home. We had to sign a copy of the letter with copies of our passports and temp FM3’s and they let us go through. Whew! We were wondering if we had to stay in Mexico City for the night.


Once we got through immigration we stopped at a duty free shop and I found a watch I like. Ross said I couldn’t buy it cause we weren’t leaving the country, but on the plane coming here they were selling duty free so what the heck, all they can say is no. They asked where we were going and where we came from, after looking at our itinerary they let me buy it, hurray for me. It has a white band with a square face and a second hand.

We ate at a very nice restaurant bar in the airport, I had a great ham croissant sandwich and Ross had a clubhouse with guacamole and we think goat’s cheese, it was yummy. We went to our gate (#9) and sat and waited and waited and waited. The plane was to depart at 7:45 and the pilots and flight attendance got to the gate at 7:55, we were 1 hour late and the pilot explained to us the reason why we were late was because of the rain around the airport, it had nothing to do with not having a pilot.

Sue picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at Jenn’s restaurant so we could pick up our car. It is so good to be home, our puppies and kitties missed us so much, or we missed them, it was hard to tell. I got a glass of wine and sat out on our patio, I don’t think I will ever not enjoy this!

Love hugs and peace
Ross and Kim back home
