Delayed LA Wednesday 02.07.08

Well you guessed it, LA couldn't quite leave us with a friendly goodbye, im typing this up as we sit in LAX with an over booked flight and the outcome of now being delayed into Cancun, flying through Mexico City. great start to the day.

Im kinda bummed and really more surprised than anything else. turns out the major airlines overbook all their flights by about 5 passengers, so that if there are any cancelations of delays, they can still fill the planes and get their moneys worth. the stupid thing is we didn't even arrive or check in late here at LAX. we just lucked out on seat allocation and are now set to go through Mexico City.

well more on all this later, we've got a long day ahead of us and will be in touch as soon as we land. tomorrow we set off on our first bus trip out to Merida, looking forward to chilling out there and possibly squeezing in a tour of Uxmal if weather permits and we feel good. so yeh, downer day, but really it could have been alot worse, the second situation was to fly through Chicago and then onto Mexico City and Cancun. oh well, all is still cool .....

Ha! was just joking with Mark, mentioning that this place definitely has some Hoodoo to it, like it would just be our luck that a airport closure would happen before boarding for Mexico City, LA slappin us back for yesterday lol.

peace out.

Hey Shaun, all good this side of the world! Maroons won 16/10 (great stuff), Hey your fully booked flight was just a "little" glitch....he he :) Just put it all down to experience!! Just can't wait to see some pics of Cancun, now that should be a fantastic place just to have a seaside holiday all on it's own!

yeh all good here, we saw the Qld win result on the net from Merida. sweet, now we need the Springboks to go strong in the tri nations.

Cancun we spend a day and a half in on the end of the trip, so the token beach shots will be done then. but its pretty americanised, i'd ship down the coast to Playa Del Carmen or Tulum.
