We have arrived

I write this as the sun begins to rise on day 2 of our Vacation. All was fairly smooth on our departure.. the motorcoach deposited us at the airport at about 3:15 and a smooth checkin, and then an on time 757.. all was well until we were about to turn on to the runway, and then the Saskatoon airport authority decided that this would be a good time to scrape the runway... our pilot was not pleased, but there we sat until it was cleaned off. Then in the air and away we go.. great flight, a few bumps over New Orleans, but that was about it. By the way, to see New Orleans from the air is a remarkable site. Anyway, after our delay taking off, we managed to be only 14 minutes late getting to Cancun International... and international is the key word... 20 flights from around the world landed withing about a half an hour... so the immigration procedure and luggage etc was a zoo... thousands of people, but we managed to get to our bus without losing any of our group... at least I think they all made it. In past trips to the Mayan Riviera, we would have a long bus ride to the resort, but this one was only a One Corona trip... about 20 minutes. The resort is as advertised... beautiful... a perfect size, no lineups for anything, no problem finding a spot by the pool or the beach.. Because of our early arrival time at the hotel, some rooms were ready and some were not, so we were forced to lay around on the beach and wait... what a burden. Anyway, all is well here in Mexico... as the saying goes, “what happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico” well, nothing has happened... but hopefully we will manage to cause some trouble as time goes on.... I will post a little video, or some photos before the day is done.
