Cancun Day 1 - We have arrived! SAT 12 MAR 2016
After a very short night, we rolled out at 3:30 am for the Indy International airport. Crowds were busy, but not record breaking. It is, after all, Spring Break.
Loaded the airplane, no problem. Then we waited. Something mechanical was wrong - and we were waiting on the mechanics. Seems that the guy across the aisle from us WAS a Delta mechanic. He went out and fixed the problem. We left 1 hour behind schedule.
We arrived in Atlanta at 8:30 and pulled up toward our gate. Stop. Gate was not working. Had to switch gates. We laughed that the door would probably be frozen shut and we would not be able to even get off the plane.
We grabbed the train and went directly to our connection. They were already loading. We put wheels on the ground in Cancun at 12:10 pm.
We got off the plane okay, but the lines in Immigration were enormous. We had never seen lines this long. We hit the far right line and never stopped moving. It was ultra smooth. Our luggage was waiting on us when we got there - and BTW the luggage area has been doubled in size. We pushed right through Customs - no issues.
We hired a private taxi and went directly to our hotel in a new Toyota with AC on. We checked right in, no lines and got a room that we will not have to change, even though we are staying longer than a week.
So 10.5 hours after leaving Mulberry, IN, we are sitting on the beach eating lunch in Cancun after having already checked into our room. It's 80 degrees F, windy and mostly sunny.
We asked our concierge to make reservations at The Capt's Cove restaurant next door for dinner. We are tired and figured we can walk over, eat, and come back and crash. The weather report currently has no rain all week. Mostly sunny with some wind. Highs in mid 80's; lows in mid 70's.
Sandy has already updated her FB page to haze on folks not here. Feel free to share your love for her on FB.

Yes, we're roughing it. But somebody's gotta do it!
