Sunday, October 17, 2010 Flight back home

Flight back home :( I got the usual weekend 2 hours of sleep before catching the bus after an amazing Playa del Carmen week, and an incredible 3 weeks in Mexico. Of course, my flight was delayed 2 hours, so I had to connect in Philadelphia and take 3 hours longer. I made it 3 full weeks until today (in the Cancun airport) without eating a single American food. But I had to get Johnny Rocket's because my choices were that, Margaritaville, Bubba Gump, Domino's, or Baja Fresh. I thought we were in Mexico...? The airport was the worst! Full of fatter than fat Americans, Southern accents, 2nd degree sunburns, whiny girls in KKG bootie shorts, and loud cheers reverberating from the NFL bars. I took some shots of free premium tequilas because I acted like I was going to buy some duty free stuff for 3x the price at Mexican liquor stores. The flight to Philly was like a party, everyone was joking. Then I got to Philly and found out my next flight was delayed 2 hours; nothing like getting to my house at 2:30am. Luckily, there was no Mexican family chillin in my living room since they stole my keys. Mexico was seriously so fun, and I have no clue why Americans don't go! It's so close and cheap (you can take a bus from Tijuana anywhere in the country, it's that easy), with great food, some of the friendliest people in the world, and a great atmosphere of fun, music, color, and vibrancy. An unexpectdly excellent vacation, and a place that I am interested in exploring again in more detail because, why not?
