...getting there... 10.29.09

It took us long enough to get here….whew!!! We made it to Mexico City just fine, but unfortunately our plane arrived a bit late. By the time we got off the plane, went through customs, and took a tram to the AeroMexico terminal, we missed our flight to Oaxaca. Nicole had a minor meltdown - to be expected, I mean it's our honeymoon and all, she wants it to be perfect. Our only two options were to wait until 9:00pm as stand-by passengers and cross our fingers that someone missed their flight, or take a taxi to the bus station and take the bus. We didn’t want to chance spending the night in the airport, so we opted for the bus. We learned 2 things en route to the bus station. 1) traffic lanes are merely a suggestion 2) Pedestrians must fend for their lives!!! Now we have the bus tickets, and 6-1/2 hours later, we arrive in Oaxaca. It’s now 12:30am and we both feel like greasy greasersons. I tell you, the arrival to the hotel made me think it may have been worth the wait….it’s muy bonito (very beautiful).

Next day…it’s 5pm and we’ve had a pretty full day – we’ll update you later on today’s happenings. So happy to be here in Oaxaca – we are LOVING it!!!!
