It starts… in Cancun!
Monday, October 16th, 2006We have arrived in Cancun where the keyboard is only slightly different from the keyboard in the U.S. So every time I try to capitalize anything I end up typing a bunch of ¨<¨´s. Bear with me. We awoke this morning at 5 am after three hours of blissful sleep and wound our way to the Tulsa airport. Our first flight took us in the opposite direction of our destination: Denver. It also caused a good deal of motion sickness. These early morning setbacks were remedied by our second flight, which took us on a wonderful rollercoaster of emotion. You see, Ted, our airline (who cares about our safety) was playing the Pixar movie, Cars. Who knew that inflight movies could be so moving? I definitely cried the whole way through the ending credits. Megan cried too, but she might not admit it. Those animated cars sure do learn a lot of important life lessons in a short amount of time. I commend them. Anyway, we´re here. We´re safe. We´re sound. We´ve learned not to rely too heavily on Lonely Planet guidebooks, which instructed us to take a non-existent bus line from a non-existent ¨Coca Cola stand.¨ We´ve fought through the first bout of ¨oh my god, what have we done.¨ Then, we ate the best tacos either of us have ever tasted. This convinced us that we had, in fact done something good, and not made the biggest little mistake of our lives. Tacos are good for that. (By the way, our Tacos were named Pastor Loco, which makes me think of a crazy minister and I feel a little weird about eating a man of god, even if he is a little mental, but hey, what can you do?) We´re off. Wish us luck. -Sarah (with help from Megan)
