And The Winner Is.............

Mexico!!!!!! I will be spending my birthday in Mexico.

For the longest time I have wanted to visit Mexico but for some reason never got round to it despite its very close proximity to the US. I think sometimes we tend to take what we have close by for granted and that was the problem with me. I always figured Mexico is close by so I could always visit anytime and that's why I kept procastinating.

My trip was uneventful although for a minute there I thought I was going to miss my connecting flight to Mexico city. I only had 30 minutes to get to the assigned gate and you should have seen me running through the airport like a mad woman, I was determined to make it and I sure did but it was such a close call.

The flight was pretty short and we landed in two hours. It was a late night flight so the airport was pretty empty and passing through immigration was a breeze! that's one of the advantages of late night flights. From the airport I got a taxi and ended up at my host's house in less than 20 minutes. I will be staying with the family of a friend of a friend.......talk about connections. Anyway, the family seems really nice and friendly and have welcomed me into their home with open arms which I think is really sweet of them.

This was a welcome note from the little girl in the house, I heard she was very excited to learn I would be staying with them and she wanted to give me a special welcome so she left this note on my pillow. I arrived late at night so she was asleep by the time I got to the house.

I will be staying in Mexico city and will keep you updated on my adventures. The internet is really slow where I am but I will try to make the best out of it. Thats it folks, watch out for the next update.
