Mexico and the Dentist

---

An early start in Franktown this morning... out of bed at 2 15 and on the road to the airport by 2 45, thanks to Jim for the ride. The flight was then delayed for an hour to accomodate the airport in Cancun........ finally arrived in Cancun at 10 after 10 and it took me until after 1 to get to the hotel, not bad all things considered. It appears that I did not have a transfer between the airport and the hotel and the cabs price by what they think you can pay. My ride started at 50 US and ended at 200 pesos, what a run around. Anyhow I am here, the weather is looking great, sun is shining and it is warm outside. I have booked a few trips to see the Mayan Ruins and I am looking forward to that. I had lunch in the hotel buffet, quacamole with lettuce and chicken and a really nice little dessert. The hotel staff are friendly and very helpful which makes all the difference in the world. I was really tired when I arrived and after relaxing in my room for a bit I am feeling much better and able to deal with what ever is thrown my way. Looking forward to my time here. There is a conference on Climate Change happening here in Cancun so appearantly that is bogging up the streets and i must say there is certainly a real police presence here at this time. I feel safe and secure.... maybe.
