Mexico Day 4
I don't remember the specifics of booking this flight, but I guess the return trip I picked was the only one available. That's the only conceivable reason I can see why we flew in the totally wrong direction for two hours to Miami before enduring a four hour layover in the worst airport I've ever been in before--at last--heading to Denver. Our only food options during this whole ordeal were some non-vegetarian sandwiches in the terminal or some $3.00 Lays chips on the plane, both of which we passed on. Even though it was late when we got in, we drove to a diner and had a fantastic spread of food.
There's no pool outside our window, and certainly no coral reef-filled ocean, but there is nothing better in the world than collapsing into your own delicious bed at the end of a vacation.
I was looking up flights for my cousin's wedding and the cheapest flights that week are the worst possible: leave Cancun at 6pm and fly to Mexico City then a 13 hour layover and leave for Denver at 9 the next morning. I think it is worth my $50 extra to only have a 2 hour layover in Houston and not have to sleep in an airport.
