Feb 1
A travelling day. We were scheduled to fly to Mexico City and change planes and then in to Puerto Vallarta. Wed did that with only one hitch. The connecting flight was delayed 90 minutes and in typical Mexican fashion we had to discover the details. "We announced it Senor." the man at the Mexicana desk explained - enough said!

Impressions of the day so far:
* Avoid the International side of Terminal 1 - it is not Air Canada and suffers in the lack of amenities. only a mini Tim Hortons and they had neither a full selection of goodies nor would they take a TH card. We only found out after being in line for 10 minutes.
* The plane to MC was full and appeared to be full of Canadian retirees staying for longer periods than the time offered by the tour companies. Thesefolks had rented villas and condos not an all inclusive crowd
* The plane to PV was run by an economy Mexicana subsidiary called "Click" half full and spacioius. BUT the big surprise so far, this economy line served free beer - a rarity in modern air travel.
