Lost In Mexico City

21 Jul

Flying during a worldwide tech glitch, causing one of the worst travel days in history, after 9/11, of course, left much of the world with cancelled flights, ruined plans and much confusion. I must say, Mexico City was pretty chill if you’re going to be stranded with a cancelled flight to San Francisco. I never heard anyone raise their voice, cause a scene or mention a Biden conspiracy. The counter attendants were fabulous. Kudos to United Airline. Their folks worked tirelessly to make lemons into lemonade, all with a smile.

There are some nice restaurants in the airport. I ate well.

After two days of roaming the airport, I remembered it was blog day! No, there was no partying in the City. While I love Mexico City, the uncertainty of my flying future kept me mostly chill-laxing in my hotel room.

Not bad digs for an airport hotel. Compliments of United Airlines.

I finally got a confirmed flight, to Cancun then on to San Francisco. Fingers crossed all goes well. I will be glad to unpack and love on my grandchildren.

    Wait, didn’t you fly out of Cancun to begin with? To Mexico City, then back to CUN en route to SFO? I am probably missing something! Sorry you got caught up in the cyber-madness and hope you’re having a good time with your grands by now.

    What a computer mess. I’m glad you landed a place to stay and everyone stayed sane. And now you’re in San Francisco! Yay!
