3am - Arrived at airport
The taxi dropped me at the Guatemala airport four hours before the take off of my flight. This gave me enough time to go thru immigration, inspection and eat breakfast..
Now as I type this blog post to you, I am still one hour before take off. Better to be four hours early than one minute late!
Health wise, I am OK today
Guadalajara
11am - Takes a lot of energy!
Boy-O-boy! My flight today is wearing me down. It's transferring from one flight to another that drains me. Because my flight originates in Guatemala and transfers to another flight in Mexico, I have retrieve my travel bag in Guadalajara, Mexico. Then put the bag back into the system so that it ends up in Tijuana, Mexico.
But before retrieving the bag, I have to go thru immigration. The lines are long in immigration.
By the time I went thru all of this stuff, I had crashed. Then my right arm started acting up. Bummer.
Starbucks
Noon - I am in Starbucks to use their WiFi. After eating one of their grilled cheese sandwiches and hydrating with bottled water, I'm feeling better.
I am thinking that I have to be much more careful when going on trips.
3:45pm - Home again
When my plane landed in Tijuana, everything went sooooo smooth. My flight bag arrived at the International Baggage Claim.
I went thru the Cross Border Xpress terminal. Used my Uber taxi app to call for a ride. And now I am home again.
The first thing I did in my apartment, was to turn on the heater. Really missed that heater!
PS: If you have not ever used the Uber taxi system, I suggest you try it. First thing to do, is to find Uber in Google. Then sign up. I love it!
Yea George!
