Ok, I got home<\/strong> but it was not easy and it was not all that far.  There were several of us and 2 of the guys had good connections from Houston directly to Villahermosa\u2026 so going<\/strong> home<\/strong> they left at about 7am and were home<\/strong> shortly after noon\u2026 Me\u2026 I  opted for another carrier and had to fly through Dallas then Mexico City then Villahermosa.   So going<\/strong> home<\/strong> it was the same way\u2026 my journey was not easy\u2026 The driver was to be at my hotel at 7 to get me to the airport<\/strong> about 1.5 hours before my 8:50 flight\u2026 at 7:11 I called for a cab.  The cab drove like is tail was on fire but we made it and I got checked in. Not a lot of wait time<\/strong> but maybe 30 minutes before we started the loading process.<\/p>\n

We made it to Mexico City in about 2plus hours and at 10:45 I was jogging through Terminal 2 (National terminal for there) to get to the cross airport<\/strong> train.  The Train is not a fast one<\/strong> either as well as it is maybe 2 or 3 miles across to the other terminal (International)\u2026 The train lets you out at the upper level, in the middle of the terminal.  Not bad except that terminal is maybe a mile or two long.  The counter I needed to check<\/strong> in at (because the airline in Villahermosa could not issue my on-going<\/strong> boarding pass) was at the far end.  Although at that time<\/strong> I had no clue which end.  I had met up with another traveller going<\/strong> to the same counter so we were asking people<\/strong> where to go\u2026 after several wrong turns we found the check-in and I got my boarding pass.<\/p>\n

Now to get in we had to go through security again, then up another level<\/strong> then back to the middle then out into the terminal and then back to the far end to find my gate\u2026 at the point I had another 1\/4 mile hall to get to the end and actually find the gate I was leaving from\u2026 Even with all that I did make it about 20 minutes before boarding and had a chance to get a sandwich and drink\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_6079\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seen at one<\/strong> of the stores in the Mexico City airport?<\/p>\n

The flight<\/strong> from there to Dallas was not anything to write about\u2026 except the guy in front of me was about twice my weight and about my height\u2026 promptly after takeoff\u2026 he hit the button to lean back and poof I could count the hairs on the top of his head it was that close\u2026 The seats are not supposed to go that far but he was able to get another full 3 inches out of it due to his weight and that 3 inches put it almost in my lap\u2026 so I leaned back a little and just put up with it.<\/p>\n

In Dallas I got off the plane and made it to \u201cpassport control\u201d and having gotten the \u201cknown traveller\u201d addition to my passport I stepped to the Kiosk and enter my passport, answered the few questions, it took my picture and I was off to get my checked luggage\u2026 when I got to the collection point (at the far end of the area) they were coming off \u2013 the \u201cpriority ones\u201d then poof it stopped?  then the belts stopped\u2026 and nothing\u2026 the people<\/strong> were all gathering now.  Then there were people<\/strong> at all the luggage claims?  after about 30 minutes I went to the front desk and asked and the answer was \u201cthe whole airport<\/strong> is shut down due to lightening\u201d\u2026 out the window t looked clear to me but what do I know.  We waited another 30 minutes before the \u201call-clear\u201d and then the bags started coming off\u2026 I grabbed mine and made it to the \u201cknown-traveller\u201d turn out and off I went with out the hassle of 10 questions again\u2026 out and re-check<\/strong> the bag\u2026 up a level<\/strong> and back through security (strip  level) then off to the tram and around to another terminal to wait\u2026<\/p>\n

The gate of my departure was 10B\u2026 got there and they were waiting on a flight<\/strong> that should of left over an hour before?  and the estimated time<\/strong> was about 15 minutes after the time<\/strong> of my flight?  well that is not good.  then they came on and said our flight<\/strong> had change gates to 7\u2026, so off to another gate and the now estimated time<\/strong> was 7:24 (original time<\/strong> had been 5:50pm\u2026) ok so we sat down then about that time<\/strong> they came on and said the gate change was to gate 15?  huh\u2026 but off we all went and once at gat 15 the time<\/strong> was not estimated at 7:00PM\u2026 (never had seen it get shorter)\u2026 and we did load at about 6:55 and everyone was in a hurry so it loaded pretty fast\u2026 the flight<\/strong> was a bit rough but not horrible and I got into OKC at 8PM, grabbed the box, out to the waiting car and off for dinner and home\u2026 I was tired and wore out but happy that I made it on one<\/strong> day\u2026 although I did have multiple severe leg cramps from all the jogging, hassle, standing, setting on hard seats and cramped planes, etc.  but they are loosing up ok now.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Getting really close to home<\/strong> here\u2026.<\/p>\n

Today, was a slow day\u2026 did a little work, separated some work papers out of the junk and generally sat around \u2026 This morning we took off for breakfast and I happened to capture this:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6077\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The McD\u2019s truck delivery driver has a preference and it was not McD\u2019s\u2026. We didn\u2019t go to McD\u2019s either.<\/p>\n

Just thought that was funny.<\/p>\n
