December Vacation

Just got back from Cancun Mexico on Christmas Eve. Almost didn't make it back. In the morning, went on the web to check status of our flight and found it had been canceled because "crew not available". Two (chargeable) calls to the US Airways 800 number in the USA resulted in our being disconnected before making it through the IVR system to a person. Finally, American Express connected us to a US Airways Mexican toll free number that reached an agent in the UK. Although she didn't know what time it was in Cancun, she did see that of the 200+ passengers on the canceled flight, we were amongst the "lucky" few who were put on an earlier flight. We had to cut short our morning plans and rush to the airport. Other than that surprise at the end, we enjoyed the trip - visiting archeological sites, swimming, parasailing, windsurfing, and otherwise enjoying the All-Inclusive hotel. Joe relearned how to windsurf and gave some lessons to KDB. Joe relearned some Spanish and KDB learned some Spanish for the first time. Although internet access and phoning from a Mexico vacation was inconvenient, Joe was able to sell a T1 line while on the trip.
