Mexico Day One

Day one as I remember it, not as it actually happened.

I needed to wake up early to catch a flight out to Mexico. I awoke about 3 hours before my alarm went off. I was up & down the stairs, in & out of my room, to the kitchen, through the living room, I had the excited energy of a kid waking up just after Santa arrived on Christmas morning. I heard other mouses stirring that early as well but was never in the same room as the scurrying sounds until about an hour and a half before our alarms were to blare. It turned out that Snowball & Evilcat were having the same tingle of excitement & were scurrying about as well. We packed our bags with the speed induced in someone who awakes to find they are just 30 minutes away from a leaving flight that takes 25 minutes to get to. We didn't need this speed but it was given gladly in the anticipation of the trip ahead.

We left to the airport with no problems except that the quick route to the airport was shut down for some sort of police activity. Checking bag's was a bit hectic but went smoothly for that sort of thing, I don't think that is supposed to be easy. On the way in we kept trying to decide if food was a priority or if duty free liquor & smokes took the lead. Those of you who know us have already figured out the answer. Those of you who don't know us that well need to spend more time with us. We entered the plane & sat at the gate for about an hour. The grumbling began, let's go take off already, we need the drink cart already. Finally in the air we got to cruising altitude but the drink carts were delayed to turbulence. I normally like the ride when the planes a bumpin, but I was hungry, stinking turbulence. OH YEAH! I just remembered I have 2 health bars in my coat pocket left over from the superbowl party at Anatomist's house. We split those 3 ways, it was like manna from heaven. It did not however quell the growling beasts in our bellies. We started contemplating which drinks will be most filling & have the highest nutritional value, Tequila and orange, Tomato & Vodka, Beer with a Tomato Chaser. We were praying for the drink cart to supply pretzels, peanuts, or some other snack. They did not, Evilcat spied something that looked like food in one of the stewardesses hands & asked for them, they were cookies, the stewardess said that another one would pass them out later after the drinks we demanded to have them now & scarfed them down with moans of pleasure.

Snowball opted for the filling combination of 2 micro beers, Evilcat drank something I cant remember, I will come back & fill in here after consulting with her. I opted for coffee with Kahlua & 2 tomato juices. Coffee for the hunger killing effect. We did another round of these food substitutes & were pleasantly satisfied for what we had. We still dreamed of food, real food, sat back & read to each other & had loud conversations to the dismay of one lame ass sitting a couple seats up & over. Too bad for him, we live life, we don't sit quietly through it to make others happy.

More on the trip later & I'll come back to correct errors later I am currently paying for this in Mexico & failed to ask the cost in advance, I'm in for it.
