[Yucatanned]

Well the Day of the Dead or the wishing for more time is upon us :-( Guess if there is some good news, I booked a 6:00pm flight I'm up for my normal sunrise run. Difference being I had to make a stop at the Bus Station to pick up 2 to Cun on the ADO. Holy crap 5:30 am and the station is jammed! Must be Sundays all the locals take buses to see family. Never seen so many people in Playa at 5:30 am!Got the tics with no trouble and run back to Java Joes for my last coffee with the "Clan". This being the day Mexico goes on daylight saving time kind of screwed things up. Most of my Peeps were there though. Tough to say goodbye. All I said was "Thanks for everything and see ya in June" Drink up, don't look back, CYA. On my way back to La T Cheevo caught up to me in his Limo Golf Cart. We say our goodbyes and I promise to look him up as soon as I get there in June. What a great guy!
Back at La Tortuga, I search out a few of my favs and lay a couple 50 peso tips around. Tell them not to spend it on wild women and song. But if they do, I want to hear about it! Ha Ha! A bit of time by the pool. Collect my " Mapchick Map" from about the 10th person I've lent it to and get the suitcases. Misty eyes around as I make my way down the stairs and wave to all my Peeps. Don't look back! It doesn't do any good. See ya La Tortuga!
Grab a cab to save carrying 4 much heavier bags to the Bus Station. Amazingly the Cabbie doesn't know where the Bus Station is. Ha Ha. He said" I make you the world's best Deal! I take you to aeropourto for $40.00. No Gracias I already have tickets! Although that was a decent price. Not as decent as $16.00 American but not bad! His memory block disappears and we get to the Bus Station.











Terminal 3, No sweat. Zing through checkin and security. Cool now we only have 2.5 hours to wait. Being punctual is a curse! My boy, being a big Forrest Gump fan, sees a place in the Airport to grab a bite. My first reaction is " tourist rip-off " which it kind of was but it also was pretty cool. No sense in being cheap now! The Kids that work in this place were high energy and it was a good way to blow a couple hours. You just don't want too many $8.00 cervasas!











And as the Curtain closes on another Most Excellent Yucatan Adventure I can only think of the immortal words of Porky Pig " The Tha The Tha The That's all Folks"
