Yup...could be....

But then again, on reflection...woe to those who have to lug around one of Ruthie's bags...

18 pesos or so for the fare, right...?
The luggage handling gets him the rest...and believe me, by that point I let them handle them.
Gladly.

If it were just a ride, that'd be a different story...

Gracias for the info, Cuffedlinks.

Seriously, I was thinking of the bus this time because it is so inexpensive compared to private transport. That means more money for Sol and other alcohol products, not to mention food, entertainment and knick-knack stuff to bring back to loved ones who really wanted t-shirts.
