Mexico Day 1: Travel to Mexico

Well I got back from a vacation with the family to Mexico for a week so I decided to post my experiences from each day on here everyday for a week. Starting with the Sunday we left.

We arrived at the airport at about 12 to check in for our 2:40 pm flight. Upon arrival we found out our flight was delayed and wouldn't leave until 3:40. After waiting for 4 hours in the airport we finally boarded for our 4 hour flight to Puerto Vallerta. After a fairly bumpy ride consisting of watching Ironman 2 and reading over half of "My Side of the Mountain," which Katelyn insisted that I read, we landed in Puerto Vallerta. We walked through a group of pushy Mexican cab drivers to the shuttle that would take us to Royal De Cameron Resort. On the way we passed over 10 Pemex gas stations which must be their version of ESSO and most of them had a Oxxo which is their 7-11. As we were waiting in the lobby of our resort we were greeted with virgin mango margaritas. As we were waiting for our wristbands which would grant us access to free food and drinks (alcoholic if you had a red adult bracelet but no alcohol for the blue kids bracelet) my brother A.J. who is 17 years old was desperately hoping to see a red bracelet placed upon his wrist. He was ecstatic when 2 red bracelets came tumbling out of the bag for our room. We took our stuff to our rooms in building 1 but my dad and Susan were not content. They had reserved 2 rooms in any building but 1 and 2 because they were the nosiest. They also wanted rooms side by side but they were on the third floor while we were on the first. They wanted to change rooms but there was nothing that could be done until the morning. While changing there was a knock upon the door. We opened it to an employee asking for A.J. He came to take A.J's adult bracelet and gave him a kids. He was visibly disappointed. By now it was midnight local time (they are 2 hours ahead) and the buffet was open for midnight snack which consisted of fried chicken, fries, beer, and cake. We wandered around for a bit before heading to bed at 1:00 am.
