Well...the countdown has officially (pretty much) ended. I've stopped telling people we're leaving "in a few days" and started to become a little short of breath when asked what our departure date is. Jake, the master of last-minute packing, has made a few comments about the backpack propped up in the corner of my room. It's already bursting with flip flops, toiletries, sun dresses and books, about two days ahead of schedule. My response is that I am an Ayliffe and Ayliffes pack three ways: too early, to excess, and in preparation for some kind of apocalypse. Yes, I should probably pare down. Am I going to? Certainly not. What would Mexico be like without my favorite rock collection?
On a more logistical note, here is some flight information for you guys that like to know when and how things happen. We fly out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport at 8:45 in the morning on Thursday, April 24th. Our airline is Continental, if anyone's interested in tracking us. After a short layover in Houston, we'll arrive in Mexico City around 2:30pm, central time. We'll be spending a couple of nights in the city, catching Lucha Libre (fingers crossed!) on Friday night, and then movin' on. More to come...wish us a safe flight!
