We're On Our Way to Oaxaca....!

Our early start got us to the Spokane Airport within 2 minutes of being too late get on the international flight....
First I was stopped in Sandpoint by a policeman for speeding... 46 in a 35.  Then I got a parking ticket at the airport for leaving my car unattended for literally 1 minute as I walked Sheraya into the airport door with the heavy suitcases.  Then when I parked the car in the outside parking lot, the shuttle left without me.  I waited an extra 10 minutes until the shuttle bus arrived. We literally ran to security, got through quickly (they must have gotten a clue as I was hustling Sheraya and I though jamming my coat, computer and things into a box and shoving it toward the x-ray machine.

Anyway, we arrived just as they were starting to load the plane.  It was a good flight. Until we arrived close to San Fransisco.  They were enclosed in fog and would not let us land. We circled for about an hour and then had to re-route to Fresno to get more fuel.  We then boarded the plane again and landed in San Fransisco.. but the plane to Houston had already departed.

Sorry, no flights to Oaxaca from Houston until Thursday or Friday.  So, we opted to fly into Mexico City, 6 hours away from Oaxaca and take a bus or flight.  So, we are now waiting until 11:30PM tonight and flying to Mexico City arriving at 5:00AM and then taking a Viva Aero Bus at 8:00 AM, arriving in Oaxaca at 8:45 AM.
