• Day 1 - from YYZ to CUN 🇲🇽

    April 9 in Mexico ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    We had a 3pm flight, so thankfully we didn’t need to wake up too early. I had a nice hardy breakfast before heading to my friend’s place. Her dad was going to drive us to the airport to meet our two other friends there. One was already waiting at the airport. We got there at about 10:30, checked in quite smoothly and headed towards the lounge (which was the main reason why we arrived to the airport so early). We got into the lounge and it was soooo nice! We filled ourselves with food and left at about 1:30 so we could head towards our gate to prepare for boarding. We started boarding at about 2:30pm. We all sat quite close to each other, 2 were in front and the other 2 were just in the row behind! It was a 4hr flight to Cancún airport! We arrived in good time, just before 6pm Cancun time (here is 1 hour behind Toronto). Unfortunately, they were quite slow with the luggage… we waited over an hour before our luggage came out on the carousel. Thankfully all of our checked bags made it to Cancun with us! We left the airport and looked for our shuttle bus, we found it and headed towards our hotel. Thankfully we chose a hotel not too far from the airport, so it was only a 25 min ride! Unfortunately it was pretty late when we arrived and checked into the hotel, so a lot of the good dinner restaurants were full. We ended up getting our 2 rooms (we were both next to each other) and headed towards the dinner buffet. We could see the pool and walked around a bit, it was beautiful grounds! We ate at 9pm so a lot of the fresh foods were taken, but it was still so delish! Maybe because we hadn’t eaten since 12pm LOL! I had lots of fish and some carnita! 😋 After stuffing ourselves, we were all pooped! So we went back to our rooms and completely knocked out! 😴Read more
