On the final approach to Santiago de Querétaro
I never learn – I got lazy with my time off and let too much to do the day before my departure. It took a 5:00 a.m. wake-up to get to a 12 noon flight. But I did manage to get the essentials complete.
The first leg of the flight went without a hitch until we landed in Houston. There were no empty gates!
My connecting flight to Querétaro was boarding as I sat on the tarmac trying to remain calm. And it was in Terminal B, as I finally deplaned a mile away in Terminal C.
I made it with 10 minutes to spare thanks to the tram arriving the moment that I got to it. I figured for sure my luggage would not make it, but to my delight I saw my bags within minutes of my passport being stamped off.
A new coworker, whom I had yet to meet, was on the same flight as me, and a driver picked us up and took us to the Doubletree Hotel. We chatted on the ride and he, thankfully, speaks Spanish. Our contact met us at the hotel, gave us our mobile phones and the routine for the next two days.
We checked in, relaxed a bit, and then my new friend called his buddy to give us a quick late night tour as we picked up a few provisions. Now it is time to relax.
Tomorrow we get our rental cars and our asssociate takes us house hunting. The real work begins on Monday!
