In Mexico City

We're in the airport 2nd holiday inn. It's 12:20 here (1:20 EDT) and we need to leave for the airport at 6 tomorrow. The good news is I got the the restaurant 5 minutes before they closed and they sold me 2 beers (56 pesos, or about $4).

Everything went well (that is after the 5 am cancelled flight) till we got to Houston. Delta comes in to Terminal A, then you get a bus to terminal B, then you get a train to terminal D (with some walking in the middle.) NW in Midland issued us the boarding passes this far, but couldn't issue the Aeromexico (code share) flight. Wel, AM didn't have a reservation for this flight (since we'd changed due to the cancelation). They wanted us to go back to Terminal A and talk to Delta. I had Delta on my phone, Bill had NW on his phone and both agreed everything was fine - but AM disagreed. Bill finally got the agents talking to each other, and we did get boarding passes, but it consumed and hour. Good thing we had a long layover.

It's only 64 outside, so quite pleasant, but the hotel is warm, so sleeping will be a question. On to further vistas tomorrow.
