Cancun was supposed to be an easy place to get to on June 20th, but that didn't end up being the case. Grant, Adelaide, Mom, Russ and I drove down to Orlando early Saturday morning for a direct flight to Cancun, which would have had us there a little after 11:00 in the morning. Kari, Andrew, Stephenie and Anthony were fortunate enough not to get up so early and were going to meet us at the airport. Everyone gets there everything goes fine after a long check in process we get on the plane on time and off we go. About 40 minutes into our flight, which we were closer to Cancun than Orlando the pilot comes onto to make an announcement, "folks, we have an error light issue and we are going to have to turn the plane around because the problem can not be fixed in Mexico, but don't worry we'll be in the air again soon". So we get off the plane, they give us meal vouchers and say be back fast, because we are reboarding in 45 minutes. So we all run to grab lunch and get back to wait. After another gate change and 5 hours later it was determined that we would not be flying out on Saturday, but they could get us on a flight at 6:00am through Atlanta to Cancun. Long story short we stayed in a Hilton Garden Inn that night and eventually got our destination the next morning, and no they didn't refund our money for the flight or anything.
Transportation that had been rescheduled was there to pick us up as promised, though they didn't realize just how much luggage 8 adults and one baby would bring including golfclubs so they had to repack the car again in order to get us to the hotel. The hotel which was a part of our timeshare was even better than expected. We had a 3 bedroom on the first floor overlooking the beach and Mom and Russ had a one bedroom overlooking the pool (though that is the second room they were in and is their story to tell).
