The actual journey to the Ironman begins on Wed 11/24. Here I am arrived in Mexico City for the layover flight to Cancun. I was advised not to leave the airport with the short amount of time. Well, they made me pick my luggages during the layover, so even if I got the time, there is no way I am going off to site seeing with these big luggages. So, we stayed in the airport, took a few photos, ate at the airport restaurant, walked around.. and got on the next flight to Cancun. I consider the Juraez International Airport as a world class, modern one, far more advanced than our old LAX airport.
Finally, after 14 hrs on the road, we got to our hotel in Playa Del Carmen. I have to say, the hotel we got is just so-so, but the location is right on the main strip which is on 5th Avenue.
Playa Del Carmen is a small little town about a hour South of Cancun. It's full of nice Euro-ish outdoor restaurants and shops throughout the long strip. While Cancun is more for party college kids, Playa is more suitable for people who are in their 35+, quiet and less crowded place for couples.
