Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

This was a special memory of the Riviera Maya, Mexico. I took a bus ride to an unmarked airport in Cancun, Mexico. While entering the airport I was hastily greeted with "No cameras" by men with rifle's and camo uniforms. I then paid $150 to board what I called "The paper airplane." This plane consisted of glider wings and a lawnmower engine;) Me and the pilot were packed like sardines in the two seats. As I inquired about the weight limit..I realized this guy does not speak English. I could only laugh as we seemed to inch down the airstrip. Fleeting thoughts of death passed as we rose into the air and ~The world from above~ touched all my senses...
