Arrived in Cancun

Well I made it here but as per usual I had problems travelling with my dog. What's up with that? This time I was able to board my Aeromexico flight fine in Manazanillo. The problems started when I landed in Mexico City for my connecting flight to Cancun. When I was given my ticket in Manzanillo I questioned why they were giving me a boarding pass that didn't include 'pet in cabin' on it. (I learned my lesson with that one that last time I flew home from Mexico.) The ticket agent reassured me that there wouldn't be a problem as he handed me a 'boarding pass' for Tucker. Turns out it wasn't a boarding pass it was just a receipt that I paid for him to fly with me. Needless to say, they wouldn't let me into the Mexico City airport when I got off the plane. I was pulled to the side and I had to wait 20 minutes for them to clear up the issue. Thankfully another passenger waited with me and translated for me. Thank you nice Mexican man.

So finally I was allowed to go through security but I was quickly pulled aside again. The security guy slapped on some rubber gloves and by this time my translator was long gone, so me being me, I panicked and thought 'Holy crap he's going to examine me with those gloves on.' When I pointed at myself and said "Me??" the guy laughed and said "No perro." Thank God the gloves were for Tucker and not me!

'Why me?
Poor Tucker got frisked and off we went. Last passenger on the plane - of course. But I'm here. :)
