Still looking at the different options to get to Xalapa. As for the last comment, we are obviously talking about two different countries. You're probably thinking of the Mexico that has Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, and where they fleece tourists left and right. Good luck going to that Mexico. The Mexico I'm visiting with my kids is the one where you pay $20 for dinner for five at the market after spending the morning in a kids' museum, and your 2 year old has a blast playing with local kids at the park, and learns to say "Gracias". In the afternoon you can go to the local downtown to blow bubbles to him and have your kid and other 5 nearby kids have a blast with the soap bubbles and baloons and colors. We're having a blast in Real Mexico, thank you very much. :-) Places like Cancun have more in common with Hawaii than Mexico. I did get some clothes, and eventually I did get my bag back. That's another story, which I'll be sure to mention Continental Customer Service. You’re right, not doing that again. Still looking at the different options to get to Xalapa.

I repeatly ask the airlines to book other options for connections. Also... if you can afford to fly to Mexico for the holiday with your family, you can afford to buy new clothes.
