We said our goodbyes to the Ingram's and headed to the airport. We were flying out of Love Field so we had a little commuter plane to Houston, then on to Cancun from Houston. There were weather problems that day and flights were delayed. Our flight said it would be on time so we weren't too worried. Well we should have been. Pretty soon our flight was cancelled. We went back to the ticket counter as they tried to get us on any plane headed toward Cancun.
They finally got us on a flight but it was leaving Friday morning, not today. They put us in a taxi and booked us in a hotel room at DFW Airport Hotel and Conference Center. We saw a lot of the same people we were waiting with in the airport now at the hotel. We let everyone know we would not be in Mexico that night.
We walked down to Whataburger for lunch and then just hung out in the room watching TV and reading. I also looked on United Airlines for flight delays and requested a letter on the cause of delay. Later email revealed mechanical problems not weather. We got 2 tickets for future travel with United because I raised this issue.
Jen, Brian and Luke came down to visit and we walked down to Aspen Creek for dinner.

We took the shuttle from the hotel to the airport and we were on our way to Cancun. The hotel was about 45 minutes away from the airport and south of Cancun and the airport in the Playa Del Carmen area.
On the van ride to the hotel we met Bonnie and Jon. Friends of Courtney and David.
Here are pictures of our room.
Looking out from our balcony.
Court's gifts for the guests!
We met up with the Courtney and David and most of the wedding guests. We had lunch with David's dad, Ed and his wife Rita at the deck.
That night Courtney and David hosted a Cocktail Hour. We had met some of their friends on our other trips to Texas, so it was nice to see and talk to them.
Courtney and David had already taken care of the dinner plans. We ate at Spices with Noah, Courtney, David and his family.
April 13, 2013 Saturday WEDDING
The wedding was planned for 5 pm so we got to lounge around in the morning and early afternoon. Breakfast at the buffet. Bridget went over to Court's room and helped (watched) with the preparation.
Then it was time.
Ed, David and Andrew- The Jacksons
Noah was there!
Courtney was a beautiful bride. As everyone knows it takes awhile to get the wedding pictures from the photographer so that might be a future post. Until then it is a combination of photos from everyone.
After the ceremony and pictures. We had a little reception then dinner and cake. Everything was phenomenal.
April 14, 2013 Sunday
Rest and relaxation.
We ate at Palazzo with Courtney, David, Noah, Johan and Vanessa. We sat outside and enjoyed the food and views.
April 15, 2013 Monday
Leaving early in the morning. Room service for breakfast. Bye Mexico!
Johan and Vanessa. Good Friends.
News about the bombing at the Boston Marathon dominated the TVs at the airports. Back in San Diego and back to reality.
