The Journey

DFW Airport, Texas, United States
Well, the 14+hour flight to Dallas was quite pleasant. With Qantas pyjamas, good food and service and a flat bed to get some sleep - there are no complaints!
On arrival at Dallas Fort Worth, the 4th busiest airport in the world for aircraft movements, we had about 5 hours until our next flight. But since Dallas City is about an hour away, the easiest thing to do was head to the Admirals Lounge for a few hours and have showers, and some complimentary drinks and snacks. This is not widely publicised but Qantas Club members can access Admirals Lounges.
We were so tired we thought we would have a wander through the airport and found an Irish Pub with some lively people within. After a couple of hours we headed to our gate for our American Airlines flight to Cancun but the flight was delayed by almost an hour in the end.
We made it to Cancun in the end only 30 minutes late. Thankfully whilst in economy for this 2 hour flight, we were in Row 8. The plane was almost new with great legroom and the entertainment system was fantastic! 
Thankfully due to Row 8 we were at the front of the Immigration line at Cancun airport with several other flights landing at the same time. It took us 20 minutes to be processed by the 3 officials on duty - other people at the back of the line will have waited hours! 
We headed to to baggage, and our suitcases were already there, and quickly got through customs and found our private transfer. Heavily touristic, our drive to our hotel took only 20 minutes but there are lots and lots of very nice looking resorts here!
On arrival at Live Aqua (a bit past 11pm) we went to the bar for a few drinks, and then went back to our room to order room service at 1am as we were hungry. This hotel is all inclusive and includes 24/7 room service. The chicken nachos were yummy!
Looking forward to a day of relaxing tomorrow before resuming more travel!
