| Not so public beach 10 minutes from down town Playa Del Carmen! |
I left Victoria, BC on Nov. 27 and arrived at Cancun Airport on Nov 28th at 7:30 am. I remember getting off the plane and the hot air hit me like a truck! I scurried across the platform with my carry on luggage to escape into the airport's terminal for relief. "I'm in Mexico now for the next 4 months," I thought. After 6 weeks of planning, selling stuff, moving and loads of prayer, I finally made it. Yahoo!
I`ve never been to Mexico and my senses where continually on high alert. I remember waiting in the airport before clearing the immigration line. Everything was different! I dreaded a long bus ride to downtown Playa Del Carmen after being on the plane all night.
Sounds of people speaking Spanish echoed across the airport corridors. I listened intently to this strange garble thinking how will I ever be able to communicate to the locals? I'm not worried though... If it wasn't for continuous prayers, I know in my heart I wouldn't be here now! I`m not lucky, I am blessed! I didn`t always have great faith, but after traveling across the U.S on my bicycle, I believe it`s all part of God`s divine plan for my life! [Jeremiah 29:11]
A half an hour went by before I advanced through the lineup. The ADO bus platform was easy to find and was outside to the far left of the Arrivals terminal doors. Having had little sleep from the night before, after about 5 minutes, I fell asleep. It was a good 45 minute bus ride to the downtown Playa Del Carmen. The bus terminal was located on famous Quinte Ave in Playa and was the final destination. I woke up upon arrival to the sound of the bus engines roaring and the shuffle of feet as passengers left the bus into the terminal. I`m finally here and my new adventure begins!

What does the Bible say about faith in God....
"And Jesus answered them, 'Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.'" [Mark 11:21-23]
For we walk by faith, not by sight. [2 Corinthians 5:7]
