Arrival in Zihua

Just arrived Thursday afternoon. We were an hour late as we waited on passengers connecting in Calgary but were the only plane when going through customs. Many were getting their suitcases checked by customs. I travel heavy and carry a lot of stuff so I always expect to be checked and actually I am lucky with that as most of the time they don't. But they did yesterday and the guy was friendly and polite. Just doing his job. I had a laptop, a Kindle and a tablet and lots of stuff over a large suitcase and a big bag plus a large carry-on and was out within 10 minutes from the time I lined up at the scanner. He asked a few questions as to how long I was staying and I told him some of the stuff is for donations. I had nothing I was not supposed to have and he realized quickly I know the rules. Once I cleared customs I went outside to get my collectivo. I know it always takes a bit of time to get one so I grabbed a beer at the new outdoor bar and enjoyed. I had a chat with a couple Canadians that were waiting to greet a couple friends off the same flight as me. They waited an hour after I came out! So I guess I did good. Then it was off to my hotel, Quinta Camalinas. Nice and quiet small place near the Bomberos station. Great start to my vacation...
