Every major city in Canada has a direct flight to Puerto Vallarta. While waiting at the gate to board ours to Dallas we heard the calls for Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton, but no flight to San Antonio or Jackson. Going down to PV were fine but trying to get decent times home to Jackson, Mississippi proved impossible so we ended up with a long layover in Dallas. Had we booked an earlier flight we would have missed it. Clearing customs and finding the gate can not be done quickly so we were pleased with our choice even though we spent almost five hours waiting.
Finally we arrived in Jackson at 10:30. Our arrival time was to be 9:30 but we were late. Our plane did not arrive in Dallas so American took our plane from the hanger, checked it out and off we went...but late. The temperature was 40F and it was pouring rain. Fortunately, we had planned to take a taxi. Christina offered to pick us up but we declined. The drive home was miserable and we were happy not to be having Christina driving in the heavy rain.
Our bags ended up on an earlier flight so after our bags did not appear on the luggage carousel, the man who was pushing our wheelchairs took us upstairs and found our bag in anAmerican airline office. No official was in sight so we were fortunate that he knew where to look. Traveling is always subject to unexpected events but all was well when we arrived at our lovely home. The house is spotlessly clean with everything working. Of course, we have yet to turn on the TV or use the stove or coffee maker so perhaps I am speaking too quickly. Getting home is always a pleasure, even after a very long day.
