Trip to the other side of the world
It had taken me one month of planning and coordination (my brother came from Bucuresti), but there I was in JFK*s AA Terminal, waiting anxiously for my flight to take off. The other part of America, low rise and much more low profile, was a mere four hours away, waiting to be discovered. Fast forward through all the waiting, reading and eating peanuts, I land in Cancun after a passenger's dream come true – an uneventful flight. The air is so heavy and thick, it feels like I’m breathing through a wet sponge. It takes me more than 30 minutes to adjust after coming out from the leveled temperature of the terminal. I think about lighting a cigarette, bu t as quickly as the thought appears I chase it away, cause I quit smoking a while ago and I’m not about to give in (again) into (this) temptation. A short, but friendly looking Mexican comes out of nowhere and pulls at my luggage asking me at the same time where do I need to go. - “Terminal 2” I reply, and before I could say anything
