YOW -> ORD -> MTY

Then on to EPC (El Potrero Chico) once I get to Monterrey for a week of climbing.

The flight this morning is way too early -- 6:30am -- which means I was up at *shudder* 4am. So, not enough sleep.

I checked two pieces of luggage, they had me weight the larger (and lighter) of the two. Just under 50lbs -- so the other is probably over. Will be a bit lighter coming home, though, as I'll have eaten many of the energy bars that I packed. (They're hard to find in Hidalgo, the close-by town.)

I've also got actual business-class tickets for the trip down: the cost was about $50 more than regular for the routing I wanted, so I figured worth it for that little. Hopefully I'll get to nap a bit between here and Monterrey.

ORD

Arrived here on time, despite de-icing. Flight out of here is delayed about 40 minutes -- shouldn't be an issue, though. I'm the first arrival in Monterrey and would be waiting there for about 2 hours.

Also, the lounge in Chicago has The Economist! One of the few magazines I like to grab if I see a copy.

Arrived at EPC

I've successfully arrived at El Potrero Chico, found our campground, setup camp, and had dinner. Tomorrow we climb!
