The Experience

Li nudged me as we finally cleared customs at Cancun Airport—“Look for the green shirts!” she whispered, and honestly, I was still half-dazed from the flight. The arrivals area was this blur of sun through glass and a jumble of signs waving everywhere. Our driver, Armando, spotted us before we saw him—holding up my name on a tablet and grinning like he’d been waiting all day just for us (maybe he had?). He wore that bright green shirt they’d told us about in the instructions, so it was kind of impossible to miss him. I clutched my bag tighter anyway—there’s always that weird moment when you step out into the heat and noise after hours in recycled airplane air.

I didn’t expect the van to smell like actual leather—not that plasticky stuff—and there were these little facial towels rolled up on each seat. We both grabbed beers from the mini bar (two each included, which felt generous) and just sort of melted into those big seats. Armando pointed out where not to stop outside (“ignore anyone who tries to redirect you,” he said, with a look that made me trust him instantly). I could see other travelers getting roped into timeshare pitches near the exit; it’s wild how fast things get hectic here. But inside our Mercedes minivan it was quiet except for Li laughing at my Spanish (“cerveza” apparently sounds funnier when I say it).

The ride itself from Cancun Airport to our hotel only took about 25 minutes, but I remember every little thing—the way the sun flickered through the double sunroof, how cool the bottled water felt against my palm, that first sticky wave of humidity fading as soon as we closed the doors. WiFi worked fine (I sent my mom a selfie just to prove we’d arrived), but honestly? Mostly I just watched palm trees blur by while Armando told us about his favorite taco stand in Puerto Morelos. He said he’d wait as long as needed if flights were delayed—no rush at all—which somehow made me feel like we’d landed somewhere friendlier than most airports.

There’s something about being met by someone who knows exactly what chaos is waiting outside those glass doors. Even now, thinking back on it—I can almost hear Li laughing again, beer bottle clinking against mine as we toasted making it through customs without losing our bags or our tempers.

What’s included
