Arriving in Cancun

My Qantas flight from Sydney touched down at 9.50am in LAX, and I managed to get through immigration (complete with fingerprints), found my bags, and not a major delay through customs. Terminal 6, where my flight to Cancun via Houston left from, was about a 500m walk, that's OK after 13 hours sitting, and I managed well with 44kg of luggage plus backpack. Continental's checkin is all automated, the only delay the security checkpoint ( at least I didn't get the full body pat-down this time!) and I was at the gate with about 45 minutes to spare.  It's about 2 1/2hrs to Houston where I had less than an hour turnaround, but as it turned out there was a problem with the door which delayed the flight to Cancun for almost an hour. So I arrived in Cancun at 10pm, tired and hungry. My phone wasn't working, think I'm out of credit, but a helpful young man in a rent-a-car booth used his mobile to phone my hotel to send the bus for me.
They told me where to wait, but the area was full of sharks trying to get me to travel with them, telling me that the hotel didn't have a shuttle bus (it did), the airport was about to close and I'd be left there alone all night if I didn't go with them. Finally the bus arrived and I learnt a new word "piratas", which is what they call these touts.
It was about 11pm by the time we got to the hotel Suites Gaby. I wasn't expecting a lot as I had paid around $25, but the room was spotless - brand new, comfy mattress, lovely bathroom. I can definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Cancun it was great value and the staff extremely helpful (they speak English too). I went out to get a snack - there are 2 Oxxo shops within a 100m walk in each direction, and "dinner" consisted of drinkable yoghurt, rice pudding and a chilled cafe latte.
A great hot shower and I crashed into bed.
