If I had realized that taking the ferry was part of our commute at the time of the booking of our departure flight, I would not have booked the flight at 7:30AM in the morning. Everyday, the earliest ferry from Isla Mujeres to Cancun departs at 5:30AM. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the airport from the port. We had to be at the airport by 5:30AM and arriving at Cancun at the ferry stop at 6:00AM would not give us enough time to check in our bags since we had to check in our bags an hour ahead of the flight.

We’ve tried rescheduling our flight. To reschedule, we had to pay $400 extra for each ticket. $800 was more than what we paid for the two way flight for both of us. So we decided to take the last ferry at 12:00AM; get to the airport as fast as we could; check in our bags; and enjoy the club scene in the Cancun hotel district. My girl friend heard about a lot of good things about a place called Coco Bongo which was our venue for the night.

Everything went as planned until we arrived at the airport at around 1:20AM: The airport was closed. I never knew of an international airport that closes until this night. The aiport did not even have a locker room in which we can put our luggage. Fortunately, we had a nice taxi driver who had lived in Texas for a few years just a few months ago. He would watch our luggage and come back at 5AM at the night club. For some reason, he was trustworthy and we trusted him.

We paid $30 each to get into Coco Bongo; for $30 we had all-you-can-drink until 3:30AM or so.

Coco Bongo is famous for being a night club with fancy shows. I wasn’t expecting much but when we got in the party was one that we’ve never experienced or seen before. When we went into the scene, the spider man show was on. One dressed as spider man and the other as the Green Goblin were mimicking a battle from the movie scene.

The most memorable show for the night for me was the Michael Jackson tribute show.

While the shows were going on, I was busy getting drinks: tequila shots as the main drink and beer as refreshments.

The club itself was like a parade.

After clubbing, I had the munchies and decided to try some Mexican street tacos. The beef in the tacos was very spicy and cooked to perfection: soft, moist, and chewy.

The entire night was very eventful with unexpected funs. Also, the taxi driver was waiting for us as he promised.
