The one thing all guidebooks agree on is the fact that Cancun airport is a zoo. As soon as you walk out the front door a million and a half cab drivers try to tempt you to their cars with promises of cheap fares, margaritas, a night of passion with their younger sister or a combination of the above. Deep inside I was actually kinda looking forward to it... You see - there is this part of me that really loves saying no. You can therefore imagine my surprise when I found Cancun airport to be one of the nicest, newest and most civilized airports I've ever been to. It actually smells new.
One of the super cool things they have in Cancun airport is the way the customs system works. Instead of the customs officer giving you a long hard look and you trying to look as innocent as possible, they devised the button system. All you need to do is press a little button. Once you do, a little light is randomly illuminated in a little window. Green light and you are free to go. If the light is red - you can expect to spend the next couple of hours at the airport explaining why you need so many pairs of shoes, and your sick obsession with ladies' underwear.
My light flashed bright green (woo hoo) so within 15 minutes I was on my way to the piece of Mexican paradise that is Playa del Carmen.
