So we may have encountered our fair share of problems along the way: lost cell phones, missed flights, day long layovers, the Saints game, the list goes on.. And customs might have decided to search 87% of passengers on the flight.. But none of that matters anymore because, a) 16 more people now know where to find the Fox Sports bar in the Houston airport, b) AJ has finally made it through customs in a foreign country without getting searched, and most importantly, c) we're here. We're ready to go.

Random facts:
Holiday TimeDecember 28th is the Day of the Holy Innocents (Santos Inocentes), which commemorates King Herod's order to slaughter all male infants in his kingdom, in an effort to kill the Christ Child. Since King Herod failed in his quest, this day is celebrated much like an April Fool's Day.
Three Kings Day
December festivities continue through New Year's Eve and on to January 6th, which is Epiphany in other places, but is Día de Los Reyes (Three Kings Day) in Mexico. Since the 3 Kings brought presents to the Baby Jesus, this is the day that children in Mexico wake up to find their gifts from the Wise Men. This is the day that Rosca de Reyes (King Cakes) are eaten. Whoever gets the hidden Baby Jesus must give another party on or before Candlemas (the Feast of the Purification of Mary and the Presentation of Christ at the Church), which is Feb. 2.
