Always book the seats at the front of the plane, last on and first off way less time sitting in the uncomfortable seats.
take a package of wet ones and wipe down your seat and tray and the back of the seat in front of you and the seatbelt and arm rests on the plane.... they do not wipe these things down after the last person was in your seat and they could have been sick.. i always get sick after flying.. i dont anymore..

Speaking of the travel portion of your trip here are two tips that have worked for me for years. 1 Give your immunity system a boost before you fly by taking Immunity-Fx or Airborne tablets for two or three days before you fly to help you from catching that "airplane cold". 2.

On a piece of paper write down or print all important phone #,s Travel agent Travel insurance Credit card #'s and phone #,s, (hard to find if you lose your card ) You doctors # ,s Emergency contact #'s. Note that some 1- 800 #,s will not work from Mexico, so get the regular #,s so you can call collect. Keep the piece of paper in your passport book. Trying to find a phone # in a foreign country/ Language can be hard.
Scan a copy of your passport to your email address: Your taxi could be hijacked by banditos and all your id + luggage stolen - a color scan will serve wonders as every government office, even in Mexico, has access to the internet. Pull up your email with the color scan of your passport attached. Storing important documents in the cloud is great.
