30 October 1981
2350 hrs David Good arrives at my apt. to drive me
to the airport. I am planning to fly to Mexico City
and spend about 10 days with Stan Sessions
and Dave Darda on the last leg of their month
long trip in Mexico. Dave Wake is flying to Berkeley
in the morning. He has been with Stan and Dave D.
for the past three weeks or so.
31 October 1981
0115 hrs Board Mexicana flight 145 for Guadalajara
and Mexico City.
0410 hrs Arrive Guadalajara. Have to deboard the plane
and fill out tourist papers. I loose my birth
certificate in the process.
0515 hrs leave Guadalajara for Mexico City (45 min
flight).
0605 hrs Arrive Mexico City. Note: I tried to take a
liquid nitrogen tank (LNL) on the plane but the Mexican
people would not allow it. Besides the form for
"Shippers Certificate for Restricted Articles" & authorization
form from Cargo Mexicano and the captain's
signature is apparently required. So I had to
dump out the liquid N2 at the airport and take the
empty tank.
0830 hrs (Mexico time two hours ahead) past through
customs but had problems with the N2 tank again.
Met Stan and Dave. Had to wait ca. 35 min with no one
