We left for Mexico at 4:00am. on Saturday, April 17, 2010. We took a flight from Harrisburg down to Charlete, NC. From there we flew into Mexico City, then went on a two and a half hour bus ride to Puebla, which is southeast of Mexico City.
We arrived sometime in the afternoon that day.
Here is a picture of the volcano. (this volcano is over 40 miles away)
