Quest for warmth, but didnt find it in Mexico.

Left Russia last week in search of a warmer climate.  So far routing has been SVO-WAW-ORY-MAD.  Todays flight got me 5000 miles closer to my final destination.  Took off from Madrid on one of Aeromexico's new 777-200s bound for Mexico City.  Cant say I like the new colors to much...that old bare metal looked so much better 8-)

Awaiting takeoff clearence.  Local time is aprox 14:45.  Pretty full load today of 250 passengers.

Climbing away.  Have a long flight ahead.
Image
Cruising along at FL320...still to heavy to climb to our assigned altitude of 38,000
Image
Somewhere over the Atlantic.
Image
Sun begins to set while we remain at FL380.  Supper is just about to be served.
Image
Decending into a cloud layer.  Will be arriving about an hour early tonight.
Image
Last rays of light as we make our way down.  
Image
Last shot.  Arrival to Mexico City was anything but fun.  Rough turbulence, dark, and visibility was down to 1/2 mile.  With 20 knot crosswind not helping anything we made one crusher of a landing.  Survived it with no damage.  Main gear may want to be checked before the next flight though :-[Image

Next stop is LAX.  From there I shall not tell.  But final destination is definatly warm and sunny 8-)

Destination has already been chosen.  All I'll say is its on the way to Austrailia.  And no its not New Zealand, though that was an option :-X
