I was supposed to arrive in Puerto Vallarta at 7.45 am ..
I’m still on the bus and it’s midday ...
I have a flight at 2pm to San Francisco than back home to Australia this evening.
I still have 100km till I arrive in Puerto Vallarta..
The driver is picking up every local in every town and stops for a Large amount of time ..
I’m probably going to miss my flight which is going to cost me a lot of money ...
I’m not happy eta was 7.45am and it’s 12 noon and I’m still a hour or two away from my destination.🤬
