The problems began at JFK airport. My plane was three hours late. I walked around the airpor t, looked in the stores, and drank coffee in th e cafes. I didn’t eat anything. That was a mistake! After the plane finally took off, they gave me a cold, tasteless meal that I couldn’t eat.
The agent felt sorry for me. She called her brother, Carlos, who agreed to take me to the village. Carlos arrived in a very old car and we left. Fifteen minutes later… the car broke down. I was tired, depressed, and very, very hungry. Luckily, Carlos was a mechanic. After an hour, he fixed the car, and we started driving again.

7 The agent asked a relative to help the writer.
I arranged to stay at a farmhouse outside a village in Mexico. My itinerary said that the plane arrived in Mexico at five o’clock in the afternoon, and then it was a thirty-minute drive from the airpor t to the village. I wanted to get to my destination before it got dark, so I could relax, watch the sunset, and enjoy an evening meal .
We arrived in Mexico in the early evening. The sun was setting as I was picking up my bags. I missed it completely! I went to the desk to get my rental car, and that’s when I discovered the next problem. The agent couldn’t find my name on the com puter, and there were no more cars. There were no buses or trains to the village, and the taxis were on strike.
