El Salvador / Cali Airport / Hotel Plaza Las Americas

Only 5 minutes between flights ... had to run maybe like a couple blocks.  El Salvador airport located in the of San Salvador is small, with LONG runway.

Avianca Airlines served a choice of 2 meals.  A chicken/ with cheese sauce/potatoes/broccoli, roll, or Lasagna.  I choose the chicken.  I was impressed.  Drinks are free ... I choose red Johnny Walker, double on the rocks, 2 times.  Felt good during 4 1/2 hour flight..  Great entertainment System.

Forgot to mention, Alaska Airlines now has plugin at every seat, and complimentary WiFi.  Great entertainment utilizing your cell phone.

2 + hour flight to Cali served Lasagna meal.  Lasagna was good.  Drank one more Johnny Waller (Red) on the rocks, Double.  :)  Landed in Cali at 11:59pm.

Cali airport small.  Pass through immigration was not traumatic, but polite.  Customs opened bags but  no problems.  Taxi pay window was to the left out the door.,  $16 US to hotel.  1/2 hour drive.  Friendly Taxi driver.  He used to work in Boise.  One time he drove from Miami to Walla Walla..  Edier was impressed with Yellow Stone.  Hotel shuttle would have cost $20 US, plus a wait.  I trust Edier.  His card reads::  Servicio de Taxi, Aeropuerto - Todo destine. Edier Valencia  Cel:  318 356 2433.  Taxi ride was pleasant.  I will call him next week for trip back to airport.

Hotel Plaza las Americas has been comfortable, huge 3 room flat.  Clean, friendly, GREAT complimentary breakfast.  OK neighborhood (I had no problems).  Super Mercado around the corner.  Great Charbroiled chicken  outside restaurant on the corner.  Cash-in Money Gram at Davivienda.just about 7 blocks away.  10 to 12 block walk to main Cali Bus Terminal.

First time I shower with 5 shots of water at the same time.  Huge room.  3 beds, I only used one.  2 TVs (I am not sure why).  Clean and comfortable.  Cool staff.  Great fresh cooked to serve complimentary breakfast. Pool and Gym. Marble floor is slippery when feet are wet.  Fridge. 2 very quiet air conditioners  Couch and 2 chairs.  For about $35 US per night.  I needed the sleep.  WiFi strong.  Telephone in bathroom ... I did not receive any calls while in shower.... :)
