Mexico City isn't as bad as you may think. Although when you get outside of the airport, smog really hurts your eyes and breathing is different until you get accustomed to it. Convert some money at the bank inside the airport for a good exchange rate. Be careful of con-men and don't do any alleys in the dark. Don't drink the water except if it is bottled. No ice cubes. Brush your teeth with bottled water or coke. No coffee either. Don't eat fresh fruit with a skin like apples or strawberries. Melon is ok.
Also from my experience, Atlanta is a good place to come through customs. In my opinion it is one of the best ports of entry with regard to speed. Expect your bags to get knicked and ripped. Take along a good book to read during your layovers and don't get excited. Patience is important, and being on time or early is essential.
If you are in O'Hare early in the morning, the "Sticky-buns" vendors have some really good pastries. Avoid O'Hare when winter storms are predicted.
Pick Airlines that have multiple flights to and from your departure and destination points. That way if you miss a flight another one will be not to far off.
Have a pleasant and safe trip!

Yes, keeping the same airline for the entire trip is the way to go. Hope none of us scared you about the trip. It will be a piece of cake. Mexico City does have some pretty sights, don't miss out on this opportunity. It is a very, very big city. I believe there is a hugh flea market thing that goes on every Saturday. You can get some nice jewelry, leather, jewels, gold, etc. at reasonable prices. I bought a few leather and silver gifts on my last trip which has been quite a few years now.

Maybe it will turn out kinda romantic like the movie "Six Days-Seven Nights" or whatever it was called. I have some friends that live in Mexico six months out of the year. They love it! They live about another inch away on the map, right on the Ocean. Guess there are lots of vacationing Americans around this entire area. AeroMexico isn't a bad airline as compared to some. Hoping you have a pleasant adventure!!

It was a Harrison Ford flick as a has been bush pilot on location in Tahiti. Was kinda stupid but entertaining. I don't like saltwater and as far as I'm concerned there can be sharks anywhere in the Pacific. I forget the name of the little town my friends live near. It has black sand beaches, etc. Doubt if you will find an hombre with a kubota but you never know.

The "Siesta" is a thing of the past except for a few bar bums sleeping it off. I can't swim nor even float. Saltwater helps but dries out your skin and bleaches your swimsuit if you're wearing one.
