For students who may not travel with the group:

When you come out of customs in the Mexico City airport, you can change dollars to pesos in one of the CAMBIOS/banks at the airport. Then you can inquire about the Pullman de Morelos buses that will take you directly from the Mexico City airport to Cuernavaca. (Don’t let anyone tell you another way to get to Cuernavaca. Just ask for/look for the Pullman de Morelos buses to Cuernavaca.) The departures are fairly frequent. You’ll buy a ticket and wait for the bus. The ride takes about an hour and 15 minutes. From the bus terminal in Cuernavaca, you’ll take a cab to Rosita Partida’s house after school hours. (See the address above.) Mention that it’s across from Barba Azul. Keep this information handy to show the cab driver if necessary. Since Rosita will know when your flight arrives, she will have a fairly good idea of your arrival time. Rosita or someone in her family will then put you in contact with your Mexican family.
