Ahhh, beautiful Cancun. What a great way to spend a honeymoon.

"It was just beautiful, an unbelievable resort. Everything's wide open, there's like four pools," said Matt Raduechel, a newlywed whose honeymoon was cut short by Hurricane Emily.

Everything was great until Hurricane Emily started approaching Cancun, which at first wasn't that much of a concern to the newlyweds.

"Then I say the category of it, maybe it was three at that point. Then I said maybe we should fly out on Sunday instead of Monday," said Kelly Raduechel.

So the Raduechels headed to the airport to move their flight up, and that's when their honeymoon really started heading downhill.

"When we opened the doors to the Cancun airport it was just mass chaos," said Matt.

"People were passing out from the heat and people had animals. It was something out of a movie; lines of people and people who had tickets didn't get out," said Kelly.

And the Raduechels weren't getting out either. Dejected and worried they'd be caught in the hurricane, Matt and Kelly got ready to spend their honeymoon in a storm shelter.

"They were telling us not to pack anything, just to leave all of our luggage at the resort and to bring a pillow and a blanket."

Then, a ray of hope.

"It's 10:30 at night and right now we're waiting to get on a bus."

Two strangers offered Matt and Kelly the last two seats on a bus to Mexico City. There, the newlyweds would find a flight home, but their adventure wasn't over yet.

Their bus ride would last 22 hours, plenty of time for Matt to take out his video camera and record the very dangerous roads.

"Narrow roads, we saw cars flipped over. There was a tanker truck flipped over into the jungle."

"It's a two lane road, two lanes going one way, and he's going 65 mph weaving in and out of traffic with a coach bus."

But they did finally arrive in Mexico City, and with the help of their travel agent in Wausau, not to mention countless people along the way. Matt and Kelly finally booked a flight home.

"When we got to Atlanta there was a sign that said "welcome to the United States," and we're like, 'that just sounds too good.'"
