Translation of rascacielos

I grabbed a burger from an American fast food chain and swallowed it immediately, as I had not eaten for a while. I boarded the machine and could feel a slight stomachache but decided to ignore.
We left on time and the route included some nice beach towns along the coast, such as Tulum and Playa del Carmen. Behind me sat two very cute girls who started to talk to me about life in my country.
If I could get that far in Galaga, and handle enemy starships, I was sure that I could handle hurricane Ivan. I decided to continue to Mexico after having two dry airport muffins for breakfast.
