The decision has been made and the tickets have been bought. This year, Harriet and I are headed to Guatemala for our annual November vacation. Based on our minimal investigations, Guatemala meets all of our criteria: good food, lots of color, cultural sites, and inexpensive.
It will be one of our least grueling travel experiences, at least in terms of getting to our destination. A five hour flight and only a one hour time difference
We’ll be flying out of L.A. on Sunday, October 28th and traveling directly to Guatemala City. From there, we’ll take a 45 minute bus ride to Antigua where we will start our adventures. After that – well if you know us you know we have very little planned. You’ll see where we’ve been shortly after we surprise ourselves.
We do know we’ll be coming back on Tuesday, November 2oth – in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. And we have a house sitter taking care of everything (the dogs!) while we are gone.
We’ll be posting our travel updates to this blog as we did for the Malaysia trip. Soon we’ll be sending out an email to confirm the addresses we have for folks and whether or not you’d like to get email notices of our updates. Remember, Harriet typically writes the text – so your won’t get a lot of “engineer grammar”. I’ll just step in with facts and figures (like this post).
That’s our update and we look forward to staying in touch with everyone during out trip (these internets are cool tubes!)
