      Meeting the missionaries

      February 21 in Guatemala ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

      We had a surprise upgrade as Glenn and I flew First class down to Guatemala. Since it was an international flight, we had privileges for the AA Admiral’s club. Terminal E was very quiet.

      While in the Club, I worked on some details of our future travel arrangements.

      Our flight to Guatemala City was very quick. 2 hours and 40 minutes.

      Once we landed, we checked thru immigration and customs. On our flight was Jill Gill who worked with Fred and would clean mom and dads teeth. So she knows Rick and Bev also. We also purchased a SIM card so we could connect to the WiFi.

      Steve Sywulka picked us up. We spent a good hour out on their patio talking about life and challenges.

      Then we walked next door and visited with Bob and Ann.

      Finally we made our way to Antigua. It was painfully slow as we crawled up the hill. However this gave us a chance to connect and read text messages.

      I found a hotel to stay in. Only 2 rooms left. We called and the manager said to pay via the app on the website. Kinda hard to do that while driving.

      We arrived at El Carman Hotel. Nice room. Glenn parked in a secure parking lot. We are tired. Got up at 3:45am flew business class, visited missionaries and fought rush hour traffic. And now for a good nights sleep.
