Arrival into Guatemala City

We had a FULL flight down to Guatemala City. There was an option to get another flight plus 650.00 each, but that would mean we would have to fly through Miami - and with the recent hurricane Milton, we didn’t want to think about going through Florida.

We took the shuttle to the Barcelo Hotel where we dropped off our 2 large pieces of luggage and it’ll be there until we return next weekend after the board meetings. Glenn and I walked to the Media Cancha Restaurant. Glenn visited at length with the owner (former semi-pro football player from Argentina) about catering the meal on Friday at SETECA. We enjoyed the delicious steak dinner. Yep, I ate too much. The soup was delicious along with the salad and steak.

We took an Uber to the hotel to collect our small luggage then to SETECA to settle into our 1 room apartment for 2 nights. Next we the rush hour traffic to see Bob Henriques and visit with him, give him the jellybeans we purchased at Walmart and to retrieve an old luggage that we’ll use for the rest of our journey. A visit with Steve and Elisa Sywulka then the 1 hour drive to Antigua in the dark. We visited with 92 year old Paul and Ruth Philippi in their home. Glenn was able to exchange his dollars to Guatemalan Quetzales.

We returned back to our apartment. Nice place. Noisy. But I was tired and that didn’t make a difference.Read more
