Dag 1
Plans change
15 augustus 2021, Guatemala ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
Our flight was cancelled, so Glenn and I finished packing. Called Barcelo hotel to make arrangements for Sunday night stay. Our new flight leaves at 5:30am

We thought we would take the shuttle over from the hotel, come to find out the shuttle is FULL.

There is a state of calamity here for Covid. No one is allowed out on the street from 10pm to 4am

Hopefully we can find a taxi after 4 and head on over to airport.

We shall see.

Glenn walked to McDonald’s and we shared a Big Mac out on our rooms patio. Great view of the airport.Meer informatie

Franscesco was our flight attendent
16 augustus 2021, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F
Karen and I follow “Life by Francesco” on YouTube and he was our flight attendant.

About 1/2 way thru the flight I went up to the galley and had a wonderful chat with him. He is super nice. We talked about the pandemic, flying on AA and cruises. He loves Disney cruises.

Karen was super excited that he was our flight attendant.

Matter of fact, he wasn’t suppose to be working the flight, however, while in Dallas yesterday, AA scheduling changed his crew to work the flight to Guatemala City and then Miami this morning. I gave him our card and told him that the next time he comes through Guatemala City, we could show him Antigua. Francesco said he would give Karen a shout out in his next vblog.

Again he was super nice.

Check out his YouTube channel.Meer informatie

Cracker Barrel with friends

We first met Judy and Tom on our latest cruise in 2020.

They live near Melbourne Florida, so they invited us to breakfast. We met at half way point. Vero Beach, Florida.

Fun fun time reconnecting. Tom and Judy were on the charter flight with us from South Africa on March 24, 2020. While on the cruise, they would join us for the worship service and towards the end of the cruise, we were meeting more frequently, because of the Covid 19 world crisis.

Good to catch up with them. I made a cross stitch book mark and small frame to give to Tom and Judy.Meer informatie

Jeff’s birthday breakfast

This morning we all 4 sat out on the back screen in porch and talked about family, politics, YouTube, Netflix series and food.

Jeff then prepared the griddle for bacon and pancakes while Glenn worked on his Mexican scrambled eggs. Kathy made the famous “Hannah’s Pancakes” from Hannah Brooks’ recipe in Samaipata, Bolivia.

Pictures were taken before I spilt the pancakes syrup on the table!Meer informatie
