Update to Blog

Ok...I realize I haven't blogged anything in a long time and I should have been blogging the most exciting part...our VISIT TRIP!!! (I have been keeping a journal, though...so I'm not as bad as you might think!)

Aug. 19th....we left for DTW at 4:30 am...YIKES it was early...but we didn't mind...we were on an ADVENTURE!!!

We landed in Miami...had a short layover and finally landed in Guatemala around 2pm. The airport was much easier to navigate that I thought it would be. Went through customs...etc...then went outside to find the shuttle...this is where the culture shock began. We found the Marriott driver and took our bags over to the van...upon exiting the airport there were MANY children begging for money. It just broke my heart!!!

A short drive later...we arrived at the Marriott...checked in and began packing for our overnight trip. The view from our room was amazing. We could see a beautiful volcano, the sunset, the busy street and of course, Benjamin's favorite...McDonald's!!!

We went to bed early to rest up for our excing OVERNIGHT ADVENTURE!!!
