wow, this is really happening. ben and i lucked out and slept on both flights throughout the night before arriving in guatemala city. the luggage situation was quite absurd, but we went the route of bringing everything we wanted with us rather than shipping. all bags are now safely in the hotel room & it wasn't nearly as bad of a nightmare as we imagined it to be. when we stepped outside of the airport, there was a very well dressed man (the director of the school) holding a sign "colegio maya". he drove us straight to the hotel where we have a master suite and a great view. we have the day off today, so we're going to head out and find something to eat, but mostly relax in our comfortable hotel room. tomorrow we will go house hunting and have dinner with the boss & his wife. we couldn't have asked for this day to run more smoothly...
while we were waiting for our hotel room, they brought us delicious glasses of ice tea with lemon and ice. we both looked at each other and held onto the drink until we quickly dumped it into the hotel room sink. sure we feel comfortable at this fancy hotel room, but not that comfortable.
That is so funny! When you wrote that they brought you iced tea, I was thinking how nice, but at her same time...should they be drinking the water???!!!!
I am sooooo glad that everything went smoothly!
Have fun house hunting!
