Well, almost ready to go! It's past midnight now and I'm up doing last minute laundry with Dave, who has been nice enough to take me all over Wisconsin showing me the sites. It seems funny that by tomorrow night I'll be living in Guatemala officially. Honestly over the past week I've been so preoccupied with what was happening in that exact moment that I haven't had much time to really think about how quickly my departure date was approaching. It's been a really wonderful week. I was able to spend some time with family, revisit a few places I love, bbq with college friends, kayak with my little brother, hike with Dave, reconnect with a long lost friend at Brat Fest in Madison, and enjoy lots of very American foods and locally brewed beers. It definitely feels like a summer vacation. Part of me is enjoying this week so much I'm almost a little bummed this part of the journey is over, however I know life can't always be like this past few days, and I have a whole new adventure awaiting me.
I arrive in Guatemala City tomorrow evening around 6:40 after layovers in Chicago and Miami. Considering my horrible track record with O'Hare, I'm a little nervous about making the connection and am keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly. There have already been a few hiccups in the plans because apparently my Guatemalan contact never received the flight information I sent over a month ago, and up until yesterday didn't know when I'd be flying in. I found it a little odd that she waited so late to let me know this. When I sent a reply email I received an out of office response instructing me to contact someone else. I just really hope theres someone waiting to pick me up tomorrow evening!
All right, on with the laundry. I'll post more when I'm able! Wish me luck!
