I started my usual pre-trip insomnia. Actually, I can fall asleep, I just wake up at 3 and can't go back to sleep. So, here I am-the day we leave-finally getting the new blog going. Perhaps that chronic procrastination issue is related to the insomnia. Hmmmm... Today is Friday, January 30 and we leave for St. Louis late this afternoon. The kids and I fly out at 6 am tomorrow and will be in Guatemala City around 1pm. Then it is the long customs and immigration line and then a 45 minute drive to Antigua. I hope we will be settled in at our homestay location around 4pm and have a few hours to explore before it gets dark. Steve won't head down until Feb 7th but then he will be with us the rest of the trip. We will all fly home on February 27th. The kiddos and I will have all day Sunday to get acclimated to the world of Central America (it really takes more than one day, but that's what we've got) and then off to Spanish class on Monday morning. We will be in class
