My learning ability is way lower than my husband's but I can try to pick up a bit here and there. The weather won't be as warm as I prefer but if I take the proper clothing perhaps I can stay comfortable enough in 16 to 22 degree weather. That is not at all warm for me but no different than summer time here in Red Deer. The big attraction is the price is right. Plus we have the option of staying with a local family to gain a bit of cultural experience and apply what we are learning immediately in a Spanish speaking environment.
I am considering rolling up my memory foam topper and bringing it with as I am not sure I would be able to sleep without it. Sleep is an issue for me anyway without the added realities of strange beds that are likely to be far from posh. Ah well, an adventure awaits.
Now to try to find reasonably priced flights. Real deals come up to Cancun occasionally that we have considered but then we would have to bus it to get down to Guatemala City. Not sure we are ready to strike out quite that far without Spanish language skills. I have a little spreadsheet going where I am recording flight prices and currency exchange rates. Both fluctuate all the time and I am hoping I will be able to detect a pattern to know whether to book or not. Guatemala City is the closest center to where we want to go.
Wish me luck!
