Central America, Here I Come... I mean, there I was!

Remember way back when I planned to make my way from Guatemala to Mexico? 

and remember my excuses for not writing about it right away? No? Neither do I.

However, in the next couple days I will have for you the whole story. The good, the bad, the hilarious and the terrible.

Some highlights:

  • Impromptu parades in Antigua
  • Volcano Dog
  • Cliff jumping inside a cave by candlelight
  • Swimming with sharks and manta rays in Belize
  • the hostel with it's mapaches (raccoons)
and some low points:
  • lost luggage
  • how to fix a broken bus
  • the trouble with being the translator when you don't know the language yourself 
  • what to do with a "croc-off" in the middle of the night
And so much more.

Central America, Here I Come!

I booked my flights to Central America yesterday. I can't wait.

Next step is to book our hop-on-hop-off bus with Bamba Experience.

The idea is to start in Guatemala and head north through Belize til we get to Cancun, where we are flying home from.

Because I'm such a planner, and I'm so short on time, here's a run down of all the things we're planning to do. Did I miss anything?
