Soooo not such a smart move watching “The Most Dangerous Place in the World to be a Paramedic” before returning to Central America … the strong focus on the gang shootings on buses in Guatemala City promptly heralds a spate of texts from concerned friends (and excited beneficiaries of my will..) … to which I scoff – “idiots - I’m going to Antigua” .. until my travel agent pointed out I actually fly into Guatemala City at night and had a 45 minute BUS TRIP to Antigua … frantically looking into airport transfers now..
Going for a range of travel styles this trip – cross country backpacking from Guatemala through Belize to Mexico then onto New Orleans catching up with Bin. She booked a hotel in the French Quarter with the proviso “it’s probably not flash, but hopefully has heaps of charm. Besides you're a back-packer so anything with doors, electricity and running water is generally fine with you"...
And since my vacation finishes with a crazy wedding in Las Vegas … I now have to pack shorts, bathers and my best sequined-spandex-Elvis-inspired cocktail dress …
Less than three weeks to go … ransom fund reinitiated, rescue team primed, EPIRB sourced … and that’s just for my first night with the girls in Vegas … standby …
All will be fine on the bus, trust me, i am a Zebra.Can't help tou with Vegas tho....
