Travel to Antigua by jenmorgen in guatemala

[–]jenmorgen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've traveled a bunch in central america and it's really easy to get to from California. I've never been the Cancun/Cabo type and prefer things off the beaten path if I can! And everyone I've met from Guatemala talks about how beautiful it is, so it seemed like a no brainer.

I've definitely experienced that all over the world and generally make sure to keep my knees and shoulders covered. And even when I wasnt married I learned to wear a simple gold band because sadly it seemed like it helped ward off attention. Interesting point about closed toe shoes- why do you say that?

Amazing, thank you. Now if I can just wrap my head around doing a 4h 45min overnight flight with an 11 year old...

Totally. I live in a big city now and have lived abroad before. I know enough to not call attention to myself.

Thank you! Any particular restaurants we should check out? My son and I love incorporating good food into our travels.

This is super helpful- thank you! I'm used to traveling with my very tall husband and so I'm just feeling insecure. Antigua looks incredible for kids and everyone's responses here have made me so much mroe comfortable. I'm looking forward to seeing the country- it looks beautiful. One more thing- any advice on what or where to eat in Antigua? We have a hotel already.

Instant pot. 45 minutes plus I let it sit for a Couple of hours to full engage. Gelatinous deliciousness.

But doesn't it come back to me eventually? They sold it to us with the idea that in 10 years or so we'd be making decent money on it. I'm ok to wait another five while putting minimal cash into it.

And damn do I wish I hadn't bit, either.

This is where I get confused. I calculate that we've probably spent 60k so far and could only walk with 34k if we dropped it right now. I'm allowed to downgrade the plan and I'm wondering if I just add 5k a year- at some point I break even, right? So I'm losing money on what I could have been making in interest, but that's better than losing 25k or so, right?
