At long last we are a week from take-off to Guatemala. The house is in capable hands, the bills are paid, and we're ready to begin our retirement journeys.
The plan is to spend three to four weeks in the highland town of Quetzaltenango (or Xela, pronounced Shayla) where we will immerse ourselves in the Spanish language and the culture of Central America. Darrel will be sharpening his Spanish skills while I'll be learning anew. We will study by day and stay with a local family by night. Our goal is to compose our final blog from Xela in Spanish (translations available). From Xela we will travel to places yet to be determined throughout Central America. Thanks to everyone who helped us plan and execute our trip. A special thanks to Alicia, Kara, Sara, Kimberly and Patrick, and Polly who provided great advice, ideas, and tips.
Hasta el proximo vez (until next time),
Jane and Darrel
