Today is a bittersweet day because we have to leave Guatemala and out new friends, but we get to come home to friends and family and modern bathrooms. We woke up in our nice hotel and ate some really good donuts from a local bakery for breakfast. Then we drove the hour of so from Antigua to the airport in Guatemala City. We said our goodbyes to the Jonathan, Alicia and Doug at the airport and waited to check-in for our flight. We had 28 people check-in for the flight successfully, but when the last person went to check-in we were informed that the flight was full and they would have to wait until tomorrow to fly home. So, as the trip leader, I gave up my seat and ended up staying an extra day. The worst part about staying was that the rest of the team had already gone through security, so I didn’t get to say goodbye to them and I didn’t get to experience the rest of the trip with them. The good news is that the team made it home safely after a 3 hour layover in Houston.
I on the other hand, was put up in a 5 star hotel and had all of my meals paid for. Plus, Jonathan and Doug met me at the hotel and we spent the day running around Guatemala City, and relaxing at the Hotel. Then on Saturday, I flew home safely in the comfort and luxury of First-class, which was a first for me.
