Guatemala Part I

For those who don't know, I will be visiting Guatemala this summer.  It will only be for a week, but I am still in shock that it will be happening at all!  I am going with friends who are going to visit relatives.  While there I will get to meet my sponsored child.  So here's the first post about this new adventure!

The airfare was booked last month thanks to help from a travel agent friend.

After a comedy (I'll laugh someday) of errors, I received an email today that my passport has been processed and mailed, and is expected to arrive next Monday!

A week or two ago I heard from the agency that I was approved to meet my sponsored child.  Over the weekend I received an email from their Guatemala office with an update on the kiddo and asking what day(s) I would like to meet him and his family.  Oh my!  The whole family!  How exciting!

So sometime soon I need to talk with my friends about hotel arrangements.  I need to let the agency know what the schedule is so we can arrange time to meet people.  Soon I will have my very first passport.

It's hard to believe!  I would pinch myself, but I'm pretty sore from the yard work I did yesterday.
