I was really excited to head out of town to see my Grandma and then move to Guatemala. I said all of my goodbyes (which were very difficult - even though I know I never showed any emotion- sorry.), packed my stuff in the Budget truck, attached my car, and headed to KY to see my Grandma. She doesn't live there, we were meeting in the middle, as she was heading to PA to see family. The drive took two days to get there - mom, dad, and myself piled into a truck with barely any leg room - it was interesting! The first night in KY we saw an outdoor dinner show about a family who just lost their father/husband, and him returning in spirit to say goodbye - think Ghost with Demi Moore. It was actually pretty funny! Then next day we spent time in a Shaker Village - we do weird things on vacation, don't ask. I have to admit it was interesting to see how the Shakers lived their lives and how advanced they were for their time. That took up most of our day so we just headed to dinner and a night full of card games (secretly my favorite thing to do).
The very next (early) morning we drove to AL to my parent's home to hang out until it was time for us to fly to Guatemala. We dropped off the truck, did a little shopping for items I would/might need in Guate, packed my belongings (again), and just hung out.
That Friday we drove to Atlanta to fly to Guatemala where I would be unpacking my belongs FOR GOOD! I have been several times before, but always for a short stint of time, but this trip was different, this was a trip for me to get settled in my new home. That still sounds soooo....hmmm, great! We arrived Friday night and picked up a ride to Antigua getting us there around 10:30pm. Time for bed!!
The next couple of days were about getting my life organized!! I couldn't wait!
