The End of an Adventure

I had to say that my two weeks in Guatemala were some of the most rewarding two weeks in my life. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner (or packed warmer clothes)!

Some of the things I was grateful I packed:
1. Mini notepad to journal and make notes in.
2. Mini calculator for price conversions.
3. I was grateful all I brought was my carry-on backpack. I was able to do laundry (or rather drop of my laundry) for only $5 US.
4. The cord that transferred pictures from my camera to my iPod. I have a 2MB card in my camera but took over 1000 full size pictures so I was able to back them up quite easily onto my iPod.
5. My iPhone and iPod for music and movies for long layovers.
6. I didn't pack it but rather bought it there. I bought I little international phone there for $16 US and was able to call home. You could buy minutes and re-charge your phone whenever. I recommend waiting for triple or quad triple day to buy your minutes. :)

What I didn't need:
1. The skirt and dress I brought.
2. My electronic Spanish calculator.

What I wish I packed:
1. Warmer clothes.
2. Rain jacket.
3. It was hard given the space limitations but I would have liked to have my laptop. Since I had a home base for 2 weeks it would have been nicer then using the school computers.
4. Guidebook (not necessary but would have liked).



Stay tuned for my next adventure in Chile this October!
