When I arrived at Cancun airport this afternoon for my 55 minute flight to Flores, Guatemala, it had been cancelled. The re-route option was to go from Cancun to Mexico City to Guatemala City, overnight stay, to Flores arriving tomorrow mid-day. Because I was already going miss my first day of school, I decided to wait 2 days in Cancun for the next direct flight on Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully I´ll have better luck then.
I am flying Taca air. They put me up in a Courtyard Marriott near the airport. It´s really nice and they are paying for the airport transport and all the meals. I imagine the hotel is pretty different from Doña Zoila Figeroa´s house (the home stay family I am scheduled to stay with in Flores). I guess it will be a few more days until I´m introduced to Guatemalan culture and food.
I assume I´m going to have many unexpected travel hiccups like this one...so the plan is to try to just roll with them and find the positive adventures that come out of the unexpected changes.

WOW! I found you through the blogging channels and had to make a post. It has been years since I have seen you. I don't think I would ever have the guts to do what you are doing. It's good to see picts of you and your family. I will continue to watch your journey. Good Luck! Amy (Brian) Berg
