Checking things off the list

We're getting there.....

-Dogs- ready to be delivered to the 'spa'
-Called credit card companies to tell them we'll be in Guatemala and to let us use our cards while there. Had to explain to one Indian call center employee where Guatemala was. When I told him it's in Central America , he said I could use my card anywhere in the US. I faxed him a world map and highlighted Mexico's southern border.
-Got all of our documents (there are 3) organized and confirmed with the agency what we need paper-work wise. Dan is scanning and e-mailing them, just in case.
-Put the mail on hold

Next and last steps-
-Head to the bank for more US cash in pristine condition (Guatemalans can only use it if it is in good shape, and I suspect it's a primary currency down there).
-A stop at Target for food supplies for us- we'll be dependent on the hotel restaurant for the entire time....I hope I like something on the menu.
-Drop the boys off at the spa (after the dogpark, of course).
-Pack our stuff- oh yeah - and everything we could possible need for a baby we haven't yet met, for 4 days and a plane ride......

We're almost ready. We'll post from our hotel, assuming we do have high speed access, as advertised. If you don't see anything new, you'll know that we did NOT have access and we'll post when we get back.
