We're in Guatemala!!!!

Holy crap!!!

We're here, smooth flights, no problems whatsoever. We're unpacked and I suppose as ready as we can be for Kat to show up at 10 am tomorrow! Yikes.

The driver met us at the airport, we flew through customs, no one even asked us a question (I was a little worried about that, knowing that Americans adopting aren't necessarily that popular here) and were whisked to our very nice suite at the hotel. Dan just finished ironing our clothes (so we don't look like slobs).

I've never flown Continental, but I was impressed. They had food on both legs of the fight, which I didn't think anyone did anymore. And we didn't get charged for our third bag (that was the stroller wrapped and duct-taped in a fluffy ski bag. Of course, they whacked the hell out of us for Kat's lap ticket (when flying internationally babies have to have one) at 10% of today's adult airfare for $300, so I think the gate agent felt bad enough that she didn't charge for the stroller.

The EAC Agency staff guy was very nice for the ten minutes that we saw him (and I didn't see a chase vehicle). We'll see him more tomorrow- and we'll see the suite tomorrow as well. I'm not sure how much we'll use it, but it has a microwave and stuff and that may be handy. We're the first family here in a month!

Tomorrow, we get the baby, meet the foster mom and then immediately one of us heads to the grocery store to get Kat supplies. And then sometime in the following 2 days, one of us will go to the craft market. Dan suggested that I would prefer to do the craft market and thus he'll do the grocery store so we both get to maximize our exposure to the city.

That's all I can think of to report.

We will post pics tomorrow.
