So, my plans changed from South Africa or Australia to Guatemala. Mostly because it will be much cheaper, flights look great except for getting to IAH or LAX. And an employee posted a trip report awhile back on our company website that makes it sound easy to get to the places I am going to hit (shuttle vans between airport/antigua/lake atitlan).

Someone I work with has family down there who are going to pick me up and show me around Guatemala city for a day or two. I then plan on heading to Antigua and Lake Atitlan spending 2 or 3 days at each place. I will plan a different trip to head to Tikal.

Anyways, if anyone has any sites/restaurants etc. that I should see/do let me know.

Oh, I am leaving tomorrow night (Friday) and returning sometime the following week, all depends on how I am enjoying it.
